You have to be very careful with your coordinate reference system. There are (literally) thousands of them. One advantage of using the county GIS data and aerials is that the aerials are (usually) corrected and in the same CRS as the SHP files. Mark > On Mar 9, 2019, at 9:51 AM, Mike H

Yes. It was pure luck. My first "real" job, and I was destined for a field job in Gary, Indiana. Two weeks after that, Sperry bought our company and laid off 5 out of 6 of the employees.

Agreed. Usually shapefiles come with a .PRJ file that defines the coordinate system. I would think something created in a GIS system in the first place would be more likely to have that file passed along than one created in a CAD environment and then exported. - Mike Hammett Intellige

Yes. In your PPPoE profile, you'd specify a v6 Prefix Pool for both the "Remote IPv6 Prefix Pool" and the "DHCPv6 PD Pool" (it can be from the same pool, it will assign them two prefixes from that pool). The former is for the WAN port of the customer's device and the latt

We do essentially the same using MapInfo Professional. I'm not sure it's the best software but it gets the job done. Some permit agencies require using a locatable method to cross the road. Meaning yes you need a drill and cant use a missile or compaction boring setup. Worth asking though. On Sa
