Reprojecting AutoCAD data
- To re-project the AutoCAD data, the DWG must have a coordinate system assigned already. You then attach that DWG to new drawing with the destination coordinate system assigned, and then query in from that original source drawing. Let's try that now. We're going to drag hydrology and streets DWG into our current map explore. We use the exercise files alias for both the streets and the hydrology. You could see at the bottom of the screen that your current coordinate system is assign UTM 83-17. To see what the coordinate system of the two attached files are right click over drawings, click define modify drawing set, and then click on the drawing settings. This will show the two drawing files and their assigned coordinates. The streets are WGS84 pseudo mercator, and the hydrology is in lat long 84. Let's hit close and OK. Now let's query in that data to see it re-project on the fly. So we go query, Location All…
