SURVEYCONVCOORDS

 

 

This function converts selected coordinated points from one unit of measure to another. The conversions available correspond to the units of length that are available in Unit Conversions.

The converted coordinate values are not stored in the database, but are stored in an ASCII file that must be named. This ASCII file can be subsequently imported to form a new database with the adjusted coordinates.

See also Geo Topo for complete GPS data file conversions, Goldfields for the Witwatersrand system conversions and LO to LO for panel to panel conversions.
