Point coordinate issue when importing into Civil 3D

Point coordinate issue when importing into Civil 3D

I need some help.  Our company recently started using Civil 3D for surveying projects.  When I am importing .csv files into Civil 3D, the points will preview with the correct Northing & Easting, yet when inserted into the drawing using the "import survey data" function from the survey prospector tab, they have a different Northing & easting in the model.  It is a consistent amount different from the raw data, so it is not a scaling issue. The points will list with the correct northing and easting, yet ID'ing the point in CAD gives me a different result.   Has anybody else had this issue before?  Units set to US Survey feet and Base is at 0,0,0.

 

Please help.

Thanks,

Bob Boyer, PLS

Are your drawing setting and survey database settings the same.

I fixed the problem.  The survey database settings was to US Survey feet but the AutoCAD settings were to International feet.  Once I set both the same, it worked fine.

 

Thanks for the help.
