<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I deal with multiple projects where
CAD drawings are sent to me to overlay onto DOQQs in ArcView. Now some of
the CAD drawings that I get will actually overlay onto my DOQQ, however, they
are a rarity. Most of the drawings show up in <st1:City
w:st="on">Timbuktu</st1:City> and my DOQQ shows up in <st1:State
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Florida</st1:place></st1:State>. Now, when
I extract out what I want from the CAD drawing into shapefile format, I cannot
re-project the shapefile to the coordinate system of my choosing. I have
tried to re-project the extracted shapefile by removing the PRJ file, and then
defining a new projection for the shapefile. That has never met with
success. I have resorted to attempting to edit the shapefile and just move
it on top of my DOQQ, which sometimes meets with success, however, other times
not. The CAD designers that create these drawings have no idea what I am
talking about when I ask them to re-project their drawing from CAD (which I have
no idea if that is possible since I have never seen CAD in my life
