What makes MapInfo Pro better than other maps?
MapInfo Pro is fast. It uses spatial indexing as well as tabular indexing to speed up tabular (non-map) and map queries. It also has a truly superior ability to align coincident maps on screen on-the-fly, even if the map layers have dramatically different map projections and coordinates.
Why does MapInfo take so much time to draw?
MapInfo spends energy drawing an entire map region or other feature even if only one small part of it is in view. This is particularly noticeable with MapX and MapXtreme, when drawing highly-complex region shapes with 10’s of thousands of nodes. For best re-draw speed]
What’s the best way to copy data from MapInfo?
Copy the data to your local disk. It’s convenient to be able to open and map tables opened in native XLS, Text, Shapefile, Access, RDBMS or other formats. But processing is significantly faster in MapInfo’s native DAT format.
How to use fastedit in MapInfo Pro-SgSI?
By turning FastEdit ON, you command MapInfo to skip the transaction file and make all changes directly to the master table. Use the MapBasic window to issue this command: FASTEDIT setting apply to a single table. Issue separate commands for faster editing with multiple tables. Without a transaction file, you lose the option to Revert your edits.
You can use MapInfo’s Object processing menu to, for example, remove coincident nodes or generalize the region edges. Warning: ‘Thinning’ can create data problems if you have adjacent regions that are generalized differently. Thinning can also change your query results, because it changes the literal shape of the edge.
Can you modify table structure in MapInfo Professional?
I suspect the table is read only (probably because of table joins) – can you try File>save copy as… to create a fresh table and then open the new table and re-trying your steps for re-ordering the columns? – MarkSep 11 ’14 at 15:30 Add a comment | 3 Answers 3 ActiveOldestVotes 1
