So if you are importing the northing and easting points then you are actually importing Y, X points. Hope i answer the Question :. Both format function is same only the difference is the understanding, Northing means Y and Easting means X. Northing Y and easting X numbers represent Universal Transverse Mercator coordinates, which are horizontal and vertical positions on a global map grid. The northing value is the vertical position and the easting value is the horizontal location.
This method of creating lines is often used by surveyors, who enter values to create layouts. Northing and easting values help you use known coordinates to draw maps more efficiently.
As you work with a map, you can easily change how you view the data it contains. When you're just browsing a map, you might want to pan and zoom around the data to investigate different areas and features. Most of the tools for navigating your data are found on the Tools toolbar. One of the special tools is called Go To XY. You can use this tool to type in x,y coordinates and navigate to them. Thankfully, when working the British Grid with its two-letter prefix it at least denotes which bit of the country you are in.
So, we always quote our British Grid sheet letters e. That's always always and not the sometimes always that happens after a few pints. Got it? Practical Use and Scale. It may prove useful to think of a grid reference's eastings and northings in terms of getting to work. If you work in The Gherkin, in London, then TQ 33 80 will be the area of the city you commute to, as it defines a 1km x 1km square, whilst TQ defines the smaller m x m square where your office building is, and the most precise TQ gives the point reference of your desk!
As an aide-memoire, if in your given grid reference there are:. The final word goes to Backshall determining the eastings and northings making up a 6 figure grid reference You know where you are. You can tell me where you are. Now where you are going and how do you get there? Have a gander at the 'compasses' and 'bearings' blog posts :.
Want to undock this palette? See our documentation on docking and undocking palettes such as the Grading, Irrigation, and Plant managers. If you want, you can edit a description for one or more points by selecting the point and then clicking Edit. We've also added a background mask to all these callouts, making them easier to read on a hatched or colored background.
Note that when you place these MLeader callouts, they will not match existing callouts of the same type. Here are two possible solutions to this minor issue:.
We've created "Legacy" commands that will allow you to fire the old style of each of these callouts as needed in your existing drawings:. That's because UTM coordinates use "false" easting and northing. Instead of designating an arbitrary origin for the coordinate system, they designate the central meridian of that zone as having a "value" of , meters; this allows coordinates both to the west of that meridian and to the east of the meridian to be positive, because by the time you've gone far enough west for your positive numbers to "run out," you're in a zone.
Similarly, the equator is designated with a northing or y value of 0 meters if you're in the Northern Hemisphere, or 10,, meters if you're in the Southern Hemisphere. That allows all northing values in your respective hemisphere to always be positive, too. The easiest way of doing is this is with an online lat long converter; see Resources for an example of a versatile system that supports many coordinate systems, including UTM coordinates and SPCS.
