Delete All Columns After Specific Column

Is there a way to delete all columns in a table after a specified column name? I have a table named Locations and want to delete every column that exists after a column named Lead_lengt. Another way to consider it is Lead_lengt is column #162, is there a way to delete all after that column #? -- ...

Yes, we are on build 33.  The warning went away later in the day, or the next day.  The certificate must have not been updated in time, but all is good now. ------------------------------ Jim ------------------------------

RE: Text Frame in Legend Doesn't Show Up In Layout

Thanks Peter. I will send a message to support. It seems that if it was a design decision, then the option to add a text frame would have been removed from the legend designer. This way, you would no longer have the option to enter text there. We do everything we can in the legend, so that if we ever ...

Text Frame in Legend Doesn't Show Up In Layout

We often need to put text in our legends, to give additional info.  This has always shown up in layouts in the old v15 32bit.  We are noticing now in v21.1 build 33, that any text frame added to a legend, does not get included with the legend when the map is added to a layout.  Is there a trick we are ...

RE: Combine different polygons to create a single one

All of your polygons need to be on the same layer as well, or you can't select them all at the same time.  Which is part of what Peter said above. ------------------------------ Jim ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Original Message: Sent: 10-21-2022 03:33 ...

Raph, When setting up your Drivetime Regions, did you click on More Options, right under Theme?  In there, the first option is to set Overlapping Regions off or on. ------------------------------ Jim ------------------------------ ------------------------------------------- Original Message: ...

RE: Updating CSV point layers with new points

Posted By Jim Coleman 08-12-2022 08:14
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
You need to be making your changes in MapInfo, in the tab file now, not in the csv.  Otherwise, you have to import the csv again and create new points, overwriting the old file, then setup your labels all over again.  Labels are tied to rowid's, so removing rows outside of MapInfo will cause that to ...

Layered PDF Doubles Translucency on Basemap

After testing v2021.1 & Site Mapper batch printing, I have started upgrading my team from v15.  The 2nd, 3rd & 4th computer I installed on, I noticed a big difference in printing maps that had Bing Hybrid turned on, same for any basemap.  If there was any translucency turned on (we do that so our work ...

Actually, if the options are set to Never or Always, the grid doesn't show up.  If it is set to Optimized, that's when it shows up.  Right clicking on the layer and setting map projection from layer cleans it up. ------------------------------ Jim ------------------------------

Bing Tile Anomaly

I am having an issue with Bing imagery if I have vector layers open in v2021.1 before opening Bing.  If I have files open, then open Bing Hybrid (or others) and set translucency to say 55% to lighten it up, I get a strange grid displaying in it.  The grid changes with zoom level.  If I add the imagery ...

RE: Move Duplicate Nodes in v2021.1

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Ok, I've tracked it down to a line item in the wor code.  The old wor has a line in Set Map that says Move Nodes 1.  If I comment it out, everything works and I can manually toggle it in options.  This seems to be a remnant of the ToggleMoveDupNodes toold in the 32 bit version.  It's interesting that ...

Thanks for the follow up Bill.  I have done some additional testing and it seems to work fine, until I open a workspace from an older version of MapInfo.  I will keep checking and try to find out what the exact trigger is.   I did not create the ToggleMoveDupNodes tool, but I do have the source code ...

Does anyone else have an issue in v2021.1 where you cannot toggle move duplicate nodes in the same layer on or off through Options/Map Window?  I can load the legacy tool ToggleMoveDupNodes.mbx and it works fine.  The problem is that tool crashes as soon as you try to create a new tab group for a browser.  ...
