Setting up a true coordinate system

(1/3) > >>

dubb:
I would like to know how to set up the coordinate system in AutoCAD 2017 without having to choose a marker location.
My company does not use MAP 3d or Civil 3D, our client sends us cad files that are geolocated we are able to edit them and send them back without gis functionality.
When I insert a client's geolocated drawing into new drawing that I used Geographiclocation command on, the location and aerial image is incorrect.

Mark:
The coordinates shouldn't matter at all. Where are you getting the aerial imagery from?

dubb:
The imagery comes from the "Geographiclocation" command.

Mark:
Okay, i see what you're talking about now. That is strange.

That's about worthless. I can get the aerial and my xref'd dwg located in the same area but the scaling is WAY off. The aerial is scaled, somehow.
