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.
The GCS as well?
Hi Zach,

To follow the best practices, can you specify the used ORD version (use e.g. "version" key-in to obtain product version).

Are you able to test the data in MicroStation CE (preferably in the latest CE Update 16.2)?

Has SHP file defined GCS or .prj file is missing?

Yes, the GCS is US Survey Foot.

When I attach the shapefile using this 'Attachment Method' the file cannot be found...
I suspect that at least part of your problem is a scaling issue. What's the ratio of the shapefile coordinates and shapes versus the survey data?
