a coordinate system

A coordinate system is a service object for point, segment and polygon maps, and for georeferences of raster maps.

A coordinate system contains information on the kind of coordinates you are using in your maps; you may for instance use user-defined coordinates, coordinates defined by a national standard or coordinates of a certain UTM zone. A coordinate system defines the possible XY- or LatLon-coordinates that can be used in your maps. It is advised to use one coordinate system for all your maps.

To create a coordinate system:

The Create Coordinate System dialog box appears.
