Hi All,
Hoping someone out there can give me some direction with CAD - very much a beginner user, have not used for years.
The issue:
I have multiple .DGN files that have no spatial reference. I have brought these into AutoCAD, saved as a .dwg and the performed some rubber sheeting in order to scale and move in to the proper location. I used a feature class converted to a .dwg as my reference layer when performing the rubber sheeting.
Now I would like to take only the line work that I adjusted, save as individual .dwg to maintain all associated annotation, and bring into ArcMap. I have attempted to assign a coordinate system to the .dwg in CAD, however when I try to bring it into Arc I get nothing, as is it is not spatially referenced.
My question is - what is the best way to assign a coordinate system to this .dwg that will stick and allow me successfully bring into ArcMap?
I am using AutoCAD 2013 and ArcGIS 10.1
Any hints would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike
