Let me say first that I am very impressed at the opportunity given by MI to discuss openly some “user preference”. Since the days when beta releases opened temporary channels to limited exchanges on testing results, I do not remember MI paying such attention to its users’ community. Is tha

Keith, The U.S. National Geodetic Survey (www.ngs.noaa.gov) has the software and data files to perform datum shifts (from NAD27 to NAD83) for the Republic of Mexico. I would guess that all you would need to do is to download the NADCON data files for Mexico into the appropriate subdirectory o

Dear Cathy: What you are experiencing is the distortion present in a conformal coordinate system. The British National Grid is based on the fully-conformal Gauss-Krueger Transverse Mercator projection. That type of projection preserves shapes and angles, but not areas. There are two sources

I'm not sure that the list of NADCON datafiles used isn't hardcoded into MapInfo. I think someone from MapInfo will have to verify this. If you're working on a small area, the NGS website should also have a program called NADGRD, which lets you make extracts from the full NADCON datafile. A smal

Derek, Thanks for the opportunity to provide input. I agree with others that copy/paste should not zoom or pan, just a simple copy and paste with no other actions. I would like a toggle of some sort (a one key command like "s" for snap would be great) for the find selection operation that would

Hello Cathy, I'll bow to Clifford's extensive knowledge on this subject, but in terms of using MapInfo Pro, there are a few things to be aware off. The British national grid system is indeed a Transverse Mercator projection which give a Cartesian coordinate space to work with. That is to say, it'

I received this response from MapInfo, which implies that the list of NADCON grid files used by MapInfo Pro is hardcoded. Not that it particularly matters to me, but I'd already put my two cents' worth into this discussion. I'd gone by my experience with the original NADCON software and an earlie
