RE: GIS Data

I received GIS data from a client in .dwg format.  Our survey is being truncated and we were provide a .prj that is usually applied to the shapefiles.  How can I go about applying the truncation to this file accurately?  Another issue is the storage units that the files were provided in are not lining up.  If I want them to match, I have to shift the linework horizontally and scale it by 12 to go from foot to inches.

  • try asking  the sources for the shape files and shape file data instead of  DWG,

    Alternatively  open the dwg with Acad and set the units with the command UNITS and set them to inches..
