Hi Stephen,
If you want to update a column with a coordinate in Mapinfo, wou'll first have to set the coordsystem in the Mapbasic window (allthough your map is allready in UTM). So first you open the map and open a MapBasicWindow (Options -> Show MapBasic Window) Then you type something like Set CoordSys Earth Projection 8, 28, "m", 3, 0, 0.9996, 500000, 0 Bounds (-7746230.6469, -9998287.38389) (8746230.6469, 9998287.38389) This depends on which UTM and which zone you'll use, you can see the exact statement when you export the file an look in the header of the Mif-file. IF you update the column now you'll get the UTM-Coords Marco Kok CityGIS Business Software Nassau Ouwerkerkstraat 3 2596 CC Den Haag The Netherlands Tel. +31 (0)70 - 3268215 Fax. +31 (0)70 - 3268736 -----Original Message----- From: Brown, Steve [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: vrijdag 5 oktober 2001 19:36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Display of UTM coordinates This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. I've asked this question before but I haven't had any luck yet. I have a map with a projection of Nad 83 Zone 11 and I want to display the coords of points in UTM. Right now all I get is Lat-Longs in decimal degrees. Note the projection is in UTM and when I do the update column command with centroidX(obj) it gives a lat-long coordinate. When I use the selection tool to click on the points it gives me the UTM coordinates. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Please help..
