Stop assuming geodesic scale based on use of map shapesWe use map shapes and background maps with wafer maps of manufacturing data. They are really valuable outside the geographic context. JMP assumes if you added a background map your data wants to be geodesic coordinates, typically resetting the axes so the data disappears entirely. This happens in X-Y but it's worse in graph builder because after you've reset it to linear it will keep going back to geodesic when you make unrelated changes to the plot - for example dragging a column over to color the data.
If the assumption is valuable maybe it could pop up once and say "hey, is "X" geodesic? I can set the axis column property to that for you!". Seems like column property is a good way to do it.
But I find that even if set that property to Linear it will switch to Geodesic when I add a background map, it doesn't seem to honor the column property on this...

Re: Stop assuming geodesic scale based on use of map shapes - Status changed to: Yes, Stay Tuned!Hello! This feature will be available in JMP 20. This update prevents assuming geodesic scale for shape files added with the background map command. If you’re an authorized JMP user, you can try it now in JMP 20 EA 1. You can request access to the program by visiting JMP.com/earlyadopter.
Re: Stop assuming geodesic scale based on use of map shapesI see it in the early adopter. Thanks! Much appreciated.
