I have received an AutoCad drawing that I have converted to dxf and then into the survey software I use (LSS)
However, if I query the co-ords of a point in AutoCad, it displays the result on a completely different grid system.
The info transferred across to LSS is on the correct grid system so it is obviously there somewhere!
Can anybody help.
Thanks
Steve

Type "dducs" to see what user coordinate system (UCS) is in effect. To change the coordinate system to "world", type UCS>WORLD. Then type PLAN to orient the view with WORLD UCS.
 
Thanks Carl
Now set to world and giving correct co-ords.
