Hi all,
I am pretty naive when it comes to projections etc.
I have received an Autocad .dwg file and it is requested that I import this
into MapInfo in British National Grid.
MapInfo only seems to allow the importing of autocad.dxf files, so I
converted the file to MI.tab file using Geographic Explorer Quick
Translator. The resulting file comes in with Non-Earth Meters projection.
Upon converting it to BNG projection when saving a new copy, the copy still
loads in the same place (miles away from where I want it) with an example
being x=1051925.36 y=-5112608.9 as compared to x=429362.55 and y=414762.18,
as required.
I have tried to update the x & y centroids without success.
Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance,
