However, if you need to make changes to existing MIF files, follow these steps to convert the to SHP file format:
<ol>
<li> Open the MapInfo MIF file in GIS. The easiest way to do this is to drag and drop the file from Windows Explorere to the QGIS Map or Layer Window. If the MapInfo file includes a combination of regions, lines and point objectobjects QGIS will display a pop-up message asking which of these features you would like to open. Select "Select All", then "OK". QGIS will split the MIF file into its respective object types.
<li> Import empty QGIS SHP template files for the required object types.
<li> Copy the features from the MapInfo layers to the relevant new QGIS SHP files. Note, double check the attribute values have been correctly transferred to the new file. In some rare instances when the field attribute type is incompatible this does not occur.
