Hi Everybody,
I'm having a really difficult time importing some AutoCAD
files into MapInfo. When I try to directly import them I get a DXF error
message. Then I can pull them out and split them into layers and thus import
them but then I run into a second wave of problems with setting the
projection and coordinates.
The people who have supplied the data really don't know a
lot about it all we have is that it is a Lambert projection. I have tried
running it with the equal area proportion option for Australia and through a
process of trial and error have got the maps to sit frustratingly close to
our comparison maps but it seem still sits slightly rotated off so that even
if you get the four coordinate points to match perfectly the maps are out of
alignment at the corners.
Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do from here?
Thanks,
Percy
