FEMA Map

[Anonymous]

I bought a cd from FEMA that contains *.e00 files. When I use the import option under tools on the map pull-down it comes in, but I can't figure out the scale. I would appear that the X and Y scales are different. If anyone knows, I'd like to know the scale factors for these files.

More than likely those files are in UTM coordinates. You would have to
set up your drawing the same way or you would have to convert (scale) the
FEMAs to feet.

If it's FEMA Q3 data, I believe that would be in
geographic coordinates (lat-long).
