This sounds strange to me. Which calculation method do you use ? Spherical or 
Cartesian ?

Normally the spherical area will be approx. 0.5 % smaller than the cartesian area.

Have you made sure that the length of the side in the region are exactly 100 meter 
when imported into MapInfo ? How do you import it into MapInfo ?

Subject: MI-L Area between CAD and MapInfo


Friends  
  
I have a great inconvenience regarding the way in that MapInfo calculates the area of 
objects regions. In an ambient CAD we have a squared object or rectangle of 10000 m2 
or 1 hectare, when it is imported in MapInfo with the wanted spherical projection (UTM 
PSAD 56 Zone 18 South) the resulting area is bigger in 39 m2, being this too big 
difference. Is my consultation as MapInfo it calculates the area? which is the it 
formulates used in this I calculate?, this because when it is changed to Cartesian 
system, the area between CAd and MapInfo is the same  
  
I expect your help
