Other Known Issues

Coordinate Systems May Display Incorrectly

Certain SHP folders may contain erroneously-formed Well Known Text (WKT) coordinate projection descriptions in their .PRJ files. In these cases, the coordinate system reported in the Data Connect dialog may appear to be incorrect. Depending on the actual WKT text encountered, the discrepancy may be innocuous, and the data will be added to the map correctly. For example, some WGS-84 Lat-Lon WKT strings may inadvertently be reported as another Lat-Lon coordinate system, such as Antarctic98.LL (which has the same mathematical definition as LL84).

Points Created in AutoCAD Map 3D Are Not Visible in ESRI ArcGIS

If you create new points in a SHP file using AutoCAD Map 3D, you may not be able to view those points in ESRI ArcGIS. To work around this problem, take the following steps:

1. Open the Editor toolbar (Click Tools > Editor toolbar)
2. On the Editor toolbar, click Editor > Start Editing.
3. On the Editor toolbar, click Editor > Save Edits.
