This is not a bug. As I wrote before, BASE uses a numeric coordinate system. It can't know that the importer converted the coordinates from some other coordinate system. > Obviously i could afterwards > run a perl script on the exported file to get the appropriate > conversion.

What you can do if you don't want to use the perl script is to create an export plugin to do the conversion for you. See http://base.thep.lu.se/chrome/site/doc/development/index.html#plugins for more information. /Nicklas > Please also find the screenshot of the bug while exporting wells from > the plates. > > Thanks again and congratulation for the software.
