Populate Lon,Lat with Display X,Y
See Also
To populate the longitude,latitude fields of buses and substations with the locations of corresponding display objects converted to longitude,latitude using the selected projection, go to the Onelines ribbon tab, then on the Active ribbon group choose GIS Tools > Populate Lon,Lat with Display X,Y.
The Populate Lon,Lat with Display X,Y Dialog will be displayed. This can be done in either Edit or Run Mode. The dialog will show which map projection is currently in use for the oneline. Users should be careful to not change the map projection once one has been established so that all objects on the oneline are consistently using the same projection. If no projection has been set, the dialog shows None (x,y) as the Map Projection, selecting a map projection will establish that map projection as the current oneline map projection.
None (x,y)
No map projection is in use.
North American (simple conic)
This projection is better when dealing with longitude, latitude points in North America. This is the projection that has been used in Simulator for years in defining geographic borders and placing then on a oneline.
Entire World (Mercator)
This projection is better when dealing with longitude, latitude points spread throughout the world.
Alaska (Albers Conic)
This projection is better when dealing with longitude, latitude points spread in Alaska.
Click Populate Longitude,Latitude to complete the conversion. The longitude, latitude values converted from display x, y coordinates can be viewed on the bus and substation case information displays or the information dialogs.
