Hi Chris, My suggestion is: Export to MIF, add am appropriate TRANSFORM clause below the COORDSYS ditto in the MIF file, and re-import. All the coordinates will be recalculated according to the added transformation, without the projection being touched/changed.
The format of the clause is: TRANSFORM Xmultiplier, Ymultiplier, Xdisplacement, Ydisplacement Unused entries are given as 0 (zero, yes even unused multipliers!). E.g. reverse X values => TRANSFORM -1,0,0,0 E.g. from kilometers to meters: TRANSFORM 1000,1000,0,0 E.g. move (0,0) to (500,-6000): TRANSFORM 0,0,500,-6000 In your case you'd probably need to enter some multipliers, and perhaps also a displacement. Note that multipliers are applied before displacements. I.e. (10,10) TRANSFORM 2,2,3,3 => (23,23) See appendix A in the MIPro Reference for a description (or is that different these days?).
