RE: Ordinance Survey Data - Geopackage Problems

Posted By Martin Hodder 03-27-2024 16:32
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi Ryan, I had something similar with a Geopackage. I think the MI import sets all Character fields as 256 Chars. This can really add to the size of DAT file. I exported top mif - edited the field list and imported into MI and it returned to something more manageable and performed better. Maybe ...

Hi Bob and Peter, I will look into it. The client wanted v17 but they are looking to go to 2019.3 so I can test that and see if it works. Thanks for replying ------------------------------ Martin Hodder Higher Mapping Solutions (OEM) ------------------------------

Just a quick update - The toolhandler does appear on the legacy TAB but I can't run it from code. I will have to see if there is a way to hide a button but still be able to use it! ------------------------------ Martin Hodder Higher Mapping Solutions (OEM) ------------------------------

The Old ToolHandler Routine

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro Developers User Group \ view thread
Hello Everyone, Back in the old days Mapbasic had something called toolhandler. When this subroutine was defined a button would be added to the button pads and when it was used if would fire off this toolhandler routine.  I wonder if there is an equivalent in Version 17? - I am converting old code ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for the reply as always. What I am trying to achieve is for the user to press a button and the layout gets automatically created.

Hi Everyone, Has anyone worked out how to open layout templates through Mapbasic? I can find where they are stored and the .lay seems to be the Mapbasic code to create the layout. I can of course just write the whole layout in MB but I wanted to allow the user and easy editing option through ...

Hi Stuart, It is a chargeable add-on but obviously does far more that just the allocation of districts. You can find out more from https://www.routeware.dk/routefinder6/routefinder.php    Southwark Council used to have a licence but that lapsed about 4 years again and that version would not have ...

RE: MapInfo Pro measuring help!

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hello Hannah, Your first step actually is to look at the policy for measurement from t​he authority. That will tell you if it is Home / School gate or Home/School Door or even just straight line. I don't think getting a trial of MI will help in this case as you need the roads and paths layer the council ...

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi Mike, It may not be a great option but you can remove those roads you don't want to use before and then do the calculation. You can also set those links to be avoided but you might end up with some holes in the isochrone. This can be avoided if you remove the option to keep holes. Hope that ...

Hi John,   I have played with it a bit and I think for free it is great - You can apply a style after opening. The weak area as far as I can tell is text handling - what have you done with ?that?
