This is a bit complicated to put into words correctly. But first we need to add a trivial step: - Linking Virtual Earth Street Map image mapping from the Manifold Image server
- Importing image and georeferencing it to the Street Map
- Creating a new drawing
- Automatically tracing from the georeferenced image
When you create that drawing, it has *some* coordinate system, in all probability the projection of the Virtual Earth image that everything is built upon. (Was that assigned Web Mercator, i.e. Mercator as the projection, with World Geographic 1984 (WGS84) Auto as the datum? That would be usual. If not then this could need attention first.) If that was the case, then the drawing would also inherit the Local Offset and Local Scale values used for the image. To make the drawing useful outside Manifold, these values need to be removed (converted to 0 and 1 respectively). And you will probably also want to convert to a well-known projection appropriate for the area, which can be used in MapInfo as well. It might not be this simple, but the final step before export will be to use Change Projection (not Assign Projection) to convert the geometry to the shared projection you have chosen for use in MapInfo as well as Manifold. (Actually this can be a first step: the drawing can be maintained and edited in Manifold in this target projection, even if it is used with imagery in Web Mercator.) There could be some complications here that make it worthwhile posting a map with example data. The way to remove them is
