I need to confirm if I could use more than two control points to georeference CAD files. My CAD layouts represent a long track (&gt;10 kms) and hence I need more point of control for accurate georeferencing.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks in advance.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Regards,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Amarsh</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:24:21 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/georeferencing-cad-files-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/535706#M30333 AmarshChaturvedi 2010-10-04T11:24:21Z Re: Georeferencing CAD files in ArcGIS Desktop https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/georeferencing-cad-files-in-arcgis-desktop/m-p/535707#M30334 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>The best way to do this is to import the CAD files into a geodatabase then use the spatial adjustment tools (Spatial Adjustment) menu.
