# Creating Positions
To create a new position manually, double click on the reference station in the project window and select **Manage Positions:**
Then, select the reference station file from the banner on the left, then click **Create** at the bottom:
Once your position is created, enter the[ coordinate reference system ](/spatialexplorer-8-and-9/user-interface/windows/project-setup.md)of the position, then enter the position and antenna model.
{% hint style="info" %}
The example above shows easting and northing coordinates, however if the position CRS is geographic (i.e. WGS84, NAD83), the dialog fields will be labeled longitude and latitude.
{% endhint %}
Enter the position height or elevation in the **Height of Marker** field. The antenna height above the position (i.e. pole or tripod height) should be enterred in the **Height of Antenna ARP above Marker** field. Always enter pole or tripod heights in respect to the ARP (antenna reference point) - the software will account for the L1 Phase Center offset automatically based on the antenna model information.
Once complete, click **Save & Close**.
