On my previous tutorial I've shown you how to offset an object with specific distance on MapInfo. Now, I want to show you how to create buffer on MapInfo. This is a built in feature in MapInfo so you don't have to have Encom Discover to create buffer from an object or table.
To create buffer from a single line, or object, go to Table | Buffer.
The buffer creator wizard will be opened. Select the table containing object you want to buffer and where you want to store the buffer. You can store the buffer on the same table or the new table.
Now enter the buffer radius, unit and some other options. And this is the final result.
