RE: Extracting bounded coordinates from MapInfo.

We have bounded layers and the coordinates are in Lats and Longs to 8 and 7
decimal places.

To extract the coordinates using commands in the MapBasic windows or under MBX
control to 8 and 7 decimal places you must,

set coordsys TABLE BoundedTabName

where BoundedTabName = an open layer with the bounds set.

If you open a single bounded layer in MapInfo and

set coordsys WINDOW frontwindow()

MapInfo does not set the coordsys to the bounds as I would have expected and you
will only extract 6 decimal places on your coordinates.  It would appear that
even though all the layers in a Map window are bounded except the cosmetic
layer, the coordsys of the window is unbounded.


Merry Christmas and good luck with the Xmas shopping.
