A couple of years ago I wrote about how to create a local grid system for Perth coast Grid PCG94. You can copy the user definition of grid system from PC to PC using the following workflow, which Civil 3d, Map 3d and Infraworks access to the copied grid system.
The PC that does not have the defined Local grid system will need to configure Civil 3d or Map 3d to allows a definition of the grid system to be copied from PC to PC. The copied coordinates system will now be available in Infraworks.
- Set your workspace to Planning and Analysis
- On the Map Setup Tab - Coordinate System click on the options (Small little arrow in bottom right-hand corner)
The AutoCAD Map 3d option dialogue box and find the Coordinates system tab.
Coordinate System Definitions Stored in Drawings select Prompt User or Automatically add.
Now open a .dwg that contains the user-defined coordinate system from the other PC that has the defined coordinate system. The defined coordinate system will now be available on the PC that previously missing the user-defined coordinate system including
Infraworks.
Infraworks.
You can download a sample .dwg that contains Perth Costal grid here PCG94
