MI Import Mif

Introduction

This page details the process for importing MapInfo Interchange Format (.mif and .mid pair). The method is covered both for users with the miTools utilities and without these utilities.

With miTools

There are a number of utilities for the importing and exporting of tables into the MIF / MID (MapInfo Interchange Format) which are used by TUFLOW.


The four buttons from left to right are:

• Batch Export files
• Export currently editable file to .MIF
• Import MIF file to current map
• Batch Import files

The export utilities are covered in the Export a .MIF/.MID page.

Without miTools

Select Table >> Import and navigate to the .mif file that you want to import and select OPEN. Navigate to the folder you wish to save the MapInfo table to and choose a file name and select Save. If importing a table from the TUFLOW\Model\mi\Empty\ ensure that you navigate up one level to the TUFLOW\Model\mi\.
For multiple imports the process needs to be repeated.
