Change the Coordinate Reference System (CRS)

Follow these steps to change the CRS of a project already established in Connect with Connect Settings and Project Details.

You must determine if this requires any coordinate conversion.
  1. If all coordinates in the project are correct, and only the information about which CRS they are in is wrong, then no coordinate conversion is required. You can change the CRS in Connect, then go into Connect Settings and Project Details and select Update.
    Users will receive the change on their next Receive operation.
  2. If you want to change to another CRS when the coordinates are already in the CRS that is currently set in Connect and Civil Extension, then the coordinates need to be converted. Since you cannot directly modify the CRS of an existing project, you must create a new project and import your existing data. For example:
    1. Download a workset of your current project, Project A. For information, see Find the Location of a Workset.
    2. Close Workset A.
    3. Create a new project, Project B, with correct CRS (both for Connect and Civil Extension).
    4. Download a workset of Project B.
    5. Use Import to import workset A into B, by selecting the QuadriModel file located where the workset is located.
    6. After selecting the file, select the correct CRS conversion.
