File Limitations for MapInfo Professional Supported Formats
Keep the following notes in mind when working with these MapInfo formats:
• MapInfo Professional only supports the DXF file import to release 13 through Table > Import. This
has been superseded by the Universal Translator and Open Universal Data feature.
• The Open Universal Data feature supports all DWG and DXF formats up to the current AutoCAD
release 2013. While it is our company’s intention to keep pace with the new releases of FME, if you
extend the application to import AutoCAD DWG and DXF files using a newer version of FME before
we have upgraded our product, errors may occur.
• You can have maximum 500 files open at a time in MapInfo Professional if you remove the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MapInfo\MapInfo\Common Max Files registry key.
• You can have up to 125 files open at a time for editing in MapInfo Professional.
