When projects are imported or created their spatial reference may not be known at the time of import. Georeferencing specifies a spatial location on the basemap for the project. Georeferencing can either be done manually or the location of the project can be located on the basemap.

 

To georeference a project make sure no project is open then select either Tools > Projects > Georeference on Map or Tools > Projects > Georeference Manually. The Georeference Project form below will be displayed where you can select the project to be georeferenced.

 

 

On the left of this form are lists of the most recent projects and all the projects. On the right side of the form the details of the highlighted project are shown, some of these details are not shown for the most recent projects. At the top of the form is a toolbar that can be used to find a project by specifying he project number. To select a project to georeference, highlight it and then click on the Select button.

 

The sections below describe the different methods for georeferencing a project.
