RE: MI RE: grabber tool problem
Yes - snap - turn snap off and the problem is fixed. You can turn it back on again until it next happens. - another unnatural, involuntary finger movement for regular digitizers! - David Booth Senior GIS Officer Merseyside Information Service > -Original Message- > From: Ian Macey [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 13 September 2000 16:23 > To: 'Robert Brough' > Cc: MI List (E-mail) > Subject: MI RE: grabber tool problem > > Hi > I have found that this tends to occur when the snap feature is turned on. > By turning the snap feature off you are then able to pan around the window > as normal. > > -Original Message- > From: Robert Brough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2000 4:14 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: MI: grabber tool problem > > > Dear listers, We are using MapInfo 6.0 and since version 5.5. we have > noticed that occasionally the grabber tool stops working when trying to > move maps in the map window (this never seems to occur in the layout > window).

MI Re: grabber tool problem
Robert, I have had this problem in MI 5.5. Don't know why it does it. Only thing I do is click on a different tool and then click on the grabber again. This usually gets the grabber working again.

MI RE: grabber tool problem
Robert, We've noticed this problem here too. It started when MapInfo introduced "snap persistence", as I call it. Before v5.5, if you had node snapping enabled and switched to the pan/grabber tool, snapping would be disabled. You'd have to switch to a different tool and hit the S key again to re-enable node snapping. Version 5.5 fixed this problem, and now when you switch to the pan tool snapping is still enabled. But there seems to be a bug in the bug fix, because the problem you described sometimes occurs when you have snapping enabled and try to use the pan tool. This bug only seems to occur when snapping is enabled. I've never seen it happen when snapping was turned off.

MI RE: grabber tool problem
Hi I have found that this tends to occur when the snap feature is turned on. By turning the snap feature off you are then able to pan around the window as normal. -Original Message- From: Robert Brough [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2000 4:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI: grabber tool problem Dear listers, We are using MapInfo 6.0 and since version 5.5. we have noticed that occasionally the grabber tool stops working when trying to move maps in the map window (this never seems to occur in the layout window).
