Mercator not drawing

[martin_dk]

I'm in the process of evaluating your SDK (v1.3.2) and have trouble rendering an ecw file.
I have an ecw file which renders fine (using GM_DrawLayerListToMemory).
I converted the projection of the same file in GlobalMapper from GEODETIC to MERCATOR and now it doesn't render.
However when omitting worldBounds (null) in GM_DrawLayerListToMemory it renders. What gives?
I listed the metadata from globalmapper below (the PROJ_NAME for mercator-projection files reads MRAFRICA?? )

What coordinates are you passing in for your world bounds when you try to draw? Note that the bounding box for GM_DrawLayerList should have coordinates in whatever projection is currently set. By default the display projection will be that of the first loaded file, so when you load a Mercator ECW file as your first file the display projection will by default be set to a Mercator projection, so you will then need to pass in Mercator coordinates in your world bounds. If you always want to pass in lat/lon values, use GM_SetProjection to change the display projection to GM_PRJ_GEO.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Ok thanks.
