    Performing Geodetic Transformations On Points: To Create Description Keys (Continued)

    Uploaded by

    Edy Hermanto
    This document provides steps to create description keys in AutoCAD Land Desktop and relates survey data to mathematical models of the earth using geodetic transformations. It describes performing geodetic transformations on points to calculate latitude/longitude, State Plane, or UTM coordinates. Key concepts covered include relating assumed local northing/easting coordinates to the selected coordinate zone through transformation settings and calculating State Plane coordinates from a known latitude and longitude.

    25 Select a location in the drawing for the new point. 26 When you are prompted for the description, type UP1A. The description, UP1A, and the utility pole symbol are placed with the point, and the point and the symbol are placed on the specified layers.

    Performing Geodetic Transformations on Points


    Use the AutoCAD Land Desktop geodesy commands to relate survey data to mathematical models of the earth. Using the geodesy commands you can

    Calculate the latitude and longitude, State Plane, or UTM coordinates of a point. Convert point data that is in another coordinate zone into the current drawings coordinate zone when you import points. Convert point data in a project from one coordinate system to another.

    Hundreds of different zones are provided in AutoCAD Land Desktop, including UTM projections, and NAD27 and NAD83 State Plane grids. You can also use commands to edit zones and create new zones. You can use geodetic calculations, related to the current zone, whenever you have any high-order survey calculations to complete, or if you must tie a survey into either state plane coordinates or UTM map projections. To relate the assumed local northing/easting coordinates of a survey to the selected current zone, you must set the Transformation Settings for the drawing.

    Key Concepts

    The State Plane coordinates are expressed as grid northing and grid easting coordinates. The assumed coordinates, local northing and local easting coordinates, are equivalent to the COGO point coordinates in the point database. The Geodetic Calculator supplies missing information related to the current zone. For example, if you know the latitude and longitude of a point, then you can enter this information into the calculator to compute the grid northing/easting coordinates. You can then use this information to set the Transformation Settings for the drawing. After you set the Transformation Settings for a drawing, you can enter the local northing/easting coordinates into the Geodetic Calculator to compute either the grid coordinates or latitude and longitude of any point.

    Calculating State Plane Coordinates from a Known Latitude and Longitude


    You can use the Geodetic Calculator to relate local northing and easting coordinates to a State Plane coordinate system by using a known latitude and longitude that you collect using a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. After you calculate the grid coordinates, you can set the transformation settings for the drawing. This lets you calculate the grid coordinates or latitude and longitude of any point in the survey.
