Maptitude Help / Projections and Coordinate Systems / Displaying XY Coordinates

Displaying XY Coordinates

You can display the XY coordinates for a point layer in a map that is displayed with a coordinate system. The Dataview>Tools>Coordinate to XY command adds two formula fields, X and Y, to a dataview for the point layer. The formula fields have the following formulas:

X = a2r(MapCoordToXY(, coord(Longitude, Latitude)), 1)

Y = a2r(MapCoordToXY(, coord(Longitude, Latitude)), 2)

If you change the coordinate system for the map, the X and Y formula fields will be automatically updated.

To Display XY Coordinates

1. Make sure that the map is being displayed with a coordinate system by right clicking on the map and choosing Properties.
2. Choose a point layer from the drop-down list on the Standard toolbar.
3. Choose Dataview>Tools>Coordinate to XY.

Maptitude displays a dataview for the point layer with the X and Y formula fields.
