Moving the whole drawing to a new WCS or UCS |
|
|
Hi all,
Ok I'm having a bad brain day. I'm totally drawing a blank here and the help file just didn't help me what so ever today. So I come to this great knowledge base. I've got 6 dgn drawings that I've converted to dwgs for LDD. I"m running 2003 ldd and civil. I've discovered all these drawings are in the wrong coordinate system. Some of the dgns have points, some don't. How do I just take the whole dgn now a dwg pick it up and move it to the correct coordinate system? I was thinking reorientate the USC but, after reading on that, I'm not sure that's the right path. The worst part is I've done this once before but, it was like 3 years ago so I'm totally drawing a blank on this one. Thanks for all your help.
PS I'd ask someone here, but hey, I'm the only drafter for my company.
Heidi

If I understand you correctly, I would think all you need to do is use MOVE>
All, pick a point you know the correct coordinate of and then enter that
coordinate. Make sure all layers are on, thawed and not locked. |

No UCS! UCS BADD!!!
If the drawing is in a known coordinate system use LDD or Map to assign the
coordinate system. Close the drawing. Open an new one. In Map attach the
drawing you just closed. Assign the coords sys you want to move to in the
current drawing. Query in the other dwg using an All Location query.
If the drawing is not in a know coord sys: Make sure all layers are on and
thawed. Create 2 reference points in the correct system. Use Move and Rotate
as needed to move the drawing to the new system. If you have AEC points make
sure Allow Points to be Moved in Drawing is checked in the points options
then do a Check Points to update the point database.

Glad I could help. If you post questions like this to the land-desktop group
you'll have a better chance of getting an answer quickly.
