ANNOTATION OF SURVEY DATA POINTS IN LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE

Vaibhav,

To work with Lat\Long you need to have a geographic coordinate system attached. You won't be able to do that if the file is an dwg so first save to dgn.

1. You need to have a Geographic Coordinate System Attached.  You can find this under TOOLS > GEOGRAPHIC > SELECT GEOGRAPHIC COORDINATE SYSTEM  Select appropriate coordinate system 

2. Look for the coordinates in the lower right, left click on them and select ACS Position. If you do not have Running Coords. Turned on, turn them on now (right click, make sure RUNNING COORDINATES is checked).

3. If you do this and you still see Northing and Easting, From the Main Menu Bar go to UTILITIES > AUXILIARY COORDINATES. In the Auxiliary Coordinates Dialog double click on your coordinate system. You should now see Lat/Long displayed instead of Northing/Easting

Tom,

thank you very much for the timely guidance.I went to ACS but I could not set Lat/Long (in degree,min,sec). A snapshot is herewith attached.

Vaibhav,

Look for the coordinates in the lower right, left click on them and select ACS Position.

Also, your coordinate system needs to be active - If Military Grid WGS84 is correct, fine. If you want to use UTM84-44N then you'll need to double click on it and make it active.

Thanks Tom,

The Northing-Easting coordinates are visible in Latitude-Longitude (degree, minute and second). 

My next requirement is that I want all the points in the .dgn file to be highlighted with text as (Latitude1,Longitude1),(Latitude2,Longitude2)….

Try this VBA:

It worked for me in v8i SS4, but not CONNECT (it's very clear about that)

Hello Tom,

I tried the  MVBA but its not working.  

thanks
