TopoFusion on other OS - Mac / Linux / Re: TF requires insert key to add waypoints - how to do this on MacBook Pro?

« on: September 05, 2012, 05:15:36 PM »

  NOPE, I've tried every combination of function keys to get the insert function to work, including hooking up a PC key board - but none of it works.Many of the other functions (if not all minus one) work, but without the insert key I'm pretty much hosed on editing existing trails.

And frankly I haven't found any decent programs out there that come close to the simplicity and grace with which TF works. Someone buy the creator a Mac so he'll be motivated to solve this issue....

The only way I've been able to overcome the missing insert key issue is to use an external keyboard. Otherwise, no one seems to have cracked this problem - especially as it is keyboard (not OS) specific. Jim Thayer

TopoFusion on other OS - Mac / Linux / TF requires insert key to add waypoints - how to do this on MacBook Pro?

« on: April 15, 2012, 10:40:34 PM »

I'm running TF on a Macbook Pro using VM Ware. Everything is working on TF, but I'm stymied on how to insert new waypoints. This action requires you to use the pointer and indicate a waypoint and then hit the insert key. This adds additional way points on either side of the indicated waypoint. This is very useful when adding to an existing track.

But the MacBook Pro doesn't have an insert key, and all the workarounds to simulate this function have not worked is there a way to approach this feature through a drop down menu or some other menu-driven way so that we can avoid the substantial problem of keyboard simulation (which differs for every keyboard)?

I've got Topofusion 4.22 running on VMware and everything seemed to work just fine, except then I noticed that the Mac keyboard doesn't have an insert key, and the delete key doesn't produce any response. So I am effectively unable to some of the essential functions like cutting tracks, or inserting more points, etc. Any idea how I can emulate the Insert and delete functions on the MacBook Pro keyboard?

Archived Support / Problems with version 3

« on: February 17, 2007, 05:23:12 PM »

Recently upgrade to Topofusion Pro version 3 and am expereincing some difficulties with at least two features:
1. 3D function only displays thin "ribbon" of map. Previous version showed full map and allowed movement using the blue ball. This is no longer possible. This feature no longer usable.
2. The "select points" function no longer shows a rectangle that defines area covered. It flickers, but disappears. Those point that would have been inside the box are still activated (and deleted) bu the box itself is no longer visible during the use of this function.

Is it possible to revert to the previous version?

Archived Support / Access Violation-Make Network

« on: May 03, 2005, 10:23:45 PM »

I read this post today, as I was having exactly the same issues. I was reassembling a single loop from a series of walks that covered much of the same ground. So I had to cut out lots of duplicate tracks resulting in occaisional breaks in the original loop. Before using the "make network" to stitch these segements into one continuous loop, I went back to make sure that no lines intersected. All the segments were touching, and there were not cross-over points. But still "make network" barfed, as described in the previous posts. Something is too unstable in this function...

Archived Support / Moving track points

« on: March 26, 2005, 12:03:22 PM »

Simple question. Am reconciling track data against aerial pix. This involves moving track point to align with visible roads. But when i try using the arrow function it merely creates a new segment. Sure you can achieve the desired results but you end up having to cut the misaligned data, and it's not clear that the newly "moved" data is continuous, or not.

BTW, I also don't see the profiler button on the tool bar???
