WireCAD provides a tool to copy calibration or georeference data from another drawing. This assumes the following:

•The drawing you are copying from has been Calibrated. You can tell if the drawing has been calibrated if you open it and it displays the text GPS in the lower right-hand corner.

•The geometry in the two drawings shares the same WCS origin point. This is crucial. If the geometry in the two drawings does not share the same origin point the GPS coordinate system will be off.

Procedure

1.Open the drawing that you want to copy Calibration data into.

2.Click Mapping Tools > GPS >Copy From Other Drawing. This will open a file browser dialog.

3.Browse to the Calibrated drawing and select it.

4.Click [Open]. This will initiate the process. If the drawing has been calibrated the process will proceed and the commandline history will indicate that the process has been completed.

5.Click File > Save to save the calibration data with the drawing.

6.You are done.
