I wouldn’t think MI can make use of the .aux directly, but it might be possible for you to extract the projection info (it’s a bit like a world file - .tfw)

 

You can get this sort of info by a quick search of the ESRI knowledgebase:

 

The .aux file contains any other information:
-statistics,
-color map,
-world reference,
-projection system(in case it can't be saved within the image file)
-etc.
When ArcGIS access the image for the first time, it can get this information from other files (.hdr, .tfw, etc.). Then it generates the .aux. Next time the image is read, it only read the .aux

 

The aux file is generated the first time ArcGIS access any image file. It is a binary file used by ArcGIS to store ancillary information on the data, such as the world coordinates, the spatial reference, the statistics, etc. The world file is a text (hence editable) file to define the world coordinates and resolution of the image. Note that once the .aux file is created, ArcGIS doesn't use the world file anymore. If you change the world file manualy, then you need to delete the .aux file before opening the image again in ArcGIS; otherwise, ArcGIS would still read the world information in the .aux. 

 

(I’ve just grabbed a couple of threads, as an example).

Subject: [MI-L] aux-files

 

Hi there

 

I've got some tiff-files with aux-files (ArcGIS Auxiliary File for GIS Datasets, the internet says). I can't open these aux-files in Mapinfo 8.0

Does anyone know a possibility to open these files in Mapinfo?

 

Met vriendelijke groet,
