This is an excerpt from the MapInfo/Discover webinar series - Advanced Object Creation.
This video covers some of the advanced object creation and editing tools useful in creating maps. These tools include:
-Screen Digitizing - create digital datasets using existing tables and digitizing from a scanned image.
-Data Entry - We will use the Discover DigData utility to streamline the entry of attribute data for digitized map objects.
-MapInfo Autotrace - use Autotrace to trace nodes from existing polylines or polygons.
-The Discover PolyBuilder utility is designed to simplify the conversion of digitised linework (representing regions) into polygon vector objects.
-Clip to Polygon - Discard data that lie outside a selected region, clipping the retained data at the region boundary.
