  • 1.  How to print multiple pages layouts from MapBasic.

    Posted 02-01-2018 22:19

    Hello,

     

    I'm having some issues with the use of multiple pages in MapInfo Layouts.

     

    In version 12.5, 32 bit the Extents to fit  option would automatically adjust the number of pages in a Layout.

    This doenst't seem to work anymore?

     

    I can add a page to a layout in MapInfo, but i can't seem to find the mapbasic command to do this. is there a way to make sure a multi-page layout printed correctly in MI 64bit?

     

    I've attached a sample layout.

     

    best regards

    Pieter

    Hi Pieter

    The Layout in 64 bit works a bit different than the one in 32 bit.

    You now longer have the concept of a 2 by 3 page layout. You can have multiple pages in your layout but they work more like slides in PowerPoint.

    For your Layout, you would have to copy the content that is below the margin of your first page and go to the second page to insert it here.

    Hi Peter,

     

    Thank you for your answer.

    Is there a way to do this using MapBasic? I can't figure out how to create a layout with 2 pages, or add a page to a layout.

    The zoom extents parameter is still described in the help for the set layout command, better to remove it, as it has no use anymore.

     

    best regards

    Hi,

    I've just found the add designer page command :)
