Create
File Header
Although
the GEOTRANS coordinate file format is very simple, creating the header for an
input coordinate file manually can be an error prone process. To automate this,
you can use the Create File Header command, which is located in the File menu,
as follows:
1. Select the Create File Header command from
the File menu. The Create File Header
window will appear.
2. In the Create File Header window, specify the
datum, the coordinate reference system type, and any associated parameters for
the input coordinate file that you desire.
Then click the Create button, which will cause a standard file Save As
dialog box to appear.
3. In the Save As dialog box, specify a file
name and directory for the resulting coordinate file header. Click on the Save button to
cause the file to be created, and return to the GEOTRANS main window.
The
resulting file will contain the specified header information. This header can then be attached to an
existing text file of coordinates to create a GEOTRANS input coordinate file.
