Generate Coordinate Notations (Defense)

ArcGIS Pro 3.4 | | Help archive

Summary

Converts source coordinates in a table to multiple coordinate formats.

The tool uses an input table with coordinates and outputs a new table with fields for the following coordinate formats: Decimal Degrees, Degrees and Decimal Minutes, Degrees Minutes and Seconds, Global Area Reference System, World Geographic Reference System, Universal Transverse Mercator, United States National Grid, and Military Grid Reference System.

Usage

  • The output table maintains the original fields of the input table and adds text fields for the converted notations, including the following:

    • DDLat—Decimal Degrees latitude field
    • DDLon—Decimal Degrees longitude field
    • DDMLat—Degree and Decimal Minutes latitude field
    • DDMLon—Degree and Decimal Minutes longitude field
    • DMSLat—Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds latitude field
    • DMSLon—Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds longitude field
    • UTM_BANDS—Universal Transverse Mercator Bands
    • MGRS—Military Grid Reference System
    • USNG—United States National Grid
    • GARS—Global Area Reference System
    • GEOREF—World Geographic Reference System

Parameters

LabelExplanationData Type
Input Table

The table containing the source coordinates.

Table View
Output Table

The output table containing the converted coordinates.

Table
X Field (longitude, UTM, MGRS, USNG, GARS, GEOREF)

The field in the input table containing the x or longitude coordinates.

Field
Input Coordinate Format

Specifies the format of the input table coordinates.

  • Decimal Degrees - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a decimal degrees coordinate pair stored in a single field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Decimal Degrees - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a decimal degrees coordinate pair stored in two table fields. This is the default.
  • Degrees and Decimal Minutes - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees and decimal minutes coordinate pair stored in a single table field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Degrees and Decimal Minutes - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees and decimal minutes coordinate pair stored in two table fields.
  • Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds - One FieldCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees, minutes, and seconds coordinate pair stored in a single table field with coordinates separated by a space, comma, or slash.
  • Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds - Two FieldsCoordinates will be formatted in a degrees, minutes, and seconds coordinate pair stored in two table fields.
  • Global Area Reference SystemCoordinates will be formatted in Global Area Reference System.
  • World Geographic Reference System Coordinates will be formatted in World Geographic Reference System.
  • Universal Transverse Mercator BandsCoordinates will be formatted in Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate bands.
  • Universal Transverse Mercator ZonesCoordinates will be formatted in Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate zones.
  • United States National GridCoordinates will be formatted in United States National Grid.
  • Military Grid Reference SystemCoordinates will be formatted in Military Grid Reference System.
String
Y Field (latitude)
(Optional)

The field in the input table containing the y or latitude coordinates.

The Y Field (latitude) parameter is used when the Input Coordinate Format parameter is set to Decimal Degrees - Two Fields, Degrees and Decimal Minutes - Two Fields, or Degrees Minutes and Seconds - Two Fields.

Field
Output Coordinate System
(Optional)

The spatial reference of the coordinates in the output table. The default is GCS_WGS_1984.
