Converting CRS When Importing a Wavelet Field

When you are importing a wavelet field (in .wf file extension) 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 wavelet field

Import a wavelet field
  1. In the Control Panel, open the Import menu.
  2. Select Wavelets.
  3. Select the wavelet field (.wf file) that you want to import and click Open. The Coordinate Reference System conversion window will be displayed.

Select the type of coordinates

Select the type of coordinates

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

Convert wavelet field CRS to project CRS

Convert wavelet field CRS to project CRS
  1. Click Convert from to select the eastings/northings or latitude/longitude CRS of the wavelet field from the standard CRS table and click OK. This is the original wavelet field 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 wavelet fields at the same time, the CRS will be applied to all the wavelet fields.
