Ascii absolute geometric

Hi there!

 

Hopefully someone can help on this one.  I'm relatively new to AutCAD map 3d but I've used arcGIS a while back.

 

I have existing roads, towns etc data that are already set to UTM 17.  I want to import ascii point coordinates (from a comma delimited file) into the file.  I can import the ascii coordinates as points fine (easting and northing), however the points come in as the absolute coordinates rather than geometric coordinates.  I already set the files for right geographic projections.  Beyond manually inputing the coordinates into the coordinate tracker, is there a way to import the coordinates form the file set for the geometric coordinates?

 

Thanks in advance!!

 

J

Have you assigned the coordinate system to your dwg and the text file you are importing into?

Yup.  I've assigned the same coordinate system to both the drawing and when I import the ascii coordinates into the survey data store.
