    Previously i`m using version 2009 and importing google earth image and surface works fine. However, recenty i tried with version 2010 and i`m having some problem here (imported surface / contour seems ok but the image is too large like 3x or 4x). How to solve that?

    thanks

    Before importing the GE image, are you sure you set the CRS with _ADESETCRDSYS command..?

    " like 3x or 4x"

     

    If it's 3.28x it could be an imperial to metric conversion problem.

    Thank you for both of your advice. However, i tried with and without setting the zone and coordinate system and also the units (imperial and metric) all seems to be same. Further, i tried importing the image and surface separately and the result is same if i importing them together. I find the surface is in position and also correct in scale but only the image is too large. Any idea? Nearly give up. thanks again.
