Hello, everyone,
I'm an archaeologist and very often I'm confronted with the following task: I have to set up a square grid in the field (mostly consisting of 5 x 5, 10 x 10 or 20 x 20 meter squares), where usually two associated "source" points with exact coordinates are known. I mostly work with UTM projection and the bearing between them is easy to calculate.
What I usually need is to create a grid/fishnet in particular GIS software, then rotate it according to the calculated bearing, get the coordinates of the corner joints/vertices of each polygon and export the results in the form of a CSV table, which then I transfer to a GNSS-RTK unit. Years ago I created a spreadsheet for these calculations and it is still useful, but doing this with a GIS software is simpler and quicker.
I can easily do this in QGIS, but I'm missing there several features that are important to me so lately I've been considering switching to ArcGIS Pro. However, the task described is crucial, and I wanted to first find out if it's easy to accomplish in ArcGIS Pro with its in-built tools.
Thanks in advance!
