Re: MI How does MapInfo handles muliple Projections in the same window?

Hi Just a little note on the subject of using coordinates in lat/lon: MapInfos Longitude/latitude is based on (Degrees,Minuts,DecimalSeconds) not (Degress,Minuts,Seconds) as used by most sea-GPS recivers. So You would have to convert your coordinates to the right format before using them in

MI Scaling maps for layouts

RE: MI ESRI Shapefile and MapX Compatibility Question

Dave, MapX 4.x can read display native ESRI shape files using the 'Map.Layers.Add LayerInfoObject' method. There is a major drawback though - you have to know the projection of the data and specify that in the 'LayerInfoObject' - MapX does not seem to be able to get the projection from the

RE: MI ESRI Shapefile and MapX Compatibility Question

Richard, The major drawbacks you describe are the result of shortcomings native to Shape files, not MapX. Shapefiles contain neither the projection/coordinate system nor the object style info for the layer, as Mapinfo TABs do. MapX can't read information that isn't there, so it's necessary for

RE: MI Scaling maps for layouts

RE: MI Scaling maps for layouts

Well I have to admit that Richard's method works like a charm - I'd used bolt-on programs from day one so I've never actually had to do it the hard way before. I still think it should be a lot easier and more automated than this. Just as an example, the Discover add-on gives you a dialogue box
