Converting CRS When Importing a Mute

When you are importing a mute that uses a different CRS from the CRS you have defined for a project, Insight is able to convert it to the project CRS.

Import a mute

Import a mute
  1. In the Control Panel, Select Import menu.
  2. Click Mutes.
  3. Select the mute you want to import and click Open. The Coordinate Reference System conversion window will be displayed.

Note: When you import a mute which was previously exported from a project with a CRS defined, Insight will not display the Coordinate Reference System conversion window. This is because Insight adds the CRS information to the mute file during export and the importer knows the CRS to be converted from during import of the mute.

Select the type of coordinates

Select the type of coordinates

At Type of coordinates, select Eastings / Northings if the mute is using the eastings/northings coordinates or Latitude/Longitude if it is using the latitude/longitude coordinates.

Convert mute CRS to project CRS

Convert mute CRS to project CRS
  1. Click Convert from to select the eastings/northings or latitude/longitude CRS of the mute from the standard CRS table and click OK. This is the original mute CRS which will be converted to the project CRS. The CRS of the project is defined when you create a project (see Creating a Project).
  2. Click OK to process the conversion.

Note: If you are importing multiple mutes at the same time, the CRS will be applied to all the mutes.
