I’m a Happy Mapper in 2008

Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on May 3rd, 2007

 

Though I am a big fan of the FDO data connection that came around in Map 2007 (which of course, Civil 3D 2007 was built on), I do sometimes like to import map data the old fashioned way through the Map>Tools>Import. In 2007 and below, I always had to manually assign the input coordinate systems.  Map didn't seem to want to automatically find the .PRJ (projection) files for me like the FDO did.  This was a bit tedious, especially when importing a collection of .SHP files that each had a different coordinate system. Click more to find out what I discovered in 2008.
