Change Units

  • 1.  Change Units

    Posted 08-01-2022 10:54
    Hello,

    I conducted a survey using a s8 total station in June with the job file units set to feet. I went back to collect additional data this month however the job units were set to meters which I did not realize. Since I resectioned to two points that were measured from my first survey (collected in feet), the data from this survey is condensed into a tiny area are has incorrect northings and eastings. The two points I resectioned to, I keyed in, but keyed in the northings and eastings as they were measured in feet, but the job I keyed them into was measuring in meters. 
    I have went back and fixed the job units and the control points (that I resectioned to), but I am not sure how to get the other points to recalculate. If I just change the units, it appears to just take the existing number and convert it to feet, not recalcuate the measurement. 

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
