Need help finding a program that will convert lattitude and longitude to northing and easting coordinates.

Thanks,

Do you have Civil 3D?  It can do that.

I have Civel 3D 2011

How do you make the conversion in Civil 3D?

If you set the Zone to your current zone in the "Units and Zone" tab in drawing settings, it will do the conversion for you.

Make a label that calls out northing/easting.  Then insert the label using the Lat-Long transparent command ('LL)

You can create a label that will give you all the info you will need.  Or set a point. (See attached)

We have verified these numbers using WinCorps.

Hope that helps.

If you have a bunch of point coordinates in Lat/Long format, then you may want to look into defining a new Point File Format.  Then you can import your Lat/Long coordinate file, and during the import, the Lat/Long values will be converted to the coordinate zone set in your Drawing Settings.  There have been a few threads recently on this subject (you may want to try Google Search, and then limit the search to the "forums.autodesk.com" domain - that often gives better results than using the "Search" functionality here in the forums).
