I've had engineers send me CAD files that were georeferenced in their software but the georeference didn't translate properly to Arc. In those cases, all I had to do was Define Projection and it snapped to place without the need for CAD georeferencing. If that's not the case, which I assume it isn't, have you explored using the Move tool in the editing menu? That can get laborious quickly, I know, but might be a quick way out of your problem.&nbsp;</P> Tue, 12 Apr 2022 15:31:38 GMT RyanWalter 2022-04-12T15:31:38Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/cad-files-not-being-recognised-as-a-cad-layer/m-p/1163398#M53903 <P>I can import CAD files (using CAD to geodatabase) but when I try to georeference the layer it isn't being recognised as a CAD layer, meaning I can't use the georeference tool.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Any ideas?&nbsp;</P> Tue, 12 Apr 2022 09:53:49 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/cad-files-not-being-recognised-as-a-cad-layer/m-p/1163398#M53903 ABeighton 2022-04-12T09:53:49Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/cad-files-not-being-recognised-as-a-cad-layer/m-p/1163513#M53914 <P>Were the CAD imported with any pre-existing projection/georeference?
