Topic: Distribution points not centralised

When records are plotted onto a map, the distribution points are not centralised on the grid square. For example, a plot of a record with spatial reference of TQ14 is plotted at TQ1000040000 instead of TQ1500045000.

A tiny dot in the bottom left-hand corner is clearly wrong. The size of the symbol plotted should relate to the resolution of the spatial reference of the record.

Re: Distribution points not centralised

It is possible to display the record as a square depending on the resolution of the spatial reference. Go to Options, then Spatial References and tick the box 'Display Spatial ref as Box on Map'.
