We are running ORD Connect. GDOT required release. Trying to bring an OBS file into an imperial unit Survey Foot DGN. Points come in fine, and measure the correct distance. However every time I import the OBS file, it imports as Meter not foot. So everything is off by a multiplier of 3.28 etc. So what am I doing wrong? Same thing happens if I attempt to bring in the RAW file. Scales out of whack. Would like to give my client the data, rather than just an XYZ file.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
We saw that if the records that indicate units is missing, the default is meters. At least with RAW format. Can you confirm what unit the OBS file is using?

Thank you!!!! That is what I was missing. English.
This issue is present in the FBK import workflow as well. Changing the units in the FBK file header makes no difference.
Results may vary....proceed with caution.
