I could swear i've seen an xref manager for trueview before but now that we are using 2015, I can't seem to find it anywhere. There use to be a binder clip on the lower right of the application window but now its gone. How can you find out more info about the xrefs in the drawing? Please help.
What is the procedure to make use of this app for a single user. I want to see the editing time spent on a dwg .i mean i can see that i have to right click on the icon and click on enable the app with autodesk then it opens the autocad . is that how it works ? can you please guide me.
You will need to either...
1. use an autodesk product to discover the assigned crs.
2. contact the originator and find out the crs.
3. convert to a format you can use (probably with no transformation), and then begin to discover the crs.
4. project the data with esri arcmap (which will create a world file for the dwg). [I don't normally use this method]
5. As Dano suggest rubbersheet (use a copy)
If there is an item in your dwg that is identifiable on the ground or another map, you can open the dwg with a free viewer (autodesk trueview), identify the coordinates at the known point and then begin to ascertain the correct prj.
