RE: Untitled *.wor

Hi Peter, Sorry I haven't been on this page for a while and just noted your reply. I haven't followed up with support at this point but may need to. This is still a constant issue with any workspace I create. At best I'll get a couple of days before the issue arises, at worst, it happens as soon as ...

Hi all, I know this is an older post but I continually have this problem with workspaces. They initially open okay (I always open MIPro then browse for my workspace) and I'll be editing data and then at some point later I'll notice my workspace has changed to Untitled.wor. No indication of when/why ...

I use both methods at times. I'll stick to opening from within MapInfo and see if that solves the problem. Cheers Mark ------------------------------ Mark McGovern Knowledge Community Shared Account ------------------------------

Further to this I note that my autosave doesn't seem to be working. I just noted that it and my backup hasn't been modified for 2 days. Is this perhaps an internal error on our network? ------------------------------ Mark McGovern Knowledge Community Shared Account ------------------------------

Hi Duri, Thanks for replying. I think you found the issue. I just checked the source file and the dwg I originally used had unbeknownst to me been renamed when another version came in from the consultant. i.e. it had v1 attached to the end. I did a new import, probably not realising that there was ...

Hi, Using the Universal Data tool I imported a dwg file into a workspace and all was working fine. This was 2 days ago and no issues including this morning. I open the workspace again (only 5 minutes after it was working fine) and all of a sudden the workspace opens with a number of errors and won't ...

Hi Alison, I'm glad you raised this issue as it is something that I've also noticed but assumed it was my poor aim with the cursor on the check box. It did seem to be happening a lot though. As I've only be using MapInfo for 6 months and upgraded to v21 a few months in, I didn't have enough experience ...

Thanks for the advice Peter. I've never used MapBasic previously but I can see it or Python is something I may have to learn. To be honest (and again I make no apologies for saying so) I'm finding it frustrating that a lot of basic functionality I had available in ESRI previously requires a lot of ...

I have just come across this old issue after having created a layout with 25 pages. Just as I thought I was done, one of my layers had disappeared from every page. First, I'm not sure how that was even possible, second I'm glad that I could reinstate the layers using the Multi Mapper Helper. It did leave ...

Hi Peter, I know this is an older article but as still a relative newbie I'm playing catchup on a lot of things. Am I correct that there is no option to start a completely new workspace other than start a new session of MapInfo? That is like say MS Word, there is no File New option? ...

RE: MapInfo Monday: Setting Styles for New Features

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Thanks Peter. The default theme option may be the way to go in the future. I'm curious to know what is best or most common practice for this i.e. saving individual styles in the table or saving as a single style and using a thematic layer to display the individual values as required. Mark ...

Thanks Peter. That's useful for someone like me adapting to MapInfo. Something that I thought would be handy is the ability to set styles based on a field value. If you have a thematic layer this works but not in the source table. In my role I've inherited a number of datasets where the styles have been ...

Thanks John. A project I'm working on currently involves moving around our municipal area updating data so it would suit for the workspace to save at the last location I was working on. I'll keep that in mind though. Thanks, Mark ------------------------------ Mark McGovern Knowledge Community ...

Hi Peter, You found the words to describe it that I couldn't. It was like the windows were there but not displaying correctly. I updated the preferences to what you indicated, then Saved Workspace As to a new file. On opening the new workspace it opened as it should. For reference I've attached ...

Hi, I'm 3 months into a new role using MapInfo Pro for the first time coming from 13 plus years as an ESRI user (and I don't make any apologies for saying I'm finding the switch frustrating) and have encountered a recent issue opening previously saved workspaces. Files I'd worked on last week in MapInfo ...
