Step-by-Step Summary
Menu Options
- Input Columns: Select the input data in the left pane of the program window. Be sure you define your coordinate system and units. See Defining your Datasheet Coordinates for more information.
- X (Easting): Select the column that contains un-rotated easting coordinate.
- Y (Northing): Select the column that contains un-rotated northing coordinate.
- Output Columns: Select the desired output columns in the middle left pane of the program window. Any existing data in this column will be overwritten.
- X (Easting): Select the column in which to store rotated easting coordinates.
- Y (Northing): select the column in which to store rotated northing coordinates. Any existing data in this column will be overwritten.
- Pivot Point: All rotations are performed relative to this point. Rotation are performed in a clockwise direction.
- Easting: Enter the X coordinate at pivot point.
- Northing: Enter the Y coordinate at pivot point.
- Rotation Amount: Amount (clockwise) in which to rotate coordinates about pivot point. Rotations are performed relative to the rotation origin (pivot point).
- Decimals: Number of decimal places to use when saving x and y coordinates.
Step-by-Step Summary
- Access the RockWorks Utilities program tab.
- Open or create a data file that lists X and Y coordinates to be rotated.
- Choose the Utilities | Coords | Rotate XY Data menu option.
- Enter the requested menu items, described above.
- Click the Process button to continue.
The program will rotate each coordinate pair by the indicated amount, storing the new coordinates in the indicated columns.
