I am working on a large construction layout project. I have the CAD file from the engineer.
It looks like the drawing was probably created in Civil 3D, but I am not sure.
It has been giving me trouble from day one. First, it appears that the UCS is all messed up. If I import the points, the symbols come in in different places from the point descriptors.
Second, when I try to drag the point descriptors out to create a leader so I can see the point number and description, the base point is way off from where the symbols are.
Third, when I try to create a point plot, my points will not print, and neither will the actual drain lines or structures.
I have had some drawings act weird, but this one has me puzzled.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried resetting your UCS to world? What platform are you using?
I will double check, but I believe I tried that. I am using Carlson Survey 2008 with embedded Autocad.
I will try that again when I get back to the office.
Thanks
Open a FRESH drawing. Then, INSERT the drawing into your fresh one. This will keep YOUR settings, with HIS data.
