I created a vector grid in QGIS and it exports as SHP -no issues. When I save as tab and try to open the file in MapInfo it crashes.
According to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mapinfo-l/sO-wcp9bnuQ this is due to MI only allowing (20,16) for the decimal where QGIS had it as (23,15).
When I copied the data to a new (20,16) column and deleted the (23,15) column and then saved as tab, it worked fine in MI.
Is there some option to choose so that this would happen automatically in the save as tab process?
PROCESS – QGIS-Vector-Research Tools–Make Grid (I did 10000 … 10km). Then save-as Tab. This file crashes MI.
Looking at the details of the tab I see it is 23,15 for one of the columns. If I create a copy with 20,16 and then save the tab, it works fine in MI.
So here is the shp file that won’t work when it’s converted by QGIS Save-as but works when converted in FME or Global. It is autogenerated using the QGIS steps mentioned above.
