Introduction
The Assetic Addin for MapInfo Pro is used to provide a set of ribbon buttons for MapInfo Pro users to initiate integration to Assetic.
It is available as a zipped file below:
Note: You may need to right click and 'Save As' to download.
Addin Files
There are 2 main files associated with the addin.
- AsseticAddin.mbx
- AsseticAddin.py
There is also a folder "py_addin_util" with python utility files to support the main "AsseticAddin.py" file
AsseticAddin.mbx
AsseticAddin.mbx is a MapInfo Pro executable file created using MapBasic.
This executable is registered in MapInfo as per the instructions on the Pitney Bowes (Precisely) website: Adding, registering and running a tool in MapInfo Pro
The source code for this executable is available on request.
AsseticAddin.py
AsseticAddin.py is called by the MapBasic code upon startup of MapInfo Pro. It must have the same name as the addin (i.e. AsseticAddin.mbx), and reside in the same folder as AsseticAddin.mbx
This script is responsible for adding a new 'Assetic' tab to the MapInfo Pro ribbon and creating buttons within that 'Assetic' tab. The buttons are used to initiate the integration processes.
Install Assetic Addin
1. Ensure that the assetic_mapinfo python package is installed in MapInfo Pro. Ensure the package is installed correctly since the addin will fail to load if it is unable to initiate the assetic_mapinfo package.
2. Extract files from the zipped file "assetic-mapinfo_addin.zip" to a folder accessible to MapInfo Pro. Do not change the file structure of the extracted files.
3. Register the AsseticAddin.mbx file in MapInfo Pro as per the article on the Pitney Bowes (Precisely) website: Adding, registering and running a tool in MapInfo Pro
