Edit Drawing Settings (Transform settings) in Civil 3D 2009.

[bdr5843]

Hi, there:

I would like to know what am I doing wrong when starting a new drawing in Civil 3D 2009, specifically in the "Edit Drawing Settings" dialogue box, "transform settings".

A brief description of the problem is as follows: (Attached, please find the drawing file)

  I am starting a new drawing using Civil 3D Metric NCS LTD template.

  My drawing settings are as follows:

    a- Drawing Limits = (0,0); (457,306) for a 24x36 sheet of paper (914mm x 612 mm)

    b- Drawing scale 1:500

    c-Units & Zone : Units in meters; Zone : US Administration- PR/VI-NAD 83

    d- Reference point : Local Northing = 0 ; Local Easting = 0 ; Grid Northing = 242000 ; Grid Easting = 273000.

    e- I am using Custom BDR description key set for point creation.

Then, when I create my first survey point by northing/easting, the point plots far away from my drawing limits area.

My first point is sta 1, Northing=242100; Easting=273,100; elevation= . ; point description=sta

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.
