Use this dialog box to save a copy of an existing table with a new name including a query table. Specify a projection or save in MapInfo Pro or DBF file format.
Save in
Select the path into which you want to save the new table.
File Name
Enter the filename you want to copy. This box lists files with the extension you select in the List Files of Type box. To see a list of files with a particular extension, type an asterisk (*), a period and the three character extension. For example, if you want to see all files with a .dbf extension in a directory, type *.dbf.
Save as type
Select the file format of the file you want to open.
- MapInfo
- MapInfo version 2.x
- dBASE DBF
- Microsoft Access Database
Note: For dBase files, MapInfo Pro displays another dialog box, prompting for further information. These dialog box explanations are covered according to the type of file (for example, Opening DBF format files).
MapInfo Places
Select this button to display folders that are specific to MapInfo Pro, such as the Workspaces directory, the Import Files directory or other folders you have established in your MapInfo Pro Directories preferences.
Standard Places
Select this button to display folders that are standard, such as My Computer, My Recent Documents, and Desktop.
Open DBMS Connection
Use this button to open an DBMS connection to a remote database.
Save
Saves the copy.
Cancel
Cancels the copy.
Projection
Click the Projection button to access the Choose Projection dialog box that defaults to the Longitude\Latitude (WGS84) projection. The Projection button is used to choose the coordinate system of the coordinates in the table. When the table already has graphic objects - some rows already have point objects - the coordinate values are treated as native coordinates in whatever projection with which the map was saved. The projection used is the current default table projection preference.
Charset
Specify the character set, such as UTF-8 or UTF-16, of the data file that you are creating. Only Windows and Unicode character sets are available. If working with a Unicode character set, then the file defaults to the MapInfo Extended (*.tab) format, because the MapInfo (*.tab) format does not support Unicode. This means that if the source table is:
- Unicode, then all character sets are available so long as you save to the MapInfo Extended (*.tab) file format. If you save to the MapInfo (*.tab) file format, then Unicode character sets are not available.
- Not Unicode, then you can save to the MapInfo (*.tab) format using only the source character set, or save to MapInfo Extended (*.tab) and use any character set.
For the MapInfo Extended (*.tab) format, Charset uses the preference set in the System Settings Preferences Dialog Box unless you change it.
For the MapInfo (*.tab) format, Charset uses the system character set unless you change it.
