yOU HAVE TO SET THE COORDINAT SYSTEM WITH A MAPbasic command so MapInfo will 
update you columns using UTM instead of Lat/Long.

In the MapBasic window, type: (where MyTableName is an open table with UTM 
coordsys.)

Set CoordSys Table MyTableName

Ämne:   MI-L convert lat/long to UTM


I extracted the centroids from some polygons in a table.

1) added two fields (float) to a table.
2) update columns using centroidx(object)  centroidx(object)
3) the result is in Lat/Long   -122.513, 49.0157


My problem is I use UTM zone 10 (NAD 83) projection.   535,581,28,
5,429,316.75

Is there a way to convert lat/long to UTM?

Thanks,

Peter
