Set Coordinate System information

Instructions for use

In , The coordinate system of data is divided into three categories: Planar Coordinate System, Geographic Coordinate System, and Projected Coordinate System. Users can set different types of Coordinate Systems according to the needs of Datasource or Dataset.

The Projection Settings Drop-down Button in the Data Processing group

on the Home tab is used to set and manage Current The coordinate Projection of each Datasource or Dataset in Workspace.

Only when the user selects one or more Datasource nodes in Workspace Manager or one or more Dataset nodes under the same Datasource, The -down Button is available Projection Settings "Drop. Click the Drop-down Button. The drop-down menu contains two items, Common Projections "and Projection Settings". Common Projections displays the projection files in the favorite folder. (See Projection Settings-Collection for actions related to the Favorites feature.) If there is no projection file in the favorite folder, the "Common Projections" "item will not be displayed; Click the "Projection Settings" item to open the "Projection Settings" window, where the user can set the Projection of the currently selected Datasource or Dataset.

Operation steps

In Current Workspace, select the Datasource or Dataset node in Workspace Manager, and click Projection Settings "Drop-down Button. Select "Projection Settings" item "in the drop-down menu to pop up the Coordinate System Settings" dialog box. Depending on whether the current Coordinate System of the Datasource is a planar rectangular coordinate system, a Geographic Coordinate System, or a Projected Coordinate System, The Coordinate System Settings "dialog box that pops up is different. If the user selects multiple Datasource nodes or multiple Dataset nodes under the same Datasource, the Projection of the last selected Datasource or Dataset will be displayed and set in the Projection Settings "dialog box.
