Shape and dbf files

All the files in the maps folder are formatted “pdf”. If a shape or dbf is saved as a .jmp it is converted to a pdf. Please help!

Re: Shape and dbf files

Hi,

Is it possible that you linked the jmp and dbf extension to a PDF reader such as Acrobat?

 

If it is the case, this article may help:

Here are the map files for JMP 15 that are written during the install.  The default location is:

     C:\Program Files\SAS\JMP\15\Maps

or

     C:\Program Files\SAS\JMPPRO\15\Maps

Here is the listing from that map folder

What folder are you trying to save your map files too?

Are you running Windows 10?

Thank you

Somehow all of the files in the map folder are displayed as PDF and not Jmp files. If a jmp file is placed in the folder by pasting it converts to a PDF.

Re: Shape and dbf files

That apparently was the problem. 

Thank you very much. I should have posed the problem a week ago.

Thank you again.
