I've recently acquired a ton of data which I've been
told is ArcInfo coverage. Mostly vector data.
First, for you Manifold folks, I don't see a way I can
import this data directly... did I miss something?
Secondly, some of the data came to me as *.shp files.
Upon importing those and overlaying on existing data
I've got everything in the new .shp files was shifted
to the south. Quite noticeably too.
I changed the projection of the data to match my
existing data projection and it helped a little but
not much.
Is there some formula or other method I could employ
to get my new data sources to overlay correctly? Of
course I could just select everything and move it to
the correct location but that just doesn't seem like
the right approach.
My existing data consists of unmodified USGS 1:24,000
DRG files.
