The coordinate entry dialog is designed for creating the geometry of a map object using the known coordinate values of its defining points. The input and editing of an object's coordinates can be performed in either a left-handed Cartesian (X – up, Y – right) or a geodetic (latitude B, longitude L) coordinate system. Switching to the geodetic coordinate system is only possible if the current map supports conversion from the Cartesian coordinate system. The Spline option enables (or disables) the dynamic spline property for the edited object. The contour of such objects is rendered on the screen as a dynamic spline, either as an envelope or a defining curve.

The input and editing of map object points can be performed in one of the following modes: • Cartesian Coordinates • Geodetic Coordinates • Cartesian Coordinate Increments (ΔX, ΔY) • Directional Angle and Distance • Azimuth and Distance • Left Turn Angle and Distance • Right Turn Angle and Distance • Rhumb (Bearing) and Distance • Mode switching is allowed during the input process.
Geodetic Coordinate Format (B, L) In geodetic coordinate input mode, coordinate values can be represented in one of three formats: • D M S.s (Degrees, Minutes, and Seconds with tenths, e.g., 55° 24' 15.643") • D M.m (Degrees and Minutes with tenths, e.g., 55° 24.261206') • D.d (Degrees with tenths, e.g., 55.404345°)
Angular Value Ranges Entered directional angles can take the following values: • Directional Angle: 0-360° clockwise from North. • Right/Left Turn Angle: 0-360°. • Rhumb (Bearing): 0-90° (NE – clockwise from North, SE – counterclockwise from South, NW – counterclockwise from North, SW – clockwise from South).

Object Semantics When creating a point object by entering coordinates, enabling the Show Object Semantics option allows you to set the semantic characteristics for the created object. The table displays the semantics assigned to the object by the classifier. To create multiple point objects, you can enter coordinates for several points and assign semantics in a single table. Multiple objects will be saved to the map based on this data.
3D Metric, M, and F Coordinates If the created object contains a 3D metric, the input of the point's absolute height (H) becomes automatically available. Additionally, it is possible to enter values for the M coordinate (a real number) and the F coordinate (an integer).

Copy Selected Table Content to Clipboard (Ctrl+C)
Paste from Clipboard (Ctrl+V): The data format in the clipboard must match the display format in the table
Copy Selected Object Points to Clipboard: Regardless of the table display format, only the Cartesian coordinates of the points are copied
Paste Object Points from Clipboard (only content copied using the copy selected object points mode)
Save Object to Exchange Format (txt, met, xyh, tx3)
Define Absolute Height (H) from Elevation Matrix. Determines the height for all points where it is missing. To redefine the height for all points, including those that already have one, the height values must first be deleted

Interpolate H (M, F) from First to Last Point. Values for the first and last points must be entered beforehand.
Perform Linear Interpolation of H between Points with H Values. Values must be entered for at least the first and last point beforehand.
Perform Spline Interpolation of H between Points with H Values. Values must be entered for at least the first and last point beforehand.
