Setup Tab of the Coordinate Systems

Item

In the tab you can set the current coordinate system, the parameters of

grid to ground transformation, the corresponding geoid and select the

desired coordinate type for the current job. The tab contains the

following fields:

• Projection

- displays the current grid projection for the opened

job. The projection drop-down list contains the pre-defined and

custom (user defined) grid projections for the job. See Adding a

custom projection to the projection list.

When a projection (except Localization and None) is chosen:

- the Grid->Ground check box

is available.

Grid is available in the Coordinate type list and the list of

coordinate systems in the Status Bar.

When you localize or import a MAGNET Field job, Localization

is automatically set in the field.

• Datum - displays the corresponding datum for the selected grid

projection in the Projection

field. When None, UTMNorth,

UTMSouth or UPS grid projections is selected in the Projection

field. You can select any predefined or custom datum from the

drop-down list (and create a custom datum). When any other

projections are selected in the Projection

field, only the

corresponding datum is shown in this field, and you cannot open

the datum list.
