The Go-to Coordinate tool allows you to input coordinates using one coordinate system and output to different coordinate systems using multiple notation formats. You can input a coordinate to quickly pan-to and center on the corresponding location on the map or capture any coordinate location by clicking directly in your map view. The Go-to Coordinate tool appears when you are in the canvas view and is visible at all time
Go-to coordinate
You can pan-to and center on a coordinate by entering a coordinate in the input box. To Go-to a coordinate, complete the following steps:
- Open an imagery project or connect to the canvas.
- Locate the Go-to Coordinate tool at the bottom of the map view.
- Enter your coordinate and select a format using the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu. The default format is XY.
- Click Go.
A location pin centers and pans in your Map Focus Panel. If your Image Focus Panel is open, the location pin will center and pan on the image as long as it is in the extent.
- You can use the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu to change the format of your coordinate.
- Additionally, click Copy Coordinate to copy your coordinate or click Clear Coordinate to remove the coordinate from your imagery.
Note:
An error message appears if your coordinate is invalid or if your coordinate is outside your Image Focus extent.When you enter a new coordinate in the Go-to Coordinate tool, the location pin on your map will be removed.
Capture a coordinate
You can capture any coordinate location by clicking directly in your map view using the Capture Coordinate tool. To use the Capture Coordinate tool, complete the following steps:
- Open an imagery project or connect to the canvas.
- Locate the Go-to Coordinate tool at the bottom of the map view.
- Click Capture Coordinate.
Your mouse turns into a crosshair icon when in the capture mode.
- Click the map to capture coordinate at that location.
The coordinate appears in the Go-to Coordinate tool. A location pin centers and pans in your Map Focus Panel. If your Image Focus Panel is open, the location pin will center and pan on the image as long as it is in the image extent.
- You can use the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu to change the format of your coordinate. The default format is XY.
- Additionally, click Copy Coordinate to copy your coordinate or click Clear Coordinate to remove the coordinate from your imagery.
Note:
An error message appears if your coordinate is invalid or if your coordinate is outside your Image Focus extent.When you use the Capture Coordinate tool to search for a new coordinate, the location pin on your imagery will be removed.
