Feature Style Errors

[global_mapper]

I've fixed the issue with the workspace being marked as dirty immediately upon load (it was caused whenever you used attribute-based naming for a layer). I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v11.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v11 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11_64bit.zip .

I am still working on the other issue.

Thanks,

I was able to reproduce the other issue and get it fixed as well. I have placed a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11.zip with the change for you to try. Simply download that file and extract the contents into your existing v11.xx installation folder to give it a try. If you are using the 64-bit v11 version there is a new build at http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper11_64bit.zip .

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

I was expecting a fix of the workspace save issue, rather you attacked the root style issue. How you were able to find such a subtle error is beyond me. This must have been a real head scratcher, given you usually fix bugs in 10-min. I opened my massive workspace and somehow all of the few dozen style errors appear to be gone.

Thanks

BTW, did I misread your comment above? Can GM attach feature styles when opening a shapefile by Fcode, Ftype or other magic?

This was a tricky one, it was related to some new style caching stuff in v11.02 that made renders faster, but if the cached style wasn't marked as dirty when a type was changed the old style was drawn instead of the correct one. The workspace itself was fine, it was just a render error.

In answer to your other question, you can automatically style features from Shapefiles and most other vector formats that have attributes. See http://www.globalmapper.com/helpv11/...eldOptions.doc for a list of the recognized attribute names and values.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
