Coordinate system to be used while placing the active point

Kiran Gulabrao Bandal

Hi all,

When we place an active point in Bentley Map, we we all know, we can provide the data points to position the active point. So, what is the coordinate system we can use to provide these coordinates in? can it be geographic (Lat/Long) or our projected coordinate system? I read in the help documentation that we can use absolute coordinates also. So, can anybody please shed some light on this please? Appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance,

Kiran

    Hi. In addition to the information that Dan provided, with Bentley Map you can also enter coordinates and display coordinates in an alternate coordinate system if you desire. This will let you work in the main coordinate system defined for your model as well as another one. You could for example store your data in a geodetic coordinate system but do input and readout in a projected coordinate system. As said, this is completely optional. Do a search on "alternate coordinate system" in the Bentley Map documentation for details.
