Transform Coordinates

This command translates and rotates the x,y coordinates of the structures in the sewer network model which can be used in case the coordinate system of the job is changed after creating the sewer network. The transform is defined by two pairs of source and destination points. The first pair of points defines the translation. The second pair defines the rotation by the angular difference between the angle of the two source points and the angle of the two destination points. The rotation pivot point is the first destination point. The points can be entered by point number from the current coordinate file or by typing in the coordinates. This transformation works similar to the Align Points command in the Points menu.

The program reports the amount of translation and rotation at the command line. The program creates a backup of the original sewer network model by copying the original .sew file to a .bak file of the same name.
