Examine the Coordinates of a Vertex

Description

Display the coordinates of a vertex.

Access

Home / Tools / Examine / Coordinate

Requirements
  • Specify a coordinate system to view scale factors.
  • Specify a geoid model and a coordinate system, or a default geoid undulation to view the ellipsoid height.
Controls

The coordinate types displayed are determined by the Unit Options settings.

Control Description
Vertex Enter the Vertex 'unique id' or point name.
Easting Easting coordinate.
Northing Northing coordinate.
Height Orthometric height.
Latitude Latitude.
Longitude Longitude.
Ellipsoidal Height Height above the ellipsoid.
Point scale factor Scale factor at the vertex used to compute ground distances
Combined scale factor Factor combining the point scale factor and the height correction.
Grid convergence Grid convergence at the vertex.
Notes
  • Only easting, northing and height will be displayed if the coordinate system is set to Plane and a combined scale factor is specified.
  • Latitude and longitude are on the datum selected in the projects coordinate system.
  • The ellipsoid height is displayed when a geographical coordinate system is selected.
  • The ellipsoid height is displayed when a plane coordinate system is selected and a combined scale factor is not applied.
  • If a default geoid undulation is used to compute the ellipsoid height the value followed by (Default) .
  • If a user coordinate system is selected, only X,Y,Z coordinates are displayed.
