co-ordinates from a point

[asc4john]

I have a large amount of data in an Access database. The data is of a
campus, in real world co-ordinates, in meters and all of the data is in
primatives, like lines, rectangle, arcs ...which I will have to group.
All of the measuments are referenced to a common point, likely a
surveying marker no one knows, so all points in the database a taken
from that point. The "point" is marked as northing 700, easting 350
and all measurments are real world. i.e. the Student Lounge, NE corner
is at northing 851.234 and easting 367.233, the SW corner is at
northing 827.189 and easting 353.824 so the building is about 25x25
meters square. I can set up a page in Visio that is scaled correctly to
accepte the data without change to fit onto the page but the reference
point is causing problems. The Visio drawing is at 0,0, lower left
hand corner but I want the lower left hand corner to be 675,325. Can I
do this and how? Or do I have to run the data thru formulas to produce
0,0 references? Also is there away to keep the line weight propotional
to the scale?

Oops, I can do that, I just realized I could have asked the question in
a much simpler manner. Instead of 0,0 as the x,y axises can I make the
x,y axises 675,325 the real world co-ordinates?

In Visio, it seems to me that there is no way to change world origin.
My alternative is that you put a shape as an origin you wish,
and caluculate the points from the shape, there is a function named as
"LocToLoc" to be used in the shape sheet.
