Edit coordinate system from library

This guide shows you how to edit and change your existing

coordinate system

Coordinate system is a coordinate-based local, regional or global system used to locate geographical entities. A spatial reference system defines a specific map projection, as well as transformations between different spatial reference systems.

for your projects in Emlid Flow 360.

Overview

You can change the coordinate system of your project in Emlid Flow 360. If the original and target coordinate systems use the same datum, Emlid Flow 360 automatically recalculates all existing points and applies the new coordinate system to future measurements, keeping your project aligned with the new reference frame.

If the coordinate systems use different datums, automatic transformation of existing project data is not supported. In this case, transform the data using a third-party coordinate conversion or GIS application before importing it back into the project.
