i have problems with some point data in my swiss coordinate projection
with the origin in berne. the data are always shown 650000 / 220000 m
(which are the swiss-coordinates from the point) away from the origin,
which is 600000 / 200000. the point mentioned is always shown at the
coordinates: 1250000/420000.
has anybode a good idea what i'm doing wrong?

Daniel,

did you create a new coordinate system (CS) in Map for the use in World or
did you take the existing Switzerland CS, Original Origin that uses the
Northing and Easting values you mentioned?
In what CS and with what program was the drawing created?

It looks to me that the points might be in a Swiss CS, but not created
with origin Bern, but starting at 0,0. Move them 600,000 / 200,000 units
and they should fit again.
If you have a lot of drawings using these coordinates and you have Map
available, you could also create a new CS based on the existing Swiss one,
but with a Northing and Easting of 0. You can use the new CS also in World
by copying the corresponding files from Map over.

I hope you'll find this of some help.
