COORD_ORDER problem

geodesist

I have GM 14.1.2. I always import files as Y,X. I have had several instances recently where the .gmw files that I save have COORD_ORDER="YES" rather than COORD_ORDER="Y FIRST". Then, when I open that file next time I get the message:

WARNING: Unknown COORD_ORDER value,X_FIRST will be used.

for all of the csv files I am using, and of course these points are somewhere far away (reversed X and Y).

If I edit the .gmw file to change the "YES" to "Y_FIRST", it works fine.

That was a bug in v14.1.2. If you get the latest (v14.1.6) from Global Mapper Downloads the correct value should be written out.

Thanks,
