Ground Coordinates 
 Survey   Projection   Mapping Plane Ground…. 
The Ground Coordinates screen is used to toggle between grid and 
ground coordinates, and to select how to define the origin of the 
ground coordinate system. 
Projection Definition: is where you choose how to 
represent the mapping plane coordinates. There are two 
options: 
• Use Grid Coordinates: WGS84 geodetic 
coordinates will be transformed into mapping 
plane zone coordinates. Horizontal distances on 
the ground are usually scaled to the grid. 
• Use Ground Coordinates: WGS84 geodetic 
coordinates will be transformed into ground 
scaled coordinates translated to a local origin. 
Horizontal distances on the ground are 1:1 on the 
grid, because the grid is scaled to the ground. 
Ground Coordinates Origin: is where you select what 
point to use as the origin of the ground coordinate system 
relative to the origin of the mapping plane zone. You can choose to. 
•  Origin at mapping plane origin: ground coordinate scale factor 
will be applied from the origin of the mapping plane zone. 
•  Pick point to define origin: ground coordinate scale factor will 
be applied from a point selected from the job. 
•  Key in coordinates to define origin: ground coordinate scale 
factor will be applied from a location entered by the user. 
Ground Coordinates - Key In Origin

The Ground Coordinates Key In Origin screen is used to input the 
location of the ground coordinates origin. This screen is used when 
you select Key in coordinates to define origin on the Setup screen.
