How to do a drawing Transformation

[jamesbarnett]

I am using Civil 3d 2012 and I have a dwg that is in AR North Nad83. The client needs it put in UTM 15 Nad83. Is there an easy way to do this? I am to the point where I am going to use corpscon.

1] open an empty drawing

2] set UTM 15 Nad83 as current CRS with the _ADESETCRDSYS command

3] attach the AR North Nad83 drawing with the _ADEDRAWINGS command

4] run _ADEQUERY and perform a "draw query" to finish the conversion

Thanks for the reply.

I attached the drawing and it shows that it is active, but I can't see the drawing.

I then tried running _adequery, but I'm not sure how to do the "draw query" or what it's for.

It's not important to see an attached drawing BEFORE the query, sir.

Once you've run _ADEQUERY do the following:

1] LOCATION => ALL => OK

2] under 'Query Mode' choose 'Draw' then 'Execute query'

3] perform a Zoom Extents

Nicely done, Sir.

Ok, that's what I did before and then reran it again with your instructions, but I still can't see the drawing.

I exited out of Autocad and retried your steps and this time it worked.  I appreciate the help.
