Choose Coordinate System dialog

This dialog is used to:

• Set the projected coordinate system for the GeoPlan. It is displayed when you click in the Select Coordinate System dialog.
  Note: Although the coordinate system list for a MapXtreme map control includes 'Longitude and Latitude' options, these are geographic not projected coordinate systems and therefore should not be selected for use in InfoWorks WS Pro.
• Change the coordinate system for a shape file layer. It is displayed when you click in the GIS Layer Control dialog, and lets you change the coordinate system for a shape file. See below for details.
  Note: If ArcGIS Maps (Tech Preview) is the current map control, coordinate systems for shapefile GIS Layers will need to bet set before adding those layers.

The Choose Coordinate System dialog for ArcGIS Maps includes a list of projected coordinate system compatible with InfoWorks programs and ArcGIS.
