ArcMap to Mapinfo project conversion

Is there a decent way to convert a single ArcMap 9.2 project to
MapInfo 9?

I know I convert single shape files to tab files, then rebuild the
bugger in MapInfo, but am praying there is some common link MapInfo
coul use to re-create the layout of an ArcMap project.

Only using MapInfo as a client requested it / paid for it.

Hi there!

I'm used to work with MapInfo and ArcView. And I never found a tool to
convert the ESRI-Project to MapInfo Workspace.
There are several differences in the logic of it. For example in Shape
there is only one geometry at a time (line, area, point).

Good luck!

But that should hardly be a problem, when converting from arcgis to mapinfo.
It would be more tricky the other way around. But generally most mapinfo
users stick to one geometry type per table anyway.

There ist another thing I didn't mention: In MapInfo the labeling is
very different to ESRI.

Thank you. The only path from ArcMap to MapInfo is to export layers
from ArcMap as Mif/mdf, then in MapInfo, import as tables.
Everything else has to happen in MapInfo, which so far is so
inadequate compared to ArcMap, hence price difference.
Starting to figure out how to label (not fun!).

Thanks again!
