[GIS] Using Spatial Adjustment to georeference shapefile

arcgis-10.3arcgis-desktopshapefilespatial-adjustment

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?

Had to either select all features or go into Select Adjust Data... and choose the All Features in These Layers: option.
