  • 1.  MapInfo Layout frame

    Posted 01-22-2024 04:27

    I am trying to get a map frame into a Layout in 2023. Unfortunately all previous methods I have used, now don't work in this new version.  

    I have tried to drag a map window into a Layout and from the Layout Window 

    Also in a Layout frame, select the map from the menu and the the map required from the drop down and all that produces is this!

    Hi

    I wonder if that error relates to a column that no longer exists in a table?

    Can you try selecting New Map from the Map dropdown on the Layout tab, and then select just one table to add to the map.

    Does that work?

    Thanks Peter

     

    Yes it allows me to select the individual tab layers from the dropdown yet when these layers are already combined in a map it won't open them into a Layout frame.

     

    I am working with tables in workspaces where I have previously been able to create layouts from maps with multiple tab layers in but they don't now work as they used to.

     

    I will make sure that each of the tabs files are packed and saved and try again.

    To me it sounds as if the workspace refers to a column, for example in a label expression, that doesn't exists.

    Don't you get a similar error when you open the workspace?

    Thanks

    I have set up a couple of maps in the same workspace, some using only Ordnance Survey tabs and another map using both OS tab with one that I have created.

    The maps using just the OS data work fine and open in a layout frame without a problem.  Whereas maps combining OS and tab layers I've generated don't and produce the error message.

    Also when opening a workspace using just OS data they open without a problem.  When I add one of my tab files then I get an error message.

    This tells me there is obviously something wrong with the tab files that I have previously used without any issues.  

    I need to do some more digging as there are colleagues I work with who also use and occasionally edit the tab files.  

     

    I will start off by making sure all of the tab files are packed.

     

    Thanks Peter your help is really appreciated.

    Chris,

    If you don't get it to work, reach out to our support team (support@precisely.com).

    They can do a screen share session with you to better understand why this issue occurs.

    Thanks

    Hi Peter

     

    I tried and succeeded to replicate the issue on our other MapInfo licences by using the same workspace.  I concluded that it was this one workspace that was causing the problem.

    After packing all the layers in the workspace and removing surplus layers it is now all working as it should. 

     

    The lesson I have taken from this is to make sure I pack tabs more regularly and especially after editing layers.

     

    Your help is really appreciated.

     

    Thanks

     

    Chris
