Hi S�ren, Well I guess this is the typical Danish problem of having data with coordinates in the Danish System 34/45 and importing the data into a table that is using NonEarth, eg. No projection.
So solve it export the table to MIF/MID and replace the projection line in the MIF file with the correct one: System 34 Jylland/Fyn: CoordSys Earth Projection 21, 28, "m", 9, 0, 0.9996, 500000, 0 System 34 Sj�lland (I guess this is the one you are using): CoordSys Earth Projection 22, 28, "m", 9, 0, 0.9996, 500000, 0 If this doesn't solve the problem, then you could use the Vector Registration tool that came with MapInfo 7.5. This tool lets you specify 3 points in the "locale" map and 3 reference points in the "global" map and then it transforms the locale data to fit the globale data using an affine transformation. Unfortunately the transformation only allows 3 (!!) orientation points. And if this isn't good enough I can tell you that COWI some years ago developed a tool called VisualHelmert which lets you do the exact same thing using a Helmert transformation. This tool is still for sale ;-) Peter Horsb�ll M�ller GIS Developer Geographical Information & IT COWI A/S Odensevej 95 DK-5260 Odense S.

Hi list, I have received a drawing in DWG format. I translated it with Universal Translator (tried different settings...) There are no real attributes after translation, only one col, "autocad_elevation" with all values equals -9 Even text objects are records and obviously converted in that ***** system. Well, that's not the main problem :-) The drawing is based on data, that I've supplied myself and I really _can_ recognize several exact locations. BUT all object are situated somewhere in the ocean "Out of Africa" :-( I can't select and move all objects into place - and I can't "convert" them into place. What do I do? Somehow I think that I've overlooked something obvious, but I've already spend too much time on this and I can't think of anything else, than begging this _divine_ list for help. (The next thing I do is saving the map as an image and georeference it...)
