Morning, That tool seems to be saving as I would have expected thank you for the tip 😊
I’ve told the users to use that tool instead of right click > export for now. Cheers, Paul From: Richard Greenwood <richard.greenw...@gmail.com> Sent: 02 December 2021 00:37 To: Nicolas Cadieux <njacadieux.git...@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Wittle <paul.wit...@dorsetcouncil.gov.uk>; qgis-user <qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org> Subject: Re: [Qgis-user] MapInfo export issue I don't know if this is related or helpful, but GDAL 3.0 doesn't produce MapInfo TAB files with the correct coordinate system when the coordinate system is in feet. GDAL 3.3 and 3.4 do work. A suggestion would be to install GDAL 3.3 or 3.4 and use ogr2ogr -f "MapInfo file" dest source On Wed, Dec 1, 2021 at 10:41 AM Nicolas Cadieux <njacadieux.git...@gmail.com<mailto:njacadieux.git...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi, If you send us a simple file (the original, the tab and mid mif version you created), we could test on other versions of QGIS. If you do this make sure we can correctly identify the proper location. Use something like the outline of a building that we can find using Google earth as background image.

The output is also creating an error when QGIS tries to load the data as well although I’m not sure if QGIS could ever directly load MIF files. The main issue is that if you save to TAB and select “Add saved file to map” it draws in a different place. This feels a bit wrong to me. In any case we are trying to get people to upgrade to the latest version of MapInfo so GeoPackage is supported. I will just advise our users to export to GeoPackage instead and use that as the main data sharing format instead. Thanks for all the tips and suggestions though.
