I'm trying to import the LocalGovernment.xml into a geodatabase. I can import it ok, but the coordinate system is set to the Napierville sample data in Illinois. I need to set it to our cs. I understand this can be done with X-Ray, but can't use this because it requires Excel, and our department dropped MS Office in favor of Libre Office as a cost cutting measure. Is there a way to change the cs without trying to find every reference in the xml file and manually change it there? Thanks.

Greg -

I think you could still use Xray to set the spatial reference in this case because Excel is only needed to modify the schema.  Just follow the process in the help and you should be ok.  In addition, you could also use the Batch Project tool but it will be a bit challenging moving the entire information model to your spatial reference using that tool.  It might work best for a subset of the information model.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Scott, but not working. When I click on the icon in X-Ray to open the LocalGovernment.xml, I get the error in the image below. It wants Excel.
