The Tipster: 12d Model New Projection Panel

Upgrading to 12d Model 15 brings an important change to how cartographic projections are managed.

In this video, we take a closer look at the new 12d Carto file and what this means for users working with their own projection files.

You’ll learn:

  • How to convert your existing .4d Carto file to the new 12d Carto format
  • How shipped projections are now carried through from the standard 12d Carto file
  • What you need to consider when selecting projections from the new file
  • How to add your own projections while avoiding unnecessary duplication
  • Why the new XML-based format makes it easier to introduce additional fields in future versions

While the change may require a little adjustment when upgrading, the new approach is designed to simplify future upgrades and make managing projections more efficient.

Watch the video to understand what’s changed in 12d Model 15 and how you can prepare your existing projection setup.
