Coordinate Menu Widget - New !

[Drew]

Hello Everyone,
I created a new widget that you might find useful.
Tucked away in the map context menu are three XY operations

   1.     Copy XY
   2.     Project XY (configurable)
   3.     Go To XY

ReadMe.txt included

Hope you find it useful!

Click Here to demo and download the Coordinate Menu Widget

Hi Andrew

Firstly - awesome widget, has gotten great use around our team. I have now got the job of building a viewer for a company that have their own projected coordinate system (no WKID) and I was wondering if I can somehow use it with your widget?

I have had a look at the ReadMe.txt however not much luck.

Thanks heaps 🙂

Dominique,

The tool i created does not support this functionality and I think it would be tricky to do with my current widget.
Your best bet might be to create a custom GP service to handle this..

No problem - thanks for replying to me. Ill give the GP service a go :cool:

Hi Andrew,

Great little widget, use it all the time.

Was wondering if you have plans to port this to the pre-release3 API any time?

Thanks,

Andrew,

Looks like others have helped.  It has been ported over here:

Thanks for the info. 
Just like that post says, all you have to do is update the projector.as file to use ProjectParameters.
I am still hoping to update the widget in the near future and might change some of its core functionality.

Is there a way to change the units of a coordinate system?  People in my organization occasionally try to utilize UTM feet.  Yes I hate it too and typically go on one of my rants when they do but it doesn't stop them.  Is there a way to support UTM feet? 

<coordinateSystem name="UTM Zone13 Meters NAD 1983" wkid="26913" decimals="2"/>

I think I am hoping there is a way to modify the coordinate system units to US Survey feet.  Is there an unpublished protocol I don't know about?

If there is no wkid that supports that format  the widget can not convert it.
