Hi, Does anyone know if this Bing Tile Server error message is normally only when the latest Bing patch hasn't been installed? Or is for another reason? A client as happily running Bing until a few weeks ago, and is now getting this message Despite running the bing patch it's not working. Client ...

Hi This error keeps popping up when I open the Open > WMS dialogue. Clicking "OK" lets me get to the WMS server dialogue, but it's not very encouraging. Is this normal, now? Or a problem with my default server (MapInfo Web Mapping Service Demo) Thanks ------------------------------ Caroline ...

Thanks Peter, I'll try that. It's really frustrating as it also keeps opening what should be floating windows as tabbed windows. ------------------------------ Caroline Hilton Pelican GeoGraphics Ltd (VAR) Petersfield ------------------------------

Hi Peter Have workspaces changes recently? I am sure when I used to save a workspace, it would open up with the same window tab at the front as when I left it, and with the tabs in the same order as when I left them. Using v2023 Build 119. A bit of experimentation today showed me that it always opens ...

RE: Printing map and legend over 2 pages: Layout designer

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hmm.... thanks John. So it's a 2-step process done outside of MapInfo? That seems like a rather backward step for something that was so useful previously. It wouldn't be as annoying if it was possible to insert a thematic legend on page 2, but that's not possible. Cheers, as always, to you (and ...

Printing map and legend over 2 pages: Layout designer

I have a situation where I need to print a map, and a (large) thematic legend, on separate A4 sheets. In the old days of 32-bit I'd set my layout to fit the extents of the print job, giving me 2 landscape pages, where I could put the map on one page, and the legend on the other. Now in layout designer ...

Many thanks, Uffe. Much appreciated, although my PC won't let me get that either. It's not like I have any impenetrable security settings, either! John Ievers has sent me the file though, from his PC, so I'm now trying to work out how to edit the relevant line :)   ------------------------------ ...

Cheers John. I saw that, after posting the question. It doesn't say we can't move it though... (a work-around required, I think, as it's REALLY ugly where it is, and obscures the data completely!) Frustrating not to be able to resize the text, as it takes up a large amount of the map. This is ...

Many thanks, Nick. That's really useful. Would there be something we could add to the xml to force it to left-justify, instead of right-justify? That would probably be all we needed to do for this particular map window. ------------------------------ Caroline Hilton Pelican GeoGraphics Ltd (VAR) ...

Edit size or position of Bing Copyright

Hi,  Is there a way to edit the size or position of the Microsoft (Bing) copyright text, in a layout? It's covering up a crucial part of the map display. Normally, I'd change the map position so the important info is visible, but in this case it's a specifically-located map strip above a cross-section ...

Thanks Peter. I tried opening as a native MapInfo table rather than an Excel-linked table, and it worked, although behaved very strangely, and opened the thematic map in a new window and made a copy of the original point file in the original window. It was then quite difficult to get the thematic ...
