Converting Survey (Northing Easting) csv file into shp

Hi,

 

 

you should probably ask your csv file provider which coordinate system their data is in. While it is possible to guess, there is always a risk that data will be off, as there can be minute differences between different projections, etc. This is an error that is not always easy to detect, unfortunately.

 

 

To convert your numeric values into geometries for the shape file, use the 3DPointReplacer. Remember to specify the coordinate system on the writer.

 

 

You might have to get rid of the "GF" suffix on the elevation first, though. You can use the StringReplacer for that (replace with empty string).

Looks like that was all I needed.

 

 

Data was in NAD83, was able to do a nice convert and bring in the data.

 

 

I was thinking that it wasn't a 'regular' coordinate system, that it was maybe a northing/easting based upon a reference point or something.

 

 

Thanks!
