I am having trouble using spatial adjustment to georeference a shapefile that I created from a CAD drawing to a basemap of satellite imagery.

At first, the shapefile had an unknown coordinate system, and I created about 10 displacement links and the adjust option was still greyed out in the drop-down menu.

I tried defining the projection of the shapefile to NAD 83 UTM Zone 17N, because I would need it in that projection eventually, but the adjust option is still greyed out.

It seems that I can't get the option no matter how many displacement links I add as well.

Am I missing something?

  • @FelixIP Thank you for the link, but I would also like to figure out why I can't spatially adjust it in shapefile format, if possible.

    You have to check one in adjustment dialog. Set Adjusted data
