    Hi all - hoping you might be able to help!

    Files I need are in MapInfo format (mapping layers) - and I need to include these layers on maps I have prepared in CAD format. I do not have MapInfo - is there some way of converting mapinfo files to .dwg?

    Will I be able to match the original co-ordinates?!

    Thanks!

    As far as I know , you need to use the Universal translator tool with Mapinfo to do the translation . I don't know of any other standalone tools that can convert mapinfo to anything else.

    Sorry if that's bad news !
    Someone may know of an online service maybe ?

    :) Thanks for the offer! The Consultant still has the files, hence I was hoping to find a way of sorting it and speed up the situation - so I will tell them to use the tool and hopefully all will be ok!
