I'm attempting to reference in a shapefile to an ORD file and it's not lining up correctly with my survey data. The first thing I did when I created the ORD file was set the GCS, but still having issues with the shapefile not referencing in correctly.
I opened the .dgn file in Microstation V8i and the shapefile and survey data appear to line up correctly.
Is there any kind of workaround so I can get the survey data and the shapefile to line up correctly in ORD?
Thanks!
UPDATE:
So, I created a new DGN file in PowerGEOPAK and added the shapefile and it aligns up with my survey data. I opened the file in OpenRoads and everything is still lined up. Not exactly sure why I can't create the file in OpenRoads to begin with, but that's the workaround I found that works.
try attaching the shapefile with the Reprojected option
That option isn't available when attaching the shapefile.

Is everything using the same foot definition, i.e. US Survey vs International?
I double checked my topo file I have referenced in for our project location and it is US Survey Foot. I double checked the shapefile and it appears it's US Survey Foot as well.
You need to have a coordinate system attach to your file first then when you attach your shapefile you will get this option:
