coordinate system - Can Civil 3D reproject shapefiles?

Sorry to ask, but I just don't have time for help menus this week. That said, does anyone know if CAD is capable of re-projecting shapefiles? I find myself in a situation whereby I may have to use spatial data without access to ESRI software. The data are delivered in the GCS_North_American_1983 datum, and my clients site drawing is in NAD83 Z17N.

I fully expect problems. Can any of you post any related links that you're aware of? There's no budget to purchase software on this one either (just a heads-up).

Alternatively, is there a way to get CAD to project on the fly?

Answer

Yes
