How to set a coordinate system with a single button?

If you often need to change or assign a coordinate system in your drawings (maps), you may need a commandline version of the coord.systems command in Map (a dialog-based command by default).

You can use e.g. the following LISP macro:

  
(defun C:SetWGS ()  
(setvar "CMDDIA" 0)  
(command "ADESETCRDSYS" "_ses" "LL84" "_ex")  
(setvar "CMDDIA" 1)  
(princ)  
)

The newly defined command SetWGS can be then assigned to a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut.

Another - simpler method is to use the LISP function:

  
(ade_projsetwscode "LL84")
