RE: Moving Map Window embedded scalebar closer to Map Window frame

Hi Jason I would certainly use the scalebar available with the Layout - it is far more flexible than the older scalebar embedded in the Map Window. Especially if your Insets are only 5cm wide! ------------------------------ John Ievers CDR Group Limited Hope Valley, United Kingdom ------------ ...

Hi Finlay MapInfo always strongly supports backward compatibility with old table formats. Not sure what you mean about "customised styles" - you have more options now.

Hi Tom I have offered my feedback to w3w along these lines too. It has already gained significant public adoption and the mobile phone app is still free to use.

Update on the What3Words tool: As of 1st August 2024, the what3words Free API plan no longer offers the ability to make convert-to-coordinate requests (the function that enables you to search what3words addresses and convert them to their equivalent GPS coordinates).

Hi Tom https became a thing in version 2019.3 onwards. Which version are you running? Is this a case of selecting the Browser Tab? i.e. is the Explorer Window the active Window.

Hi Giselle In your scenario, you would need to send the theme template as well. Found in your User Data folder similar to C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\MapInfo\MapInfo\Professional\2300\ThmTmplt\MyGeology.thm However, perhaps a better option would be to save the theme with the table's metadata. ...
