Quick Tour II - Creating a Leica GSI16 Output - Thematical Codes
We now need to define the Formatting options for the coordinate
export variables.
Since the easting, northing and height will all have exactly the same
settings, it is more efficient to set the default format settings that will
be applied to every subsequently selected export variable than to
enter each export variable and then individually set the format
settings for each variable.
ØFrom the Options menu or from the Toolbar select Defaults
Set the format options as shown below.
It is quite possible that a coordinate system could be used that may
produce negative values for any of the coordinate values. For this
reason the correct sign must always be included in the output.
ØChoose Always for the Sign.
A length of 17 is required because the sign of the export variable is
included in the export variable. Thus we will have 16 actual numeric
characters for the coordinate value and one character for the sign.
A precision of 0 is required because we do not want a decimal
point or any decimal values in the output.
ØSet the Length to 17 and the Precision to 0.
Notice that we have set the length of the output to be 17. However,
if the actual length of the coordinate value that is output contains only
12 characters then the "missing" characters need to be filled. The
choice is to fill with either 0 or spaces. For a GSI format the spaces
need to be filled with 0.
ØSet the Fill character to be 0.
ØEnsure to select the Use for every new format option.
