HI To export out the map object data - you have to have ticked the flag - Preserve Attribute Data on the DXF Export Information.
However depending on the fields that you have exported you may need to edit the DXF file as well. You have to ensure that no break returns are evident in any character strings. See example below. GOOD 1 PT LOT 192 DP 19 BAD 1 LOT 1 DP 43008 If you have examples of BAD in your DXF - the AUTO-insert program flavour here Will more than likely bomb out opening the file. Regards Blair M.

Hello, It is possible to migrate data with Mapinfo's Export tool. Table-menu > Export. However I have had trouble with Autocad reading data. Map will be all right, but Autocad will not find any map object data. I have tried simple cad-program called Autosketch, which is also made by Autodesk, and it shows all data exported from Mapinfo tables as well as all map objects. When Autocad file (DXF or DWG) is saved in Autosketch is opened in Autocad, data is again lost. I would also be very interested in knowing how to get data in Autocad.
