AutoCAD 2018 to ArcGIS Pro - Georeferencing Problem

Hello,

 

When I import an already georeferenced AutoCAD 2018 drawing into ArcGIS Pro, it does not land on the correct location.

 

I have used the following different ways to georeference my drawing in AutoCAD 2018:

 

1. On AutoCAD 2018 there is a Geolocation tool in where I choose the geographic coordinate system and then start to draw. In ArcGIS I add the drawing and define the projection with the CAD Layer Tools Georeference tool to make sure its coordinate system is the same as the one I choose in AutoCAD but the drawing falls in another location way far. (To Set Geographic Location from a Map | AutoCAD 2018 | Autodesk Knowledge Network )

 

2. I also tried using these directions in AutoCAD and then added the drawing in ArcGIS and it did not work either

I know how to manually scale and move the drawing to its correct location once it has been added into ArcGIS Pro using control points but I need the drawing to fall where I need it without me having to do it manually.

 

3. I keep on reading about world files but I don't understand if I still need one even if the drawing has been georeferenced in AutoCAD using the tools provided.

 

4. If I need a world file how do I create one? 

 

I don't understand what I am doing wrong since both AutoCAD and GIS have the same coordinate system.

Does the problem has something to do with units? 

 

I would really appreciate some help.

 

Thank you,
