MapInfo Extended TAB Writer Feature Type Parameters

To access feature type parameters, click the gear icon on a feature type in the workspace to open the Feature Type Parameter Editor. To always display the editor in Workbench, you can select View > Windows > Parameter Editor.

General

All feature types share similar General parameters, including the Feature Type Name, Reader or Writer Name, and Geometry.
