How to change Style Override properties for multiple worksheets all at once

  • 1.  How to change Style Override properties for multiple worksheets all at once

    Posted 05-29-2024 00:16

    Hello all,

    I need to make changes to 10 worksheets.

    I need to change the colour and line thickness of the same layer in every worksheet. 

    In each worksheet, the layer has been style overridden.

    Is there a way to change it for every worksheet all at once? I've tried using Ultraedit, but have been unsuccessful in finding any relevant fields relating to colour and line thickness.

    Thanks

    Hi Alexis

    It will be a bit tricky to do this through a text editor as you need first to locate the layer and then make the change. You could basically copy the entire layer setting from the layer with the new setting and paste that onto the layer in the other workspaces.

    Alternatively, you can use, for example, WindowHelper from the MapInfo Marketplace to copy the layer settings from a layer where you have changed the style and then open each of the other workspaces and paste the layer setting onto the layers that need to be changed.

    Do note that copying/pasting layer settings will copy and paste more than just the line color and thickness.

    Read more about WindowHelper.
