I'm having a problem with a bunch of sids. I have a drawing which consists of a previously created dwg, connected raster (sids) and loaded layers (GIS features (shp) I saved as layers). I need to change the UCS to print landscape, so there is a saved named ucs called W80S. When I apply this UCS, everything - except the raster - flips by 80 degrees. So I've been trying to save the sids in a new map/dwg as an sdf but I can't seem to select the images (I can select them, but they aren't recognized by the SDF exporting mechanism - it says no objects selected).
You need to save the Map to AutoCAD dwg format, then you can use the users UCS all you want. Why not just set up the page setup to landscape and forget about rotating anything?
Hi Murph,
Isn't the point of this MAP 3D program that it can use both drawing objects and geospatial features? This is making me so nuts.
But, thanks for replying.
"Isn't the point of this MAP 3D program that it can use both drawing objects and geospatial features?"
Yes, that is the point of Map 3D......... until you want to print. Then the goal of Map 3D is to give you as hard of a time possible and print 3 different ways with the same settings and leave your aerials off for no reason and only draw half your shp geometry and only Label what it thinks needs to be labeled even though you have it setup just right and if you try to hard it will just quit printing your labels all togetherand just because you put the layers in the order you think they should be in does not mean they will print in that order and you cant use polygonal viewport because things will mysteriously be left off and then if you want to print to PDF you get to start all over again.
That is one heck of a sentence if i don't say so myself.
In short, Good luck.
