Hi,
I have a corridor, but the alignment was drawn in the wrong coordinate system. Is there a way to move and rotate the whole corridor to a new position? Something like you would move a simple geometry element.
Best regards,
Andrei
What software and version are you using?
Also, when you say 'wrong coord system' do you a simple error in the coordinates used, or do you mean an incorrect Geographic Coordinate System?
Hi Mark,
I am using PowerCivil for Denmark. And to do my modelling I used some reference files provided by the client, but they want the delivery in another system, which is basically the coordinate system I used so far but the X and Y should be inverted and Y should have a negative value instead of a positive one. For example I have a point at the X=10,Y=20,Z=0 and they want the delivery in a system where the specified point is at X=20,Y=-10,Z=0.
That looks like a mirror about the Y-axis, followed by a mirror about a 45 degree line.(I am not a mathematician, but that also looks like a clockwise rotation of 90 degrees - see my diagram. EDIT: I looked up the rotation and a 90 degrees clockwise rotation will transform (X, Y) to (Y, -X) as you want.).
Civil Transforms are move, scale and rotate - are you using the OpenRoads tools in PowerCivil, or the native geometry tools? There is the 'Transform Geometry tool in native commands. (I do not recall a Transform tool in the OpenRoads technology tools).

my version of PowerCivil is based on Inroads so I am using the native tools
The following (working with an ALG as a test) gave the result wanted. Geometry > Utilities > Transform
Thank you. I tried this option, but I the alignment loses the properties. It turns is into simple geometry, so my corridor components are not moved either. I think I will go with the classic select everything and rotate.
