SetProjection.exe is a standalone Windows application developed to streamline projection management within MapInfo Professional. Created by Amzad Ali Khan, the tool enables users to assign a chosen coordinate reference system to multiple MapInfo tables simultaneously.

Application Details

  • File Name: SetProjection.exe (44 KB)
  • Author: Amzad Ali Khan
  • Version: 1.0
  • Created: April 5, 2004
  • Modified: April 5, 2004
  • Supported GIS Platform: MapInfo Professional
  • Operating System Support: Windows

Core Functionality

SetProjection (BatchMode) automates the process of defining or updating projection systems across multiple MapInfo tables. Instead of modifying coordinate systems individually, users can process entire groups of files in one operation.

The application allows users to:

  • Select multiple MapInfo tables for processing
  • Choose a projection system to apply uniformly
  • Automatically apply the selected coordinate system
  • Save newly projected files to a user-defined output folder

This reduces repetitive manual configuration and ensures consistent spatial reference settings across datasets.

Workflow Overview

  1. Launch the application in Windows.
  2. Select the MapInfo tables requiring projection updates.
  3. Choose the desired coordinate system from the available list.
  4. Specify the destination folder for output files.
  5. Execute the batch projection process.

The application then generates new files with the selected projection applied.

Practical Applications

Batch projection assignment is particularly useful when:

  • Integrating datasets from multiple sources
  • Standardizing coordinate systems before spatial analysis
  • Preparing files for data exchange or publication
  • Migrating legacy MapInfo tables into a unified spatial reference framework

Ensuring consistent projection settings is critical for accurate overlay, measurement, and spatial analysis operations.

Download Information

  • Executable Name: SetProjection.exe
  • File Size: 44 KB

After downloading, run the executable in a Windows environment and follow the interface prompts to process selected MapInfo tables.

SetProjection (BatchMode) provides a straightforward and efficient method for maintaining projection consistency across multiple MapInfo datasets.
