    Incorrect ECW coordinates

    I've created same topic in Civil 3D, but I think here I'll an answer faster.

     

    I have GeoPDF that I can't attach properly to drawing in Civil 3D.

    So with Global Mapper I exported it to geo-referenced ECW.

    I checked ECW in Global Mapper and ArcMap, everything just fine.

    However when I did mapiinsert in Civil 3D, image appeared with shifted coordinates.

    The original coordinate system of PDF and ECW is BC/Albers and coordinate grid is Lat/ Longs.

    I've uploaded ECW, if somebody could try it.

    This is a picture from Civil 3D with Lat Long grid above the image.

    Thanks.

    In my Map2006 CRS list, there is no BC Albers, so I created it by scratch basing on EPSG:3005 parameters (command _ADEDEFCRDSYS).

    If I load your .ECW in this brand new CRS, and I draw a draft yellow line on the West coast, it fits exactly on Google Earth - check my .ZIP one, unpacking the content in the .ECW folder.


    Now you should try to attach my DWG into a LL84 empty drawing (EPSG:4326) by means of _ADEDRAWINGS, then perform a draw query to check the conversion.
