We are using an existing DWG drawing as a template to write out to a new DWG. The template was created Zone 54 but some new drawings are in Zone 52 or Zone 53. Unfortunately we are finding that the output DWG is retaining the original Zone 54 even if we set the drawing to be another zone. Interestingly the output .prj shows that the projection is in the new zone but when we open it into AutoCAD the template Zone 54 is used.

Any ideas?
