All that comes through is point data all but two of which are at the same location." I have had similar experience with universal translator and autocad files and i found that the problem was the table boundaries were ridiculously small. I.e the x,y co-ordinates might range from 0 to 10000 but the boundaries were 0-10 so all the objects end up jammed in one location. The fix is don't convert the autocad file directly into a .tab file, convert it into a .mif then use a text editor to change the boundaries in the .mif file, then import it into MapInfo. Yes this is a very tedious process if there are a lot of layers in the .dwg file.
