MapInfo Pro installs with more tools than are shown on the Register tab in the Tools Manager.

To register more of the tools that are supplied with your MapInfo Pro installation:

  1. On the HOME tab, in the Tools group, click Tool Extensions.
  2. Click Options on any of the tabs and then click Run Program to open the Run MapBasic Program dialog box.

    By default, this dialog box opens to the Tools folder where MapInfo Pro is installed (for example, C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional\Tools).

  3. Scroll through the list of tools to find the one you want to add, select it, and click Open.

    Valid tools have a .MBX extension on their file names.

    Note: There are tools that are not stored in the Tools directory but rather in their own directory. You can search for an .MBX file using this same procedure.
  4. Follow the steps under Running a Tool.
