One of the projects we delivered recently went through all of our double checks and accuracy checks and it passed with flying colors. So we put it on out FTP site for delivery.
The customer imports it into their program, Civil3D, and is is just wonky and off by several feet. We scratched our head, did all the double checks and it was just well within national map standards.
We just received this from them:
Okay, an update on our inserting into Civil3D issues.
We seem to have found our culprit. Originally, we were all trying to use ‘MAPIINSERT’ to load the image, but it kept having shift/scaling issues. We later tried ‘IINSERT’ and it came in right on the money.
Evidently mapiinsert uses international feet, and not US feet. So just good old Civil3D making our lives hard. Phew, we are golden and accurate!
