New Projects¶
Select the menu to open a new project.
If you have not saved an open project, a save confirmation message appears.
Create new from template - latitude and longitude coordinates¶
The coordinate system to be calculated is latitude-longitude coordinates.
If the project has not been saved, a save confirmation message appears.
Note
If you select latitude-longitude coordinates, the length in the longitude direction depends on the latitude. For more information, see FAQ/What is a Standard Geo Mesh?
-
When you select a menu, [Create new latitude and longitude coordinates] a dialog appears.
- Input Range: -85~85
- Input precision: 6 decimal places
- Based on the center latitude set by the user, the latitude and longitude lengths of the cubic mesh (about 1 km) are displayed.
The figure shows that Center latitude for 35 degrees, the cubic mesh has a latitudinal length of 924.505 m and a longitude length of 1141.102 m.
Note
If the value given by the user is not a multiple of 1/120 degree (a multiple of Center latitude 30 seconds), it will be corrected to a multiple of 1/120 degree. For the modified center latitude, please check the project properties Center latitude . This is because the latitude that a standard area mesh can take is limited to multiples of 1/120th of a degree (a multiple of 30 seconds).
-
Sets the center latitude of the calculated area.
-
[OK] Click the button to set the specified center latitude information to the project information.
You cannot change the center latitude information during project creation.
The project properties display the specified center latitude information.

Otherwise, click [cancel] the button to close the dialog.
Create new from template - UTM coordinates¶
Set the coordinate system to be calculated to UTM coordinates.
If the project has not been saved, a save confirmation message appears.
Select the menu to display the home screen.
This behavior is[New Projects] the same as if you select .
Open a project¶
When you select a menu, [Project selection] a dialog appears.
Select the project you want to open.
If you have not saved a previously open project, a save confirmation message appears.
Save Project¶
Save the project.
For new projects, a [Saving a project] dialog is displayed. Specify the save destination and save it.
If it is an existing project, save it over time.
