SURVEYCONVUSERCOORDS

 

 

This function allows you to convert to a user-defined coordinate system.

It allows you to multiply coordinates by a constant that is entered, as opposed to being predefined. In all other respects it is the same as normal Coord Conversion.

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 subsequently be imported to form a new database with the adjusted coordinates.
