Georeference CAD Move to Display greyed out
What am I doing wrong??
I am using ArcGIS Pro 3.1.3 and attempting to georeference CAD files with a Parcel Fabric version 5. This is a prototype Parcel Fabric and we are currently 'experimenting' and practicing on local drives.
https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/3.1/help/data/cad/georeferencing-cad-data.htm
The .dwg was delivered with no spatial reference, so the Polylines for importing into the parcel fabric were given a projection via the Define Projection tool. As soon as that was complete, the CAD Data tab appeared as expected. However, the Move to Display command is greyed out.
Perfect! That worked like a charm.
For anyone else that may be having this problem, there is Layer Search as a tab in the Suggest Location window. This has several options to choose from.
- On the catalog page select the CAD file
- Right click and go to properties
- This will open a window
- Navigate to the tab Validate Position
- Assign the coordinate system.
Because you don't have the "correct X,Y"
- Use the Suggest Location
- Layer Search tab
- Dropdown options
- Type value
- Hit Enter
- OK
- Layer Search tab
- Open a Map
- Drag and drop the polyline feature class
- From the Polyline group
- Move the Polyline layer outside of the group
- Select the Polyline layer on the TOC
- Click Georeference
I have one more question before I smash "Accept as Solution"
For the one CAD file that I was successfully able to Georeference, Validate Position page looked like this:
And subsequent failed attempts (3) at recreating the same workflow resulted in this message:
As well as the Move to Display button again being greyed out.
The Coordinate System and Suggested Location are correct for the failed attempts.
