Hi Peter, Actually, this is still an issue - I added in new text boxes, entered text and saved the Layout workspaces.  As I did this, the text boxes expanded.  But when I open the workspaces and write into these text boxes again (adding to the existing text which we use as a template) they do not ...

Thanks Peter.  It only happens in existing Layout workspace text boxes.  The boxes used to work like this, but I think it happened after a new upgrade - though I think it's more to do with the Layout (and how I saved it?) itself - they are based on v15 workspaces rather than created in 64-bit.   It's ...

Hello, We seem to no longer be able to type into a layout text box while it automatically expands to fit the width - we have to physically drag the box to widen it to fit the text now.   I feel there must be a setting that will change this - I'd be grateful if someone could let me know.  We're using ...

Thanks Peter, that's helpful.  I've amended those settings - the windows are mainly docked, it's specifically the Info window I need floating - so will see how it goes tomorrow. ------------------------------ Jane Mason Biological Records Officer (GIS), Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service, ...

Info tool default position

Hello All, In Pro v2021 is there a way to make the Info tool window open by default as Floating?  At the moment it's opening docked when I click on a map object - this means that it moves and re-sizes the map window and if I have a lot of data pulling over the network, it's frustratingly slow to re-draw.  ...

Thanks for your help, James.  Unfortunately I already tried removing the existing file and the same message occurs so the source code is necessary. Best wishes, Jane ------------------------------ Jane Mason Biological Records Officer (GIS), Suffolk Biodiversity Information Service, UK --- ...

I had a MapBasic tool called 'GridRefMapper 12.mbx' which worked in 32-bit MapInfo Pro, but not in 64-bit.  When I try, the error given is: (gridrefmapper 12.mb:102) Cannot open file error_log.txt.  It worked fine in Pro v15.  It generated points and grid squares from a table of British National ...

RE: MapInfo Pro v2021.1 crashing on opening workspace

Thanks Peter, but it turned out to be the settings under Options > MapInfo Pro Raster > Preferences > Raster Formats - I needed to disable MapInfo raster handlers - on the Native and GDAL tabs (see attached images).  I remember this was recommended for translucent raster display problems a while ago, ...

MapInfo Pro v2021.1 crashing on opening workspace

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hello everyone, We have a workspace which opens several layers - it's old but it works for us.  It opens fine in v15.0 and v2019.3, but when I try in v2021.1 MapInfo crashes after 6 seconds, without any message or warning.  The layers are all vector, with raster (including seamless tables) and OS ...

RE: Layout scalebar - editable text and shifting position

Hi, thank you William - your reply prompted me to go and hunt a bit in MapInfo as your scalebar tool was obviously different from the one I was using.  I had been activating the map window in the Layout, then going Add to Map > Scalebar, which brings up a Create Adornment box where the text can't be ...

I'm using v2021.1 and have two issues with the Layout Scalebar:   Are there any plans to make the text in the Layout Scalebar editable, so, for example, "kilometers" can be changed to British English spelling and with capital letter (Kilometres)?   Also - I have the same problem as a few others ...

Hi Peter, Thanks it seems to be with normal vector tab files, most held locally no web service layers. There are labels set to switch on at certain levels too, but I haven't found if this is the issue. If it's really troublesome I'll contact our IT as it sounds like a local issue. I think we are ...

Hello all, I've not long had v2019.3 Build 41 installed on a new laptop and noticed that it's very prone to crashing when zooming in and out - I think it's when layers are set to zoom ranges and so should switch on or off at different zoom levels.  I don't have this problem with v15.0 on the same ...
