Reuse coordinate system

This guide shows you how to reuse coordinate systems in Emlid Flow and Emlid Flow 360.

Overview​

In Emlid Flow and Emlid Flow 360, you don't need to recreate new

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 every project. Instead, you can save them to Coordinate systems and reuse them when setting up a new project. This practice helps you keep results consistent across projects and reduces setup time.

You can reuse coordinate systems created and saved using the following methods:

Your saved coordinate systems are stored in your account and synced between Emlid Flow and Emlid Flow 360.

You can save a custom or localized coordinate system to your library during project setup. For step-by-step instructions, see the Custom coordinate system setup and Localization guides. Imported coordinate systems are saved automatically.

You can also save a custom or localized coordinate system from an existing project. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Open a project.

  2. Swipe up the drawer and tap the three-dot menu for Cooridnate system and choose Save to my CS.

  3. Tap Save.

Now, your coordinate system is saved in your Coordinate systems list.

Workflow​

To reuse a coordinate system to a new project, follow the steps below:

  1. Depending on your use case, open an existing project or create a new one.

  2. Click the Coordinate system cell.

  3. Choose a coordinate system from your list. This list includes all coordinate systems.

Now, you can select and apply a saved coordinate system to a project.
