Hello Martin, If one of your tables is in Gauss-Krueger, simply issue the following command in Pro's MapBasic window:
set coordsys table YourTable This tells Pro to present coordinates in the form used by "YourTable". Objectgeography(), centroidx/y() and other coordinate yielding functions will now give you coordinates in the correct reference system.

Hi, I try to get a layers bounding box using the statements: * TableInfo(table, TAB_INFO_MINX) etc or * MBR(...) together with ObjectGeography(obj, OBJ_GEO_MINX) etc. However, the values of these functions seem to be the decimal longitude/latitude, but my map-coordinates are in Gauss-Krueger. Does anybody know how to get a bounding box in coordinate system of the queryed layer? Thanks!
