I thought Andy J had this nailed down:Require credit card info up front. If they don't close, say, within 30 days, you charge the credit card.

I appreciate the offer, but we don't want to go down the road of having to define dozens of custom projections. I'm well aware of projection and coord...
Obviously, the point is to perform a 2D scale of the CAD file to the real SPCS, which is a coordinate system with known parameters, known projection t...
