The Go-to Coordinate tool allows you to input coordinates using one coordinate system and output to different coordinate systems using multiple notation formats. You can input a coordinate to quickly pan-to and center on the corresponding location on the map or capture any coordinate location by clicking directly in the map view. The Go-to Coordinate tool appears when you are in the canvas view and is visible at all times.
Go to a coordinate
You can pan to and center on a coordinate by entering a coordinate in the input box. To go to a coordinate, complete the following steps:
- Open an imagery project or connect to the canvas.
- Locate the Go-to Coordinate tool at the bottom of the map view.
- Enter a coordinate and select a format using the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu.
The default format is XY.
- Click Go.
A location pin centers and pans in the Map Focus Panel. If the Image Focus Panel is open, the location pin will center and pan on the image as long as it is in the extent.
- Use the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu to change the format of the coordinate.
- Click Copy Coordinate to copy the coordinate or click Clear Coordinate to remove the coordinate from the imagery.
Note:
An error message appears if the coordinate is invalid or if the coordinate is outside the Image Focus extent.When you enter a new coordinate in the Go-to Coordinate tool, the location pin on the map will be removed.
Capture a coordinate
You can capture any coordinate location by clicking directly in the map view using the Capture Coordinate tool. To use the Capture Coordinate tool, complete the following steps:
- Open an imagery project or connect to the canvas.
- Locate the Go-to Coordinate tool at the bottom of the map view.
- Click Capture Coordinate.
The pointer turns into crosshairs when in the capture mode.
- Click the map to capture the coordinate at that location.
The coordinate appears in the Go-to Coordinate tool. A location pin centers and pans in the Map Focus Panel. If the Image Focus Panel is open, the location pin will center and pan on the image as long as it is in the image extent.
- Use the Select Coordinate Format drop-down menu to change the format of the coordinate. The default format is XY.
- Click Copy Coordinate to copy the coordinate or click Clear Coordinate to remove the coordinate from the imagery.
Note:
An error message appears if a coordinate is invalid or if a coordinate is outside the Image Focus extent.When you use the Capture Coordinate tool to search for a new coordinate, the location pin on the imagery will be removed.
