Minor Bug - Adding Text Suffix Vector Options Dialog

Roger Edrinn
Global Mapper UserTrusted User
I wanted to add a text suffix to a Feature Name in the OCC > Options > Vector Options > Name Features Using Attribute Value > Use Multiple Attributes.
I wanted a space between the name and text suffix, neither the space option nor the custom field would add a space. I did not test any other options.
The work around was to add the attribute, then add the suffix and space with S&R.
Thought you'd like to know.

That's odd it seems to have worked for me. Can you post a workspace and data files or send them to support@globalmapper.com?
Thanks,

Just tried it again, same results.
- Download this shapefile
- Open in GM
- Open CC and delete the Roads layer
- Select the Trails layer
- Click Options
- Delete Name
- Select TRL_NO in multiple
- Type "Trail" in the suffix box
- Select Trail as Line Type
- OK
No space between TRL_NO and Trail -
Ah sorry I missed where you were using the suffix option. The separator is for between the attribute values, it doesn't apply to the prefix or suffix. If you want the space just include that in the suffix text like ' Trail'.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Thanks,
Mike

Bit embarrassed. I don't use the options setting much anymore, use scripts instead. So I forgot this subtlety.
Thanks for the reply.
