SUM-MI Thematic saving!

[David Eagle]

Jacques,

Thanks for your help...I won't be doing that again, damn annoying  all the same though! Oh well thems the breaks another angle on  the learning curve...

Thanks again, Dave.

Heres a SUM for all

Problem: After selecting polylines by mouse-pick method I then  applied a ranges theme to them and saved my workspace. When I  opened the .wor later I got ":102) Invalid frame id 10" errrors or  variations of this error.

It isn't just me that has had this trouble either:

Hello David,
MapInfo should be able to preserve your thematic maps in the  workspace. I've had "invalid frame" errors, but only when my  thematics were based on queries created from mouse-pick  selections. If Mapinfo has a selection statement to generate the  query it seems to do okay, at least for me (MI5.5 on NT  workstation sp3).

Solution: Jacques Paris did some testing of this and had the same  problem, listed below are his solutions apart from the obvious 'Don't  do it'

David,

I think that Pam is right. I made a thematic map of a selection of  objects,
created a layout with 2 frames (map and legend) saved the wor,  closed
everything, reopened the wor and got the same message as you  about frame 2
(the legend). As I am working with 5.5, I will say "that's it, you have  to
do with it."

Pam is also right on another point: MI can store in the wor a query,  not its
result but the "select..." generated by a query. When the wor is  open, the
results are generated by the query and anything can be done with  that
"table".

My recommendation : once you have made a selection for one set  of objects,
"save as" the selection with a new name, add the new table to your  mapper,
do the thematic on it.

Alternative: create a sql query that will pick up the objects of one  set by
their "names" and use it for thematic 1. Repeat for each group.

Good luck in your "misery"

Jacques

(Fwd) RE: MI Thematic saving!

[David Eagle]

Thanks to all those who responded to my thematic mapping/workspace 
problems this morning. As a result I've managed to edit out the reference to 
Frame id 10 in the .wor and my workspace now opens, however, 
when I was editing it I noticed no reference to the thematic layers that
I've created as part of the map (previously saved into the workspace in 
question). Consequently when I launch the .wor all of the 
traditionally saved tables open now but low and behold no themed 
layers!? Any ideas why they are not saving into the workspace? I don't 
want to shut my system down because I will lose the work and 
have to start from scratch. Very annoying!

TIA, Dave

P.s - Will sum for all...

MI Thematic saving!

Mapping Pro's out there,

Is there any way of saving thematic features (e.g. I have a ranged 
thematic map), as a separate table? I think the problem of 
"workspace trouble" in my last mail stems from the fact that I am 
only saving the thematic layers within a workspace environment 
and not as separate entities...For some reason when I try to open 
my .wor the thematic layers are no longer there. If I can save them 
as layers (*.tab) there won't be a problem!
