We purchased some street (and rivers, boundaries) data for
Asuncion , Paraguay. It is a product from DGEEC called:
"Asuncion Capitol Cartografia Digital Censal 1998"
and it came in PC ARC/INFO format. We have ARC/INFO
7.0.4 (but of course we mostly use MapInfo) so I converted
it to AI 7 coverages using a tool from esri.com, then kicked
it to AI export files and used MI's arclink_map sun utility
to create tab's.
The data is in KM's and is UTM (datum WGS) but when it
comes into MI it is non-earth and it thinks the KM's are
meters.
I tried adding this line to the MapInfoW.prj but it's not
working out...
"UTM Zone 21, Northern Hemisphere (WGS 84)\p32621", 8, 104, 7, -57, 0,
0.9996, 500000, 0
"UTM Zone 21, Southern Hemisphere (WGS 84)\p32721", 8, 104, 7, -57, 0,
0.9996, 500000, 10000000
"UTM Zone 21, Southern Hemisphere (WGS 84)in KM for Asuncion\p32721", 8,
104, 1, -57, 0, 0.9996, 500, 10000
notice I changed the 7 to a 1 for KM and took three zeros
off each farthing. I assume I should open the Asuncion files
and do a save copy as specifying this projection.
When I then go to open it using the world country file off the
MI CD as a backdrop and do View Entire Layer asuncion tab
NOTHING appears, and as I zoom out I'm somewhere just off
the west african coast but far from South America.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks is advance!
