PROBLEM
CAD data spatial references are lost
Description
ArcCatalog loses all spatial reference information for CAD data after properties are specified.
Cause
CAD spatial reference information defined in ArcCatalog must be saved to a projection file (.prj).
Solution or Workaround
Click Save As in the Spatial Reference Properties dialog box and save the definition as a .prj file.
To define a spatial reference for CAD data, see the ArcGIS Desktop Help topic within Contents > ArcCatalog > Working with CAD data > "Defining a CAD layer’s coordinate system."
