User Map Library calibration info
« on: February 04, 2009, 11:59:53 PM »
I need a way to transfer the calibration info for several files in the User Map Library between computers. I have a lot of maps that I have calibrated in Topofusion on my work laptop that I will eventually need to be able to work with on my (newer) personal laptop. I can not find any way to do this. I had thought that there would be a file storing all the map calibrations that I could simply copy over and then force to be used on the different computer (maybe with manual editing of the file pathnames). Generally speaking I keep the map files on a jump for easy transferability between systems. Is this currently possible or not? I dread the thought of having to do all the calibrations over again.

You can transfer the info over, it'll just take some manual editing of files.

All the calibration data is in the TopoFusion.ini file (which if you've had TopoFusion for more than a few months should be in C:\Program Files\TopoFusion).

Open that file (in notepad, it's a text file), and find the section prefaced by [User Maps].  Copy everything up to the next [] header (it's [CustomWMS] in my file).  The pathnames are there and obvious so you can edit those there, too.

Hope that helps.  Shouldn't take too long to get all the data transfered.  In the future we'll have an easier way to export / import calibration data.

Thanks.
