Coordinates in DMS format

allwinaugustine — Fri, 15 Nov 2024 08:11:51 GMT

I got this lisp code from online (www.cadlispandtips.com) showing coordinates in UTM format.

Can someone edit it to show coordinates in DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) format ?

It may require a prompt to ask Zone and Hemisphere(N/S), Not sure.

What should be the format of the information? It must involve a distance as well as a DMS angle. It should be simple to forget the 'enx' and 'eny' variables, and replace this line:

(command "leader" enp1 ptl "" (strcat "E " enx) (strcat "N " eny) "")

with different text content. But where does the distance go in relation to the angle, some symbol between them or on different lines, how many decimal places in the distance [or what denominator fraction], how many [if any] in the seconds part of the angle, etc.?

"show coordinates in DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Seconds) " are you talking about Latitude & Longitude which can be DDDMMSS or DDD.xxxxxxxx decimal.

So you want lat & long ? This is not a here is answer much more complicated depends on where you are in the world with reference to the spot of the co-ordinates not where you live.

Google convert co-ords to Laitutude & Longitude.

If your using CIV3D can be done.
