RE: Refresh of the new Layer Filter option

Posted By Darren White 11-23-2022 03:22
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi Bob, The lack of the filter being refreshed is the crux of the issue. From a users perspective, anything that is set in the layer properties dialog is usually instantly reflected on the layer, so it would be reasonable to expect the filter to work in the same way. The only hint it behaves differently ...

RE: Show Legend

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi Bill, The updated tool still misbehaves a bit.  On selecting remove the legend from the current window, it behaves as before i.e., the legend reappears when zooming or panning. When selecting remove from all windows it does disappear permanently, but only for that session, when MapInfo is ...

We have just moved from v17 to v2021.1 and have experienced this. In our case it appears to be related to the Sync Windows tool, as having it loaded causes the legend to appear, even when not actually syncing. This tool also has embedded legend controls similar to those in the Legend Manager Tool, which ...

RE: WFS connection refresh

Apologies Nick, my misunderstanding.  Those settings appear to be stored in the users profile in an XML file that is created the first time the Web Services are opened, and seems to persist until MapInfo is closed.  Think it would need a button adding to re-evaluate, which would be useful. ------ ...

RE: MapInfo 2021 functions - zoom/pan spatial commands grayed out

Hi Ryan, I would be interested in the outcome please as we are about to deploy v2021 b197 to our 140 users. I'm also curious whether the insert tools on the Map tab are greyed out too as these don't have the MapCAD additions. Regards Darren ------------------------------ Darren White Derbyshire ...

Making DBMS Table Mappable

Posted By Darren White 08-13-2020 05:54
Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
When making a database object mappable using MapInfo it writes the number of rows to the Mapcatalog table.  As these tables are volatile this is causing any new records subsequently added to not be displayed. Easyloader doesn't write the number of rows when uploading via that. The only work-around ...

RE: Whats the road track for improving responsiveness of iframe embedded SSA maps?

Found In Egroup: Spectrum Spatial (SSA/LIM) \ view thread
We've noticed the same thing in the latest version too, possibly due to the side panels having a minimum width.   We're also finding that any long pieces of text in a custom template are 'word wrapped' and splits text half-way through words, no matter how I set the justification: Forty percent ...

RE: Adding some new roads to my Highways

Found In Egroup: MapInfo Pro \ view thread
Hi Mike, Further to Neena's response above, you will need to ensure the node in your original highway network that you are connecting your new road to is a start / end node. If you connect the new road to a node that is not a start or end node then RouteFinder won't be able to route using the junction. ...

Template Designer 2018.2 - On-click Coordinates

Found In Egroup: Spectrum Spatial (SSA/LIM) \ view thread
Can someone advise if it is still possible to capture the on-click coordinates from Analyst? In version 12.1 we have templates that use the captured coordinates to populate web forms and query URL's.  For this I used the (coord.x) & ( coord.y) function. Is there an equivalent in 2018.2? ...

Business Maps Opacity in Analyst 2018.2

Found In Egroup: Spectrum Spatial (SSA/LIM) \ view thread
Hi, We have recently upgraded to 2018.2 and I can't see where to set the opacity / transparency of the business maps in the Project Settings.  Is this still an option? We don't want to have to go into the project's xml file and adjust the values in there, as Analyst does still honour the settings ...

Bill I understand it is supported but I am looking for some support to get started. I was the only GIS person here for 4 years and now I have help!

Custom Templates for MRR Grids

In SSA 12.1 when clicking on a grid overlay the default template simply says ‘Grid Cell Value’.  Is it possible to use a custom template as I wish to include a link to an external metadata document, and to also highlight the fact the value is derived and not absolute as it is for our public facing ...

Dave – Thank you for the information. That is all I can really ask is to let others know if they want to work together. While MapInfo is a very solid product, the recruiting of new people is tough.. Does PB offer educational discounts? The advent of Charter Schools might be a great place to push this ...
