Difference Easting,Northing and Grid Eastin, Grid Northing

[alfonsoz]

Friends I am from Peru, I speak Spanish, sorry if I do not write correctly, it is the first time that I write to this English forum, I write here because I know that here are the best in Civil 3D.

I have been analyzing the values ​​of Easting, Northing, Grid Easting, Grid Northing a lot, I want to know if my analysis is correct:

Civil 3D in model space draws the topographic coordinates (coordinates on the ground with no scale factor applied) and does not draw the UTM coordinates as everyone believes. By applying the Sea Level Scale Factor and Grid Scale Factor values ​​in the Transformation tab I get my values ​​in Grid Easting and Grid Northing.

I would like to know please if anyone has analyzed this and know if I am correct.

Hi @alfonsoz ,

Thank you for posting your question in the Civil 3D forum. 🙂 Your English is great.

I've created this article few years back but I believe it may provide you some answers.

How to generate Local Easting and Local Northing for COGO points in Civil 3D?

By the way, we do have a Civil 3D - Español - Autodesk Community

Feel free to check it out.
