  • 1.  Unable to edit layer in MapInfo Pro

    Posted 10-21-2022 06:18
    Hi,

    I am able to edit shapefiles on my MapInfo, but the same shapefile or any other shapefile, while trying to edit on our prospect customer system, the editing tool is not getting enabled and cannot perform any modification tasks. This is part of PoC for positioning MapInfo and gain trust from prospect customer.

    Request to kindly inform possibilities, which is not enabling editing tool for updating/modifying/creating a feature. Is this may be thing related to IT security level or number of features that a layer contains stopping from performing editing.

    Shall be thankful in giving your suggestions or ideas.

    Hi

    ESRI Shape files - I'm assuming that is the format you are referring to - can only be edited in MapInfo Pro if they have been opened as Vector Files (OGR) format.

    If you select ESRI Shape Files from the list of file types, the table will be read-only in MapInfo Pro

    Can this explain what you are seeing?

    Hi Peter,
