POINT LOCATIONS INCORRECT

I import a text file. I look at the coordinate list in the toolspace under the survey tab and the coordinates listed are correct. but the nodes in the drawing are 4 feet off. any idea as to why this is happening?

Post a copy of the drawing to this forum.  Someone will be able to look at it and probably give you an answer.

Mike,

 

If the coordinates listed are correct, what is 4 feet off? And yes, please post a drawing.

Check your Zone in the survey database as well as in the drawing. Sounds like transformation from US Feet vs. International Feet.

this sounds like the difference in international feet vs. US feet, or at least in SC it's between 4 and 5 feet.

My zone setting was correct but my database setting was wrong. The funny thing is that I worked in a different project and didnt have this problem. Not sure how it happened.
