The original data may have been registered differently and they will never align. It is possible to Transform the design file to a new set of control coordinates, but there will most likely still be alignment problems.
The data may be in two different coordinate systems? The conversion may be loosing the coordinate system names, or they may be incorrect. Do you mean a Microstation "dgn" design file? DXF is Autodesk format, which can be exported from Microstation. -----Original Message----- From: Davis, Pedro (CBS-Hampton Roads) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 07, 2003 06:31 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: MI-L Microstation conversion to MapInfo Does anyone know or can anyone explain how to align a Microstation dxf file to a current MapInfo data set. Example I have a MapInfo data set for a city and the Microstation data set for the city, when I convert the Microstation to MapInfo and load both sets (all new and old tabs) the don't align together. I've been trying merge the two to form on work space, but can't seem to remember or figure it out how.
