Hi David! Just go for the *.shp file - the other ones are used as needed. Much like a *.tab file has a *.map, a*.dat and an *.idcompanion.
Note that I do not believe that UT can use the *.prj file. I'ts a late addition by ESRI when they discovered people were using the shape file format for geographic information. ;-) Hälsning / Best regards Mats.E ________________________ FB Engineering AB Södra Förstadsgatan 26 211 43 Malmö Tel: 040-660 25 50 Mobil: 0705-27 60 27 Fax: 040-660 25 99 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.fbe.se "David Reid" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2004-12-10 05:14 Till "MapInfo-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Kopia Ärende MI-L Translating Shape files, which files are necessary Greetings list. I have quite a few sets of dlg's I'm converting from ESRI shape file format to MI. The sets contain the following ordinary ESRI files, does UT require _ALL_ of these files to convert to tabs? *.sbx *.prj projection file? *.sbn *.dbf data *.shp vector data? *.shx index data? I know the dbf and shp files are required and probably a couple more but all? Thanks, David Reid --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
