You can use the Smooth command to convert polyline angles into polyline curves.

To smooth a polyline angle into a polyline curve:

  • Click on a polyline with the Select command. On the SPATIAL tab, in the Selection group, click Select, and Select.
  • On the SPATIAL tab, in the group, click Smooth Lines in the list.

    MapInfo Pro smoothes the line so that it appears to be one continuous line with curves instead of angles.

  • To undo the process, on the SPATIAL tab, in the group, click Unsmooth Lines.

The Smooth Lines and Unsmooth Lines commands only work on polylines. A polyline is a line drawn with the Polyline command. Smooth Lines and Unsmooth Lines do not work with objects drawn with the Line command. If you attempt to smooth or unsmooth any object besides a polyline, MapInfo Pro displays a warning message.
