Adding Images 2 UTM ZONES

[brl2008]

Hello to all

The drawing is a hand me down to me. We do pipeline and we are looking at sites along a pipeline. So when we first started looking in this one areaare images where set in UTM Zone 18. how my boss want to look at at some site along the same pipeline but more east of the image that we have. So I download the next county over. I type in MAPIINSERT hit ok, go scale the image, base point 0,0,, times by 3.28084, zoom extend and the image come's in to the west of the first image.Come to fine ount the first image is in Zone 18 and the second image is in Zone 19. So how do I put 2 images of different UTM Zones into one drawing.

thank you all that reply

Maybe this will help...? It documents what you have been doing, and below that it documents two ways to do what you are attempting to do. I haven't done the process (I don't have any images with these circumstances), but it's worth a shot. Hope it helps.

well it's good you found something anyway...are the images you are downloading from a publicly available location? I wouldn't mind trying this challenge myself...but I don't know off hand where to get any images like that...not quite my forte. I'm a little curious how it might work if you create two base files - one in zone 18, and one in zone 19 - and then attach the images in each location to their respective base files, and xref the base files together (again though...just a wild uninformed guess here). I'm sure someone somewhere has had the same issues at some point....

here the website that we use to get images from http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov/. i try setting up two different drawing and xref one into the other but got the same results.
thank for the input

hi rickh

i try a print screen of my order not working for me. so i'll tell the step i took for my map images. when you get to the ordering part i selected massachusetts, pick the county i needed (hampden county) scroll down to "ortho imagery" check the must current image (2010 national ag. imagery program mosaic 1map 787.441mb) hit continue, under delivery check "FTP" hit continue, fill out info(name,email,company, etc..) hit continue, review order, then on the left side of screen hit place order. wait for email to confrim my order, got 4 days to download the images. i do this for each county that i need. massachusetts has 2-utm zones, zone 18 and zone 19 and at the time i when thru these steps each time. the hell broke loose when went put the into my drawinng. it sometimes takes 3-5hours and sometimes i have download it couple of time cause of errors on website.
