RockWorks | Utilities | Coords Menu
Use the programs in the Utilities | Coords menu to perform a variety of coordinate conversions on data listed in the Utilities datasheet or typed into the program window. This topic summarizes the tools that are available - click on a link for more information.
- Coordinate Converter (Single Point): Translates a single coordinate pair from one coordinate system to another.
- Coordinate Converter (Multiple Points): Translates multiple coordinate pairs listed in the datasheet from one coordinate system to another.
- Polar -> XY: Translates location coordinates listed in a polar coordinate format (bearing and distance) to X,Y coordinates in a Cartesian coordinate format, assuming a fixed reference point
- XY -> Polar: Translates X,Y locations in a Cartesian coordinate format to a polar coordinate format (bearing and distance) assuming a fixed reference point
- XYZ -> Polar: Converts a list of xyz coordinates into a borehole-style list of polar coordinates (i.e. distance, bearing, inclination)
- Azimuth -> Quadrant: Translates decimal-style azimuth bearings (i.e. 135) into quadrant-style bearings (i.e. S45E)
- Quadrant -> Azimuth: Translates quadrant-style bearings (i.e. S45E) into decimal-style azimuth bearings (i.e. 135)
- Rescale XY Data: Rescales X,Y location coordinates by a user-declared real number value
- Rotate XY Data: Rotates X,Y location coordinates by a user-declared amount around a user-declared "pivot" point
- Shift XY Data: Shifts the X,Y location coordinates by a user-declared amount in both the X and Y directions
- PLSS Polygons-> XY : Computes X,Y coordinates for each corner of leases that are listed with Range, Township, Section descriptions.
- Compute Origin Lon/Lat for Local Coordinate System: Computes the 0,0 lon/lat point for a local coordinate system, given a known point.
- Dates -> Stardates: Translates dates listed as month/year, month/day/year, or day/month/year into a decimal-style "stardate"
- Time Merge: Computes X,Y coordinates to datasets that only have a "timestamp" using a GPS file
