.pts file coordinates not correct

  • 1.  .pts file coordinates not correct

    Hello, I have downloaded the points file (.pnt) from Earthworks. The coordinates are not correct. They should be around N 2000, E2000 and El 600.0. 

    Coordinates appear correct when storing. Please see attached.

    Thanks

    PNT files are of fixed format, the co-ordinate order is fixed and the units are always in metres.

    Geoffrey, what is the best way to pull those files off in the project coordinate system?

    With Siteworks we pull the .spj.

    Today, I know of no easy way to know the units of a project in Works Manager. 

    I am not sure if you have any projects that have moved to international feet, if not you can convert them to US FT

    Tom, 

    They should be in the coordinate system of the job they were recorded under, the units are just meters. Open up the project in TBC and drag and drop the PNT file in there. The importer should recognize its a PNT file and will know that the file coming in is in meters and the order ENZD then make the conversion.
