Coordinates transformation

Updated V9

Calculate geometric transformations of the features in the import and export processes

Spatial Manager Desktop™ will calculate geometric transformations of the features in the import and export processes, which will depend on the chosen Coordinate System (CRS) for the source and target data

The user can choose the appropriate CRSs from a complete CRS catalog or from a list which includes the most recent used CRSs

Transformation of coordinates

Geometric transformations of the features in line with the import or export processes. Coordinate reference system (CRS) of the source and the target data. Complete CRSs catalog. Drop down list including the favorite or most recent used CRSs

Maps always updated<span style='font-size: 1rem;'> - <a href='maps-always-updated/' class='app_color_link'>More info ></a></span>

Maps always updated

Any change in the Map CRS or in the Map Layers CRSs will result in an automatic document update. You can graphically check the coincidence or accuracy of the source information on the composed Map

Adjusted Background Maps

The Background Maps are also automatically adjusted according to their CRS and the CRS selected for the Map in the document. You can choose the CRS from those available for a user Background Map or let the application select the most appropriate one automatically
