(Convert) Wireframe
Select Survey | Convert Coordinates Between | (Convert) Wireframe to convert the coordinates in an input wireframe and optionally write the results to a second wireframe. To do so:
- Select an available Conversion. Alternatively, right-click to create one (see Setup).
- Select the Type and Name of the input wireframe.
- In most situations, enable Ignore height changes in datum conversions.
- Optionally, enable Overwrite input wireframe, or supply the Type and Name of the output wireframe.
We recommend enabling Ignore height changes in datum conversions to avoid unexpected height changes caused by differences in ellipsoidal heights between datums.
Reverse Direction
Click on the arrow to reverse the direction of the conversion from Wireframe 1 to Wireframe 2 or vice versa.
If you are converting latitudes and longitudes to transform grid coordinates, the direction will determine whether the transformation is from GEOGRAPHIC to GRID, or from GRID to GEOGRAPHIC.
Run
Click Run to begin the conversion.
Close
Click Close to close the form.
Forms
Click the Forms button to select and open a saved form set, or if a form set has been loaded, save the current form set.
By design the Forms button is not available for loaded Vizex layers (i.e. when opening the form set properties of a layer in the Display Pane). In Vizex, the Forms button is only available for new forms opened via the Display | Vizex menu (or by double-clicking on a form type node in the Vizex Forms Pane).
Save and Save As
Click the Save button to save the changes you have made to the form set. Click Save As to save your changes as a new form set. Save As will default to the first available form set number.
Reset
Click Clear to clear the form of all values and reset the form to its default state. In the case of tabbed forms, set the first tab as the active tab.
Undo and Redo
Click Undo (CTRL + Z) to undo recent changes in the form. After an Undo, click Redo (CTRL + Y) to restore the last change that was undone.
Collapse
Collapse (roll-up) the form to preview the results of an operation in Vizex, or obtain input values from Vizex, the Property Window, the File Editor, or the Plot Editor.
