Changing coordinate system?


Recommended Posts

VW will import the objects based on the coordinates in the file.

But is there a way to change the coordinate system in a file? And how can I make sure which one am I currently using?

I'm trying to figure out if the data in two different documents is the same (but there's an offset, which certainly derives from different coordinate systems being used).

Thanks!

When you say "different co-ordinate systems" do you mean different co-ordinate systems or do you mean different datums?

I'm not quite proficient in English geodetic terminology, but are you basically asking if I really want to use a different coordinate system or just to re-define the point of origin?

If I understood you correctly, yup, I really want to try another coordinate system (as I inserted some coordinates from an OLD archived paper-file and they didn't match up with what I have)... But knowledge how to re-define the point of origin would be useful to know as well. :)
