Dear Rick, Un-check the "Auto-set Projection" option, which is found under the "Projections" menu item in the main display window. Best Wishes, Unidata IDV Support > Thanks for the prompt reply, the instructions worked, but, with a small bug. > The script runs just as the original did up to the point where the first auto > update occurs. Once the first "new" image is fetched the zoom level, center > point and map projection background are all changed. The map projection is no > longer aligned to true north, which gives an apparent "tilt" to the outline > of the Nevada national Security Site (NNSS). I can easily readjust the zoom > level and re-center the display, any subsequent updates do not change the > display (that’s a good thing). But I don’t seem to be able to realign the map > projection (a minor inconvenience). My goal is to use this display in our > weather operations center as a briefing tool, so I'd like to work the map > projection issue out, if possible and only if it's not too involved. > > V/r > Rick L. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Unidata IDV Support [mailto:address@hidden] > Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2012 1:55 PM > To: address@hidden > Cc: address@hidden > Subject: [IDV #BFJ-703244]: Setting an exisiting bundle to auto update > > Dear Rick, > > What you are looking for can easily be achieved.
