Coordinate Zone Transformations
You can perform coordinate zone transformations while importing
points. For example, if you import points based on lat/longs into a
drawing that uses a UTM zone, then you can specify which zone the
points are being imported from. When the points are imported, they
are converted to the drawing’s coordinate zone. For more information
about performing coordinate zone transformations see “Performing
Geodetic Transformations on Points” in this chapter.
