Howdy, Survey Crew!
Just got a job which will be using a LDP, so I started poking around in the LS+ to see if there was a straightforward way to simply drop the parameters in and hit the ground running.
It appears that there are only "common" grid systems that are able to be used (State Plane, UTM, etc), but no way to adopt an actual LDP by selecting a generic projection, and applying the parameters of the system I was given. For context I'm trying to create a system using the Lambert Conformal Conic (1 parallel), and the usual parameters like False easting/northing, and so forth.
Of course even if there is no way to achieve an LDP using that approach, I have no problem going the localization route (or State Plane in the field and convert in the office), so this isn't really a critical concern. Just wanted to confirm this is not a feature that's available. Much like the last slice of butter, I'm spread pretty thin these days so it's entirely possible I've overlooked something
