  • 1.  Conversion Native TAB to MRR

    Posted 06-25-2025 05:44

    Hi,

    I have a large native TAB file, and would like to convert it to MRR.

    Can this be done with Mapinfo Pro, or, do i need an additional license (advanced?)

    I noticed there's a Rasterize option in the Raster Operations menu. However, when i try this, the output is totally not the same as the input...

    Thanks in advance,

    Guy

    Hey Guy

    This may depend on the type of content you have in your vector file.

    If it's points and lines, it may be tricky to get a good representation out of it using Rasterize. 

    If it's merely points, I'd suggest using one of the options in the Create Raster dropdown on the Raster tab.

    If it's polygon data, Rasterize could be a good fit.

    Many features from the Raster tab require MapInfo Pro Advanced, which is included in MapInfo Pro if you are on a subscription license.

    Can you share some screenshots of your data?
