The other day I had a customer asking what the False Northing and Easting was for a specific coordinate system in Civil 3D. Not knowing off the top of my head, and with some help from the Map Team (thanks Doug!), I discovered that this is fairly easy to find within Civil 3D. First we start off with the command ADESETCRDSYS, this will launch the Assign Global Coordinate System dialog which will allow you to select a coordinate system. Clicking on the Select Coordinate System button will launch another dialog which will give you the options to pick your category and the coordinate systems available in that category. For my example I selected NHHPF HARN (HPGN datum) New Hampshire State Planes, US Foot. You just need to select the coordinate system, and click on PROPERTIES in the lower left hand corner of the Select Global Coordinate System dialog box. The False Origins as well as the Projection Parameters will be displayed on the PROJECTION tab of the Global Coordinate System Properties dialog.
