It's a legitimate download from the Precisely website.  MILSTED is a really old tool.  It was created by one of our former partners in Ukraine many years ago. The source code is no longer available, as the company no longer exists, so it can't be updated and would need to be completely rebuilt from scratch.  ...

The status bar settings are window dependent - meaning its different for each of the document windows.  Right now, this setting as a Map preference is not available, only just as a Map Option when map is in focus.  When the Map Option is changed, the command: 'Set Map Display Position' is issued.  This ...

MapBasic 21.0 download has source code for a tool provided under: \Samples\MAPBASIC\RasterSeam Tool should be included with next release, but you can use it now by compiling and linking the project file for an earlier x64 version if needed. Basically it will ask you to point to a folder of your *.tif ...

Just updated SyncWindows for handling for handling of embedded legends in Current Map Windows.  These are only session changes done by the SyncWindows tool.  If you want them permanently removed you need to Save Workspace\SaveWokspace As... as stated earlier.

I did not change behavior for removing legend from Current Window. it was still same as before. I can use same logic for removing embedded legends from all windows. As for a new session of MIPro this would only change if user saves a workspace. SyncWindows tool only changes these during the session. ...

Try this out and let me know.  Needed to restore some old code to check for embedded theme legend windows that was omitted when tool was updated for new UX only.  For several versions MIPro x64 did not support embedded theme legend windows until v2019.  This fix for SyncWindows should do the trick.  ...

Is there any information with the GridRefMapper tool on its creator?  A help file or link?  Probably needs to have some code changes to make it work in x64, perhaps there is a hard-coded path in this tool that no longer exists. Perhaps if the creator could be contacted they may be able to make the changes ...

Hi Jim.  I am able to toggle between those map preference options.  Not sure why you are not able to other than having a corrupted MapInfoPro.pref on your Roaming Appdata folder for MIPro 2100 perhaps. I am not familiar with this ToggleMoveDupNodes tool.  Is this something you created, or do you have ...

They are two different issues.  The Tool icon in ribbon for Universal Transalator makes a simple call in MUT.MBX to 'Run Program fmequicktranslator.exe'.

KML is a very inefficient format for large files, numerous objects, etc.  It's really meant for quick displays in Google Earth.  If it truly has to be in KML format, then you'll need to start combining objects (Combine by Column) and aggregating data so you're basically dissolving smaller objects with ...
