Coordinate conversion
Which is the best practice for coordinate conversion of the features / shape files?
I often use the following method
- Import the xy from excel (know coordinate system)
- Event layer to shape file
- Data Management Tools --> Projections and Transformations --> Project - To get the output data in the required coordinate system selected.
- Calculate Geometry in newly added fields to get the x&y values of new coordinate system
A second method :
- Import the xy from excel (know coordinate system)
- Event layer to shape file
- Open a new map,
- Assign the required coordinate system to the data frame
