Compute Project Coordinates
Compute Project Coordinates
Allows you to apply a combined scale factor and additional shifts in Easting and Northing in order to compute project coordinates from existing grid coordinates.
In the Home tab, select the Compute Project Coordinates option.
Compute Project Coordinates
The Project Coordinates tool opens up next to the Property Grid.

Project coordinates are computed for all points that are either stored as local grid or can be converted to local grid using the attached coordinate system.
The project coordinate system must have a map projection of type transverse mercator, UTM, Lambert two or double stereographic.
Check the attached coordinate system in the coordinate system manager.
Inspect the results in the Inspector > Features tab under Points. If not switched on already right-click on the column headers and select the columns Project Easting and Project Northing to be displayed in addition to the regular Easting and Northing columns. There are also columns for the three scale factors for each point.

The project coordinates including scale factors can be exported to an ASCII file using the ASCII export.
