Good Morning, I recently started working for a new company. Currently I am
the only CAD Technologist. I’ve come here right out of school and continually am
trying to self-learn CAD beyond the college course learnings. My CAD background is Architecture, but this is a Civil
Company so I am learning Civil 3D 2013 and MAP 3D 2013. Today I am trying to upload a .shp file along with WMS. They are not lining up. I’ve set the Co-ordinates to what
they should be. This is the first time I’ve tried to use Map 3D. Could somebody help me out in figure out how to get these 2
aligned? And/or point out if I’m missing something? Thank you very much ! ------------- CCoates |

No reply I see. Try over at a website called CADTutor. Tell my twin brother ReMark I said "hello". ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Quiet, JC: it's not nice to forward to other websites, since here we have all the skills to solve the issue... @ caitycoates15 The WMS does not align to the shape probably because they belong to different CRS: please copy and paste here the WMS address, and some lines from that shapefile, thx. |

I'd call that a delayed response. Some people need help sooner. I took a calculated risk figuring if I could send the OP somewhere they might get more eyes on their question and possibly receive an answer sooner rather than later he/she will remember that at least someone tried to help them in some small way and return the next time they have a problem just the same. I've lost count of the number of people I have told to come here to find tips, tricks, and blocks. Should I have not done that? It works both ways my friend. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Well, if some people are in a hurry, they'd better call their own Autodesk dealer, or knock on Facebook door... I guess an answer given in the first 24 hours is definitely NOT delayed, sir. :) |

Depends on how quickly you need a solution to the problem. I've never called my AutoDesk dealer to ask how to do something in AutoCAD. I find all my solutions online. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
