MI Thematic saving!

Mapping Pro's out there, Is there any way of saving thematic features (e.g. I have a ranged thematic map), as a separate table? I think the problem of "workspace trouble" in my last mail stems from the fact that I am only saving the thematic layers within a workspace environment and not as

RE: MI HOW TO CONVERT DEGREE TO METER

Hi, If you have co-ordinates in degrees, then what you have is Longitude/Latitude (WGS84), as UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) system is exclusively a metre grid system. If you wish to convert from Longitude/Latitude (WGS84) degree to UTM metres, here is one way you can do it. First

RE: MI HARTEBEESTHOEK 94 DATUM

Hi, it can get confusing. WGS 84 is a satellite datum, which incorporates it's own reference ellipsoid for the purposes of providing positions in convenient Lat/Lon co-ordinates, rather than it's native 3 dimensional cartesian co-ordinates. So in effect you are right in concluding that WGS84

MIF/MID Import Limitation

Hi It appears that the MIF/MID import routine in Mapinfo Pro 5.5 (and I assume earlier) doesn't recognised the fact the features can have more than 32,000 odd points now. This can be rather annoying and embarassing since it just skips over them and doesn't report the fact, leaving you with

Re: MI HARTEBEESTHOEK 94 DATUM

All that is needed is a custom datum to convert the local datum (Cape) to WGS84 upon which the Haartebeesthoek 94 datum is based. What was done below was to modify the MAPINFOW.PRJ file coordinate system parameters already supplied with MapInfo 5.0 for South Africa, and insert a custom datum
