    Hi all,

    Ok I'm having a bad brain day. I'm totally drawing a blank here and the help file just didn't help me what so ever today. So I come to this great knowledge base. I've got 6 dgn drawings that I've converted to dwgs for LDD. I"m running 2003 ldd and civil. I've discovered all these drawings are in the wrong coordinate system. Some of the dgns have points, some don't. How do I just take the whole dgn now a dwg pick it up and move it to the correct coordinate system? I was thinking reorientate the USC but, after reading on that, I'm not sure that's the right path. The worst part is I've done this once before but, it was like 3 years ago so I'm totally drawing a blank on this one. Thanks for all your help.

    PS I'd ask someone here, but hey, I'm the only drafter for my company.

    If I understand you correctly, I would think all you need to do is use MOVE>
    All, pick a point you know the correct coordinate of and then enter that
    coordinate. Make sure all layers are on, thawed and not locked.
