MI Converting Non-Earth N & E to a proper Projection N & E

[Steve McCrone]

Hi   My question was: >   Hello Mappers:  I have some vector (say polylines) data that was saved >using:  Non-Earth m, Bounds -1000000000, -1000000000, 1000000000, >10000000000. This  was done since the PRJ file did not contain the >appropriate projection  parameters. & N is displayed.  The appropriate RSO >projection parameters have been added to the PRJ file and  now I wish to >convert all of the existing data (in Non-Earth) to RSO. & N  from each node >and stores them into an ASCII file. I then import these  coordinates into >MI and generate lines from the points. I also could write some  MB code to >create the new tables. Is there a simpler way of doing this? Perhaps >without getting into MB  programming at all. I am working in MapInfo 5.0 >and MapBasic 4.1.2.  Thanks     The solution is:   Save the file out as a MIF, and then edit the MIF header. Add the correct projection parameters to the header. Then read the MIF back into MI.
