TECHNIQUES TO CREATE WORKSPACES IN MAP INFO PROFESSIONAL Zoom Layering Close any unused tables Use multiple, named windows Any table can be searched for all attributes

regardless of indexing (newer versions) Use Workspace Packager tool

Create new folder Save workspace there Copy entire folder into ProViewer executable folder

ZOOM LAYERING Removes clutter/adds detail Color attributes Over raster Note zoom level/scale at extents , mid zoom and detail

zoomAdd second instance of tables for contextBe sure each instance is properly labeled

Page 4: Pro viewer Distributes Intelligent Maps

USE SELECT QUERIES TO ADD MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF TABLES Select * from Parcels where

ZoningCode="AG" into Farm_Zones Change style such as Green boarder if

all parcels are shown, order subsets above the base in layer control

For Zoom layering, You can add the same table multiple times, use Style Override to change attributes to fit context of zoom level

LIMITATIONS / WORKAROUNDS / CAUTIONS Can not Copy attribute data from records Can not browse selection, open browser in workspace No query capability, design in workspace Shape Files Can be used in Workspace, but must first be

opened in Mi Pro and have a TAB file (Cannot open directly in ProViewer)

Opening new tables from ProViewer will open a new mapper. Closing a table cannot be reopened as layer Find function-can confuse end user, but has same flexibility

as Mi Pro Once an object has been labeled, it cannot be

undone/erased/cleared, workaround- close and reopen the workspace.

RASTER FILES Printing can be glitchy Rasters and Thematic maps don’t play

well together Zoom Level setting can avoid redraws

by turning off when zoomed out
