Hi All, A guy who has no idea had modelled a huge project, now i am given a task to set it into correct coordinates,

i have no problem, with that process. what i discovered is project north and true north (both are in same angle) how do i get the project north to be vertical...

pls. help.

normally always all projects are drawn in true north, to be vertical (90 degrees) and when you import CAD rotate, align to grid and aquire coordinates it fixes it self...in this case i am not able to  

cheers

Teafoe5, thank for the idea, what it was that i had to rotate true north first(to be looking verticle) , and then project north (by selecting a line / grid that is horizontal...) then i imported CAD grid intersection lines from survey dwg. and acquired coordinates. that fixed it all.

cheers
