I am trying to build up a project that crosses many state plane zones of California. I wanted to reference in Zone 3 files into a host Zone 4 file. I did so by using the Geographic tool. Found these instructions in bentley site:
"To set the GCS in attached references, open the Geographic Coordinate System dialog and click the "Set Geographic Coordinate System In Reference Attachments""
It seemed to have worked for one reference. But for another reference it brought some of the geometry to the new coordinate system and left some behind un-transposed.
Very strange. In fact, when I select some objects from the reference it highlights geometry in both places--the objects seem to be part in one zone and part in another.
When I went back to the original DGN that I'd referenced in, the model file showed the geometry split in these two zones in the same way. So I have pushed this problem back into the original file.
