GEOLOCATION HELP

[DavidLM8GHU]

Im having a weird issue with the geolocation.  I have a few drawings that the map does not display correctly (location), however if I copy everything out of the drawing and paste to original coordinates in a new drawing the map displays correctly.  I have checked the drawing settings and the mapcassign settings and they are both set to FL83-WF NAD83 Florida State Plane, West Zone, US Foot.  I have also checked the transformation tab to make sure nothing was changed there.  I just cant figure out what is wrong in the drawing that doesnt display correctly.  Like I said if I copy everything and paste to original coords in a new drawing everything is fine.

Im lost please help.

Thank you,

David Lambert

Hi @DavidLM8GHU 

Bradenton, correct?

If you want to 'correct' your uploaded drawing so it's geospatially accurate, you'll need to RE-ESTABLISH the drawing's currently assigned coordinate system. The user who originally assigned it made an error.

Follow these instructions e-x-a-c-t-l-y as shown.

1. Go to geolocation Tab=>Location Panel=>Remove Location
2. Do you want to remove location data......click YES
3. On command line, type in MAPCSASSIGN=>In Search box enter FL83=>Highlight and select FL83-WF=>Assign
4. Go to Geolocation Tab=>Online Map Panel=>Map Dropdown arrow=>select Map Hybrid
5. Zoom-in to your site=>on command line type REA (regen all)=>Enter

Your line work is now correctly in Bradenton. If you want to copy then copy from this new file. Don't copy from the file you uploaded, that one is not geospatially accurate.
