All of the basic functionality available for single point conversions in the Interactive Point Conversions tab can also be applied to point database files.

The Point Database Conversion Job allows you to convert data records that are in a table format. Other Point Database jobs include:

Point Database Forward Inverse - Calculates paths between positions in tabular numeric coordinates
Point Database Scale and Translate - Allows for conversion and transformation of tabular numeric coordinates by manually entering in the parameters of the desired transformation
Point Database Derive Datum Shift - Allows you to calculate a 3 or 7 parameter coordinate transformation between two geodetic coordinate systems
Point Database Best Fit - Derives a polynomial transformation relating two coordinate systems together, based on geodetically-based control points
