I was working with a customer this week where they created a Java Applet that was very similar to what we are trying to do with this Addin.

One feature they had that I do not think we do is the ability to let the user enter any coordinates and the tool just understands what the coordinate type has been entered instead of having to choose the coordinate type.

By default, UTM should not have "m" in the output. That should only be added if the user customizes it. This follows suit for the Map and Pro Add-ins.

@jmccausland @mcalamito When adding a new coordinate to the add-in the name should default to the name of the coordinate instead of Temp. As a user Temp does not make sense. We want to take as much of the leg work out of the add-in for the end user as possible.

I understand that all names have to be unique, but the default should be set to the coordinate type.

When the Lat or Long is zero there are no leading zeros shown in the DD, DDM and DMS outputs.

Having the ability to capture all coordinates that are being viewed in the tool dialog could be useful to the end user.

Users might need to have the ability to use GEOREF coordinate type in both add-ins

README.md - "Getting Started with the Coordinate Tool Addin (.NET)" should mention AddIn is available in ArcGIS/coordinate-tool-addin-dotnet\application folder. As it reads now, I thought it had to be compiled by user.

README should indicate Pro 1.2 is required for latest Coordinate Tool, currently it references Pro 1.1 as being required.

Customer Feedback from on-site visit on 18FEB2016. Currently the Flash button pans-to and creates a graphic at the coordinate location. What if the graphic is the same symbology as a feature at the same location? When clicking the "Flash" button, the user thought it would act just like the inherent "Flash" call in ArcMap.

This isn't identical to Issue #67, but does overlap when speaking about the graphic being placed in the Data Frame.

Please remove any pre-compiled addins from the repository.

I noticed that the icon size and text font/input size is extremely large in ArcMap on high resolution displays. I remember at one point we had to make high resolution icons for the toolbars, not sure if this is related.

This screenshot is from my laptop with a 3200X1800 resolution.

Direct Customer feedback - They would like to be able to Pan-to the coordinate entered when clicking the Enter button on the keyboard. If the coordinate they enter is out of the Data Frame View, they will never see it flashing. This occurs very often.

@jmccausland @mcalamito When adding the default coordinate format there is a m following the easting and northing. Here is an example:

50N 266013m 3826095m

This format should be done with a space not with a m.

Currently the "Convert Coordinate Notation" tool does batch conversion for tables or feature classes. This new add-in is much more dynamic and a batch conversion that follows the user experience of this new add-in should be considered. From a user perspective: How would I best convert a list of twenty target coordinates that I received in an email?

• ArcGIS Pro 1.2
• ArcMap 10.3.1

The Coordinate Tool - Readme (and other doc) - Custom Formatters - Spatial Reference is not documented. Is the intent of this tool to allow user to change aspects of the converted coordinates, such as datum? Changed the data to GCS_OSGB_1936 as used in issue #23 - results are inconclusive.

Please add and document JUnit tests for use in our daily builds.

Documentation can look similar to this repo(s):

In the Sample of the Edit Output Coordinate tool it displays the incorrect Grid Segment ("FH" in the screenshot) but correctly shows the "FT" in the Tool

The Flash Tool works great in identifying the point on the map (Red Star in ArcGIS Pro, Green Diamond in ArcMap).

Attempting to remove the graphic, however, is proving difficult. In ArcMap, I have to clear graphics from the Draw toolbar. In ArcGIS Pro, I can't seem to clear the graphic.

I would suggest either engineering the flash to clear itself automatically, or add a "Flash Clear" button.

This is a fresh install of the coordinate tool from today (February 19th, 2016).
ArcGIS Pro 1.2 (Build 5022)
ArcMap 10.4 Final (Build 5524)

• The add-in should be called Coordinate Conversion ArcMap 10.3.1
• The add-in should be called Coordinate Conversion ArcGIS Pro 1.2
• The repo should be called coordinate-conversion-addin

An example for formatting string in README.md needs to be updated:

Example : "+-Y0.0 +-X0.0" will output "+41.1 -78.2"

Should read:
Example : "Y+-0.0 X+-0.0" will output "+41.1 -78.2"

When the Northing (and Easting?) 5 digit has a leading zeros then it fails to put in the 5 digits
For instance using 51.412979931379638 0.0057022423779276915 the returned MGRS is missing the 4 leading zeros in the Northings

The Coord Tool assumes that the local GCS is GCS_WGS_1984 and makes no correction should the Data Frame be in another datum such as when the projection is British National Grid. There is no indication to the user that the coordinates are not suitable for use with other systems which would be assuming GCS_WGS_1984.

Attached is a text CSV file which has the coordinates in GCS_OSGB_1936, BNG and GCS_WGS_1984 as generated by Projection Engine and using the OSGB_1936_To_WGS_1984_7 transformation.

Coords.txt

Each category currently has 1 default format.
There are many more common formats, it would be useful to have some more defaults.
This would prevent people from having to create their own custom format and would show them more examples of how to use the custom format expression.

For example.

DD with +/-
MGRS with Spaces

Coordinate Tool - Edit Output Coordinate - Advanced - the example indicates "+-Y0.0 +-X0.0" will show the sign of the X or Y, but it does not produce negative longitude in western hemisphere, unless you click south of the equator

@jmccausland When adding the DD type in ArcGIS Pro the default label is Temp. It should be DD.

