I am needing to know if anyone has figured out how to import a CSV ground control what has values in US-FT. The GCP coordinates are in a local cartesian X,Y,Z.
So far, I can only import in meters, which yields a scaling problem when I export the data back to my CAD program.
Has anyone been able to solve this? The only option I see is Euclidian meters, but I need Euclidian feet.
Hello,
you can add or edit the local coordinate system by editing local.xml file located in the installation folder. Simply add a new system (or edit the existing one) and include +units=ft into the definition.
Something like this:
<cs id=“3” desc=“FT local” params=“+proj=geocent +ellps=WGS84 +units=ft +no_defs” />
Then please when in the dialog where you choose coordinate system click on Import and select the edited local.xml file.
