State Plane to GIS

[jtrim]

I have a lot of old maps that were created with the use of State Plane Coordinates in ACAD. Can I change those maps to agree with maps that have been imported from the GIS sites using NAD 27 in Wyoming?
I will appreciate any and all help, as I am very new to this. Thanks.

Yes you can. You will need to assign the State Plane coordinate system to
each of your old drawings. Then open you new data (make sure it is also got
the correct coordinate system assigned) , attach the old maps and run a draw
query. This will bring the old data into your new data in the same
coordinate system.

I am not familiar with the coordinate systems in Wyoming but based on your
post I hope you are not confusing coordinates and datum's. Most state plane
systems I know of use either NAD 27 or NAD 83.
