Geodetic Calculator Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to calculate geodetic information relative to the zone and the transformation values specified in the drawing settings.

To use the calculator, enter values for known coordinate properties, and the remaining coordinate values are calculated.

Note: If transformation settings for a drawing are not enabled, the Select Point, Local Northing, Local Easting, and Local Elevation options are not active.

Specify Point

Specifies local northing and easting values using a drawing point. Click a point in the drawing.

Create Point

Creates a point with the specifications you enter in the value column. After you enter or edit values, you can click this icon to create a new point. At the command line you are prompted to enter a point description and elevation.

Zone Description

Displays read-only information about the zone specified in the drawing.

Point Number

Specifies a starting point number from which local northing and easting values are read. Grid Northing, Grid Easting, Latitude, and Longitude are calculated using the drawing zone. Enter a point number.

Latitude

Specifies latitude. Enter a latitude value using the format specified for the Lat Long drawing ambient setting.

Changing this property updates the fields for Grid Northing, Grid Easting, Local Northing, Local Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence.

Longitude

Specifies longitude. Enter a longitude value using the format specified for the Lat Long drawing ambient setting.

Changing this property updates the fields for Grid Northing, Grid Easting, Local Northing, Local Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence.

Grid Northing

Specifies grid northing. Enter a grid northing value.

Changing this property updates the fields for Latitude, Longitude, Local Northing, Local Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence.

Grid Easting

Specifies grid easting. Enter a grid easting value.

Changing this property updates the fields for Latitude, Longitude, Local Northing, Local Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence.

Local Northing

Specifies local northing. Enter a local northing value.

Changing this property updates the fields for Latitude, Longitude, Grid Northing, Grid Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence fields to be updated.

Local Easting

Specifies local easting. Enter a local easting value.

Changing this property updates the fields for Latitude, Longitude, Grid Northing, Grid Easting, Scale Factor, and Convergence.

Local Elevation

Specifies the local elevation for the specified point number.

Scale Factor

Displays the scale factor for the specified coordinate values. This read-only value is updated when coordinates are recalculated.

Convergence

Displays the convergence for the specified coordinate values using the format specified for the Lat Long drawing ambient setting. This read-only value is updated when coordinates are recalculated.

Sea Level Corrections Applied

Specifies whether sea level corrections are applied in Drawing Settings.

Grid Scale Factor Applied

Specifies whether the grid scale factor is applied in Drawing Settings.
