I'm a little disconcerted that I just noticed this after using the Triumph-LS for years now.
When exporting data, the default coordinate system of the export is the coordinate system of the active page. And when using Batch Export (which I use a lot), the LS exports data in the coordinate system of the active page without asking.
I would REALLY REALLY REALLY like the default export coordinate system to be the Project Coordinate System instead.
I often use different pages, each with its own localized coordinate system for retracing previous surveys. I import my "best guess" linework of each old survey to its own page and add to its localization as I find monuments like Shawn shows in his videos. So now if I have one of those pages active when I export points, all my DPOS-corrected RTK points get shifted to fit the "best guess" of the old survey instead of the other way around. If my best guess is close, I may not notice the difference.
It's nice to be able to easily export in any coordinate system, but the default ought to be something safe because I'm likely to hit the Export button without even thinking about it.
