Good morning all, i am trying to work out how to get the mapinfo (mapinfo_extended, MITAB or MAPINFO) writer to output a .ind file.

 

when writing to mapinfo i get dat, id, map and tab but not ind file.

 

with the MITAB i have made sure that build optimal spatial index is YES but there appers to be no option for any of the mapinfro witters to produce a index file.

 

cheers

Hi @qmangaming

In the Writer Feature Type Parameters dialog, under User Attributes, you need to select 'Indexed' against an attribute. You may need to make the dialog a little bigger to see the Index option.

This will generate an .ind file when writing out your .tab file.
