MapInfo Interchange Format (MIF) is a map and database exporting file format of MapInfo software product. The MIF file filename usually ends with .mif-suffix. Some MIF files also have a related MID file.
Export
To export maps in MIF/MID format:
- Load or create an existing map
- Select File | Save As
- Select Save as type: and choose "Catalog file (*.xml)"
An XML file is created which outlines the directories of the MIF/MID files. A points.mif/mid, polygons.mif/mid and polylines.mif/mid (if exists) is also created.
Import
Using the File | Open menu command, open the saved XML file to import the mesh from a MIF/MID file.
After selecting a MIF/MID file, the MIF/MID Import dialog may appear. Users have the option to import the MIF/MID file to one of the following coverage types:
- GIS Layer
- TUFLOW 2D/2D Linkage
- TUFLOW 2D Z Lines/Polygons (simple)
- TUFLOW Area Property
- TUFLOW Boundary Condition (flow over area)
- TUFLOW Boundary Condition (rainfall)
- TUFLOW Codes
- TUFLOW Flow Constriction (cell based)
- TUFLOW From Loss Coefficient
- TUFLOW Initial Water Level
- TUFLOW Storage Reduction Factor
- TUFLOW Water Level Lines
- TUFLOW Water Level Points
- TUFLOW Weir Factor
MIF/MID files can also be imported using the Add MIF/MID File Data command in the Data menu of the GIS module.
