Coordinate System Information in MapLink Pro Studio

Information about the coordinate system required for your finished map, or about the individual datasets used to create your map, can be selected from pre-defined coordinate systems stored in MapLink Pro Studio. Alternatively, you can create and apply your own 'user-defined' coordinate systems. These may combine any of the supported projections and datums and can incorporate any false easting and northing, map rotation and/ or scaling required.

To view the coordinate systems supported in MapLink Pro Studio:

Select Map | Output Coordinate System
Click Select...

Browse through the 'MapLink Pro Studio Coordinate System' section. To view the projection and datum details for one of the systems:

Highlight it and click Details
Click Cancel to the browser
