I have not tried using data shortcuts with 2 different templates and different coordinate systems. I will give it a try.

Try creating a new dwg using the metric.dwt and data shortcut the surface into that drawing. Use the contours style from the metric drawing template to see what happens. The surface data is probably OK the styles and command settings are probably in imperial units still.Brian Morsehttp://www.advcivil.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831653633714681277.post-84451119178712086292011-04-28T08:00:38.138-05:002011-04-28T08:00:38.138-05:00So when i brought my point cloud in, my units shou...So when i brought my point cloud in, my units should have been set to feet and set my surface units to meters?Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340737993858354721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-831653633714681277.post-80596723146126711262011-04-28T02:38:36.861-05:002011-04-28T02:38:36.861-05:00Sounds like a units problem.

I'd check the Surface Feature Settings to see if elevation is set to feet.Christopher Fugitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00406998819846640638noreply@blogger.com
