Polyline update column with length result

[soren.l...@hotmail.com]

Hello,
Is there an easy way to calculate the length on selected polylines in
roadnet and update the column with the result?

I tried the "GeoMapVector.mbx" but I never got it to work on my data

Thanks
Soren

Very easily.

Perform an "Update Column"

*.Choose the table and column you wish to update (should be formatted
accordingly (i.e. decimal 6 x etc)

*.Set the value to ObjectLen(obj,"??") Replace ?? With your desired
units (ie. mi=miles, km=km, ft=feet, etc

This will update the length of each line to whatever point value you've
assigned (e.g. 2.456)

You can manipulate this witn the "rounding" function "round()"
If a line segment is 2.456 miles long and you only want the nearest
100th's...

Round(ObjectLen(obj,"mi"),0.01) would give you 2.460

Hope this helps,
