Mappers,
I was findng that the Vertical Mapper import ASCII grid wasn't working as
expected; i.e., it would do it and solicited other suggestions as to how to
get from Arc Grid to VM. Perhaps a niche problem but I actually got more
feedback than expected.
It took 3 months but the word from Northwood Geo is that there is, or
rather was, a problem. It apparently has been fixed in version 2.5 (I have
2.2.1) so for $$$ the import is possible.
Ole Gregor offered that ASCII grid can both bee numerical and classified,
but VM only supports numerical ASCII grids. [mine is classified but uses
numeric values??]
Jacques G�linas came up with the following workaround: import the ArcInfo
grid into Surfers. If this works then save the surfer grid to
Surfers'native ASCII xyz grid format. NB, at least with the demo versions
this can be done in version 6 but not 7. There is a surfer ASCII xyz to VM
translator on the mapinfo-l archives.
Thanks to all......
