Question 2: In tbl_dimensions, there are all combinations of X/Y Northing/Easting, as shown here: image What I'm wondering is; Why is the X coordinate sometimes the northing? It would seem logical for the X coordinate to always be the easting and Y coordinate to always be the northing, yet this is not the case. I suppose there's nothing stopping you from swapping your X and Y in your coordinate system, but why?
