Re: Make Data Source Local

Thanks for the explanation, that sounds like a good justification for writing the AREAs locally. I think my suggestion of running background scripts to write the AREAs might be the easiest solution for this, especially if you want things to run without much user interaction of if you plan on updatin...

Re: Make Data Source Local

Hello, There is no simple way of doing what you are suggesting. Is there any reason why you need the AREAs locally and can't work directly off of the remote server/dataset? Please note that the advice below might be useful if you have familiarity with Python scripting, especially in McIDAS-V. If I u...

Re: Make Data Source Local

Hello, This seems to work on Windows 10, but I replicated your error on macOS. I wrote this up as inquiry 2995 . I did find a way to get this working though. Here are the steps: Load your data source as normal. Display your data as normal. In the Layer Controls tab of the Data Explorer, select "...

Re: How do I customise Default Background Maps?

Hi Yunus, I'm replicating the problem of the map lines being hidden behind the data using a 2D map panel if I zoom in close enough to the data. Zoomed out, the map lines appear on top of the data for me. I wrote this up as inquiry 2993 . Sometimes this can happen in standard 3D map display panels as...

I added mention of your workaround ...

When loaded through ADDE, McIDAS-V uses a parameter default to display the data with a range of 180 - 320K. You can see statistical information about the data obj...
