When you look at fixing it, also check files that start with numbers, and columns that have spaces or start with numbers. MapInfo insert an underscore when there is a space in the name and when a file or column name start with a number.

Hi Ian,

This was fairly easy to reproduce, just attempting to open a TAB file with spaces in the filename seems to do the trick. It seems to be an issue with bot the V8 XM Edition and V8i versions of Bentley Map.

Sounds like something that needs to be fixed.

The work around is an obvious one: remove the spaces from the filename and the import should work.

Cheers,

Gijsbert

The polygon problem seems to have gone, I opened the file this morning and it has worked fine.

The spaces in file names will either cause Bentley Map to crash (and generate an error report), or I sometime get this dialog.

Hi Ian,

On the polygon fill... are these 'plain' polygon features created with Bentey Map. Any way you can share an example of this, e.g. on the file section of the BE Communities.

On the import of MapInfo ... that sounds like an issue that we should look into in more detail. What exactly is happening. If you open a MapInfo file with spaces, does it not show up in the Interoperability dialog? Or does it show up but the import does not work as expected?

Cheers,

Gijsbert
