Dear Listers,

I am having the following problem.

I have some location map in Smallworld.
if you take any point on the map say a location

the non earth coordinates (default in Smallworld) is

x=4314567678mm

the Lat long is 77.13 E and 13.21 N (India polyconic)

Now i am importing some locations from Mapinfo to Smallworld. In Mapinfo the
data is in lat long (India polyconic).
i am converting this map to a non earth mm map by
saving a copy as with the new non earth mm projection (is this the correct
way to convert ?)

after converting the same point in Mapinfo also (ie. 77.13 E and 13.21 N
(India polyconic)) is now converted to

x= 8629346777mm. it has nearly doubled in Mapinfo from that of Smallworld

Now when i am importing it to smallworld. it is giving out of bounds in
Smallworld as the x and y has increased in mapinfo.

Where is the mistake i am doing ? during conversion to Non earth from lat
long ?

why the same point in Smallworld and Mapinfo have diffrent non earth
positions but having the same lat long position ?

please help

Anirban
