I have a layer of plot features in ArcGIS 9.3 that I want the UTM coordinates for. So I used the Feature to Point tool and then added XY coordinates to each point. I then viewed the Attribute table and noticed the coordinates don't make sense.
Here is the information about my map/projection:
Projected Coordinate System: NAD_1983_StatePlane_North_Carolina_FIPS_3200_FeetProjection: Lambert_Conformal_ConicFalse_Easting: 2000000.00261667False_Northing: 0.00000000Central_Meridian: -79.00000000Standard_Parallel_1: 34.33333333Standard_Parallel_2: 36.16666667Latitude_Of_Origin: 33.75000000Linear Unit: Foot_USGeographic Coordinate System: GCS_North_American_1983Datum: D_North_American_1983Prime Meridian: GreenwichAngular Unit: DegreeI realize the units are in feet (and I ultimately want meters for UTM), so I converted my X and Y to meters by dividing each value by 0.3048 in an excel spreadsheet.
The resulting units end up in the Pacific Ocean (they're supposed to be in NC in the U.S.).
Examples of my coordinates (from ArcGIS, so they're in feet):
X Coord Y Coord2008821.00994000000 823231.186635000002008796.70771000000 823457.50968900000...converted to meters:
X Coord Y Coord612288.6438 250920.8657612281.2365 250989.849What am I missing here?
I'm an ArcGIS novice.
