About the Geodetic Calculator

Use the Geodetic Calculator to calculate geodetic information relative to the zone and transformation values specified in the drawing settings.

A Coordinate System zone must be specified for the drawing in order to use this command. Transformation settings must be specified in order to view/calculate local coordinates relative to the Latitude/Longitude and/or Grid coordinates.

Enter one pair of known coordinate values, either Local Northing/Local Easting, Latitude/Longitude, or Grid Northing/Grid Easting. The other two coordinate pairs are calculated.

For example, if you enter a value in the Local Northing value field, the Local Northing/Local Easting coordinate pair is assumed to contain the known data, and the values for the Latitude/Longitude and Grid Northing/Grid Easting pairs are calculated. If you enter a value into either the Latitude or Longitude value field, the Latitude/Longitude coordinate pair is assumed to contain the known data, and values for the Local Northing/Local Easting and Grid Northing/Grid Easting pairs are calculated.

If you enter a point number or select a point location in the drawing, the Local Northing/Local Easting pair is updated, and the Latitude/Longitude and Grid Northing/Grid Easting pairs are calculated.

Note: You can run other commands while the Geodetic Calculator is active.
