Initial extent not working on my custom basemap? about cmv-app HOT 7 CLOSED

You need to update the wkid of the initialExtent to the proper projection (102100 is web mercator). Look here to find the wkid (well known ID) of your projection: http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jshelp/ref_coordsystems.html (look in the projected list). Looks like it might be 26717. Another way to find this would be to look at your published map service in the services directory page of your ArcGIS Server. It will tell you the spatial reference and wkid of your map service.

Also, make sure the coords are in your projection.

Well, I think the problem is that the data is projected in UTM Zone 17N US Ft when it's usually in meters

So when the data is changed to US Foot:

It puts the projection under Custom and the WKID goes away.

The WKID you mentioned above (26717) is for UTM Zone 17M in Meters.

I'm not sure what to do

Can you send me the url to the map service you are using for the basemap?

from cmv-app.

The url is not working for me. Is that an externally accessible url or internal only?

Yes, you have a custom projection. In this case you would set the spatial reference to the "wkt" (well known text). Get the well wkt from the services directory (the spatial reference string) and then create the spatial reference as described in the documentation here:
http://developers.arcgis.com/en/javascript/jsapi/spatialreference.html#spatialreference3

Your wkt is:
'PROJCS["NAD_1927_UTM_Zone_17N",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1927",DATUM["D_North_American_1927",SPHEROID["Clarke_1866",6378206.4,294.9786982]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Transverse_Mercator"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",1640419.947506562],PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0],PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-81.0],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",0.9996],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",0.0],UNIT["Foot",0.3048]]'

It worked! I realize this was probably out of scope but I really appreciate you taking the time to help.
