Work with Coordinate Systems

Combine Data with Different Coordinate Systems

You can transform the coordinate system for drawing objects by adding them to a map that uses a different coordinate system.


Open or create a map file		Open or create a new drawing using a map template

Assign a coordinate system		Choose the target coordinate system for the source drawing

Attach the drawing to transform		Attach the drawing whose coordinate system you want to change

Assign a coordinate system to the attached drawing		Specify the drawing’s current coordinate system

Query in the data you want		Bring in the objects you want from the attached drawing

Detach the drawing		Right-click the drawing in Map Explorer and choose Detach

Save the map		The drawing objects you brought in use the new coordinate system, but the original drawing is unchanged.
