Setting the Coordinate System

The Coordinate System Settings dialog is used to set and view the project’s internal coordinate system, in which aerotriangulation and reconstruction are performed. The coordinate system is also relevant for calculating the horizontal and vertical accuracy of the control points.

Note:    When Review mode is on, you can only view the coordinate system.

To view Coordinate System Settings:

1.     On the Home tab, in the Process group, click the arrow next to Build, and select Coordinate System Settings. The Coordinate System Settings dialog is displayed, showing the name of the project’s coordinate system.

Note:        When Review mode is off, you can click the arrow to select a different coordinate system from the dropdown list. Select the Custom option to create a new custom coordinate system. See "Coordinate System" in the "Basic Concepts" chapter for more information.

2.     Click View to view the full Well-Known Text (WKT) for the coordinate system.
