Hi Alan, Try this: $mb(MapperInfo(LayoutItemInfo(CurContext(1), "Map-1", 5), 33)) The "33" corresponds to the following MapperInfo attibute:   Define MAPPER_INFO_CARTO_SCALE_EXPR 33 For a bit more explanation, here's a quick breakdown of the above statement: CurrContext() is a special ...

Thanks for the PDF sample. I see that most of your PDF file is in vector format. I see a fill pattern in the middle of the map frame. Is this the fill pattern you are concerned about? I also see 4 rectangular legend swatches in the lower right. In MapInfo Pro 2019, we added support to improve the ...

We are trying to preserve vector output when possible. There are options (such as layer translucency) which require us to rasterize a layer. Would you mind sending me a copy of your PDF so that I could look at the content of your layout? Better yet, could you send me the data that you are using? If ...

Yes, some print or note statements should help you track this down. You need to confirm what window InNewWin is set to (after using these statements):        Run Application "J:\GeoApps\MapLayouts\8X11P\" + tcFileName        lnNewWin = FrontWindow() It's possible that InNewWin is a map frame in ...

Would you mind sending me the PDF file? I'd like to try it out and get a better understanding of the behavior. Also, is it possible for you to send the data that you use to create the PDF? You can use the Workspace Packager tool to bundle up all of the necessary files (TABs, WOR, etc.)? You could ...

Hi Michel, Are you viewing this PDF in Adobe Acrobat? I'm using Adobe Acrobat Reader DC, and it has multiple display settings that can alter the appearance of your PDF file. First, you should try setting the viewing zoom to 100% / Actual size.  Next, you can alter some settings in the Edit > ...

Hi Guillaume, I would like to clarify a few things. What fix did you test?  When you opened the WOR, were all of the map frames initially within view? Or did you need to zoom out to bring the map frames into view? When you state that this workspace used to work with version 16, was it opened ...

I found a workaround. If the frames are initially within view when the WOR is opened, they seem to draw fine. So I changed the layout view to "fit" the entire layout in view and saved to a WOR. Now when I open that WOR, all of the frames show the content. Is it possible to save the WORs so that ...

Hi Guillaume, This appears to be a redraw issue. I can duplicate the problem, even using MapInfo Pro 16.0.3. I am running Windows 10 1709. What OS are you using? You can try running "winver". Did you state this runs correctly on Windows 7? The frame and image is still there. What I noticed ...

Thanks! I will take a look and let you know what I find out. In the meantime, can you tell me if either you or the end-user is using MapInfo Pro Advanced (Raster)? Is it possible that one of you is using Advanced and the other is not? ------------------------------ Alicia Levesque Pitney ...

Craig, I am attaching a simple WOR that I created. It contains a Layout with a Map frame with a single layer. This world layer is 75% translucent (alpha=63). Here is a snippet from my WOR showing the map window creation and the Enhanced Rendering and Alpha settings: Map From WORLD Position ...

Hi Craig, As mentioned earlier, you definitely need Enhanced Rendering to be On when using translucency/alpha. But you said that has already been set. A layout that has a map frame will actually have 2 "windows". You will have one window for the layout and one for the map frame. Can you confirm ...

If possible, can you use the Workspace Packager tool to bundle up your WOR, TABs, etc? If you cannot send data, could you at least attach a screenshot of your map(s) and layout(s)? ...

Hi, The 64-bit version of the Layout also has the support. "View Actual Size" is the same as setting the layout zoom to 100%.
