Do Coordinate Transformation If Possible: Specifies that coordinate transformations should occur during export. The point file format must have a coordinate zone assigned to it and the drawing you are exporting points from must have coordinate zone and transformation information defined. The points that are exported are transformed to match the zone assigned to the point file format.
Do Coordinate Data Expansion If Possible: Specifies that missing coordinate data properties of the points being exported, such as degrees, minutes, seconds, and hemisphere for latitude and longitude, are calculated if possible. These values are calculated from known coordinate data information, such as grid northing and grid easting.
