First of all, I have a project drawing called GUELPH.dwg. It's coordinate system is UTM83-17, so it's in zone 17. Let's attach two drawings that may be in a different coordinate system. So under Map Explorer, right-click, choose Attach. We're going to make sure we use the exercise files alias, Chapter 12, 12_02. We're going to choose Hydrology and Streets and click okay.
