I sometimes receive drawings in vanilla cad which are shot from a local datum, and the surveyor's have used local coordinates from this point of origin. Does anyone have a good idea for how to bring these into utms or state plane coords? Rubber sheeting has it's drawbacks and sometimes doesn't work at all.
I've been wondering if you could get the point of origin from the surveyors and define it within Map as new coordinate system, if you could then transform that drawing into a predefined coordinate system with map tools?
thanks!
