WGS84 and UTM coordinate systems support urgently needed in VW


holsteinson

Question

VW need to implement asap support for both of these coordinate systems if this program is going to be considered a serious CAD program. Autocad Landesktop, Microstation DO support these real world coordinates

As it is there is no direct ASCII or CSV text file import from data collector to create DTM or land survey or construction stakeout!

Also no earth's curvature error correction can be used on large scale projects nor geographic latitude, longitude and height for GIS suppport

holsteinson, you are using a slightly different terminology than is widely used in most of the US. Generally, this is referred to as "georeferencing". This is a big wish item. And there IS direct ASCII and CSV import in VWL for DTM creation. (You will need to rename the CSV files with a TXT extension for import, however.)
