Thanks to everyone, replys keep on coming, problem set. Stop please. Open the table you are using in that UTM Coordinate system Open the MapBasic window Type in: Set CoordSys <tablename> <Hit Enter> Then update the table
MapInfo has a MapBasic Coordinate system that is set by default to Long\Lat. The command above sets it to the Coordinate system used by the table. You can also type in the full Coordinate system statement like this example: Set CoordSys Earth Projection, 8, 104, "m", -81, 0, 0.9996, 500000, 10000000 Which will set the MapBasic Coordinate system to UTM zone 18 south (WGS84). -------------------------- Original question: hi there I am updating a point table with the centroidX and centroidY. The table = projection is UTM SAD 69, how ever the results stored after the update = are in lat/long degrees and not UTM meters as expected. Any one know if those resulting coords are in the same datum but in = degrees or the centroid funtion calculates by default on a given = datum/projection?