Feedback came from (Eric Rice) that we might want to use a view instead of a pane.

@jmccausland says that he does not see an option for a view.

@topowright will get more clarity for our developers on what Eric meant by his comments and see if there are options that i can share.

Installed Add-in 2/5 9:30 AM est.

Format string:
A0:B0:C0.0/X0:Y0:Z0.0 produces: 34:1:2.4/117:12:45.7
A0-B0-C0.0/X0-Y0-Z0.0 produces: 3412.4/117-1245.7

Dashes work fine in MGRS.

We have an Web Page Help example in the WAB CT widget for formatting DMS with dashes and a slash between lat/lon. I tried to replicate in the desktop addin, and can't get it to work. Other characters like ":" or "+" work, but not "-".

Current version - downloaded today:

README graphic on repo

Edit Output coordinate - does not keep "custom" name if additional "configure" is needed. I make a custom Output called DD_sign using: Y+-0.0 X+-0.0 and click Ok. I decide that I want to tweek it a bit, so I click "configure". "Name" defaults to DD, and DD_sign does not persist. I have to remember to type in DD_sign, or other name, though a message reminds me that DD already exists, so it does not overwrite DD (good). Can/should the Name DD_sign, persist in the configure form?

If we are giving the user the ability to add multiple Coordinate Outputs of the same Coordinate Type, we should add the ability to have a custom name. Otherwise, there is not much of a use case. Why? If I add two DD Coordinates, and I customize one of them, the both DD coordinates update. Therefore, there is no unique benefit to having multiple coordinate outputs of the same type unless we can make each of them unique.

Follow direction from management the repository will be renamed to match name of the addin and will now be coordinate-conversion-addin-dotnet. This could cause issues with any existing forks, and it is therefore recommended that you re-fork the repository.

Since there are no open Pull Requests, the only thing I would only like to do is drop any dead feature branches. @jmccausland can we remove any unused ones in the next hour or so?

With latest build, the Add button is not work on 2 systems that I have checked.

As a user enters coordinates we should have a running log of those coordinates entered and allow for someone to go back and use a previously entered coordinate. When they select that coordinate it should display in the all the current outputs just like they had typed it in fresh.

This will allow for cases where someone changed the conversion properties or add new outputs after they already input coordinates.
We do not need to save this history between sessions.

• Add tool tip for last five coordinate drop down icon
• Possibly add New Coordinate instead of just add

We need to have continuity across all of our add-ins. We need to change this icon to the same icon that we are using on the Distance and Direction and the Visibility add-ins.

If user adds graphics via Draw menu to the map, then clicks the Flash tool on Coordinate Calculator (Coordinate Tool), the users graphics are erased. Tested with point, poly, ellipse, line.

Currently, live coordinates are only captured and displayed when the Coordinate Conversion Addin is in focus and the Map Point Tool has been enabled. The user hover the mouse over the Data Frame and populate coordinates. As soon as another tool (select elements, information tool, selection tool, etc.) is enabled, coordinate capture ceases. Is there anyway to keep this going in the background until the user proactively disables the Map Point Tool to lock into a specific coordinate?

Coordinate tool stays active in ArcMap Layout mode, but returns layout page coordinates, rather than map coordinates.

utm_basics_20070319.docx
Using the NGA Guide I plotted the suggested MGRS using the XY Tool on a map based on GCS_WGS_1984. I also turned the Coordinate Frame to show MGRS in the bottom right corner. The plot and coordinates matched. I then used the Coordinate Tool to show the location and it produced the MGRS that one would expect for NAD27 or something based on Clarke 1866 Spheroid.

I suspect that the issue lies with the Mode being incorrectly portrayed. One would expect esriMGRSModeEnum.esriMGRSMode_NewStyle to be correct but if you use esriMGRSModeEnum.esriMGRSMode_Automatic or esriMGRSModeEnum.esriMGRSMode_USNG (which additionally adds spaces) then the result is correct.

There are 4 active uses of esriMGRSModeEnum.esriMGRSMode_NewStyle and one commented out that I suggest need updating.

Customer Feedback from on-site visit on 18FEB2016. Multiple users docked their Coordinate Tool window underneath the Table of Contents. This was their initial workflow/instinct. Neither right or wrong, this is the location that they placed it. In doing so, the Table of Contents had to be expanded in order to see the full output of coordinates in their output list. This reduced the amount of room the user had in their analyst window (Data Frame window).

If wanting to eliminate buttons, a few options could be to create Right-click options per Output row to allow the user to Configure and Delete/Remove the Coordinate Output. This would eliminate two buttons on the row. Buttons could also be combined into an over-arching settings button near the top of the Coordinate Tool window. There are numerous ways that this could be implemented, but just some ideas based on the users initial feedback regarding the buttons.

The tool icon for the Coordinate Conversion tool is the generic blue button. Should have an icon for Coordinate Conversion.

Versions for add-in

Rename the esriAddIn filename to ArcMapAddinCoordinateConversion.

Currently it is ArcMapAddinCoordinateTool.esriAddIn and I believe it should be consistent with the recent name changes.
