The workspace dialog allows you to define the workspace area by setting the lower left and upper right corner coordinates. You can choose to select the current view as workspace area by pressing "Pick Current View" or you can scale the workspace area to the data by pressing "Pick Full Extent of Data".
The workspace area is specified in either map projection coordinates or geographical coordinates:
· The workspace area is defined in easting/northing if the working map projection combobox is set to e.g. WGS_1984_UTM_Zone_32N or OSGB (projected coordinate system)
· The workspace area is defined in degrees only if the map projection combobox is set to LONG/LAT.
The working map projection can be changed by using the combobox. If the map projection is changed all geo-referenced objects are mapped to the new working map projection.
You furthermore have the options to select and display geographical grids and to lock the workspace.
