Hi Frank, It's probably more a question of what you set as projection for the otherwise projection-less DWG file.
MIPro will definitely truncate all data values outside the bounds to sit on the bounds rectangle. E.g. if you enters projected meters as degrees, the narrow degrees bounds will "destroy" your data, rendering everything on top of each other, flattened on the border. You might wanna translate into MIF instead, and browse the top of the MIF to see what's going on. Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
