Is there a way to import bing or google images into 2014 similar to the way C3D use to allow with google? Not just to view on screen but to use.

I am trying to create drawings for a client where we want to have everything coordinate correct and the correct dimension for roads and other info. Their units are set to Engineer and Unitless (which I do not have control over). Plus we assign a state plane coordinate system to the drawing.
When I import lidar information from a .shp file it may be placing the lines/images correctly, but I'm measuring 5' for a road that is actually 60' (I did notice that it is a multiple of 12). I can't scale everything up by 12 from the origin - because then I would lose the coordinates... In Decimal - everything is fine (naturally =] )
How do I bring in information and have it measure correctly? And more importantly, that I can then draw correctly.

I ran into a problem after just installing Civil 3D 2010 when I tried to import an image and elevation data from google earth. The message box says the following:
The Feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.Click OK to try again, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package 'Google Earth.msi' in the box below.
Does you can still import a google earth image into civil 3d 2013 and if so what are the steps to do so.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just installed 2013 on my pc yesterday. The first task I was given was to import a Google Earth image into AutoCAD to try to get some dimensions on a house for an exhibit. I open Google Earth and set my location to import, then I go to the Render tab, select Set Location, I click Import the current location from Google Earth, click Continue, then i get an error message saying Class not registered.

When I exported same alignment to Google earth , it showed the length as 190m ( the difference increases with increase in length of alignment) And also the profile view of the alignment in the Civil D & Google earth varies.
I am using Autocad LT 2013. I wish to use Autocad to draw subdivision lines and need to overlay satellite imagery (Google Earth or Google Maps) in tandem with Garmin GPS waypoints taken in the field.
In the 'type a command' ribbon, when I type in 'GEOGRAPHICLOCATION' and select 'Import the current location from Google Earth' (opens Google Earth, where you can retrieve a location to import).
Then a window appears which says 'Navigate to the location in Google Earth that you want to import before continuing (for best results, configure the view in Google Earth to look directly over the location that you want to import).
When I select 'continue' the command ribbon asks that I, 'select a point for the location <0, 0, 0>:
I have looked at the co-ordinates on google earth and attempted to enter but it does not feel right. Then says 'specify the north direction or (angle):s, then 'Point or option keyword required'.
Any way to have the ability to draw subdivision lines on satellite imagery. Garmin's Basecamp will allow drawing on top of google earth but I do not want tracks, I will only use the waypoints made by the gps device, but I need to draw measured lines that reflect the co-ordinates of the location.
I just upgraded my entire department to 2013 from 2008. We can no longer import aerial images from Google Earth, publish KMLs or export generic Microstation design files (we have to choose from V7 & V8.)
I can't beleive this "upgrade" actually downgraded our functionality as a department. We can no longer provide sevices to those requiring these file formats and will be forced to discontinue the use of CAD for many of our projects.

How do I print drawings with such maps. I cannot seem to find the way to make it print in the layout. Otherwise it is a great new feature!
View 4 Replies View RelatedMonths back I did this project with multiple surfaces and exported them to Google Earth with no problem. Today, I'm trying to update a surface with some changes. After the changes, I tried to re-export it to Google Earth, but for some reason it's coming in really small. I have my units and zones set to what they have always been.The surface is highlighted in yellow, but it should take up roughly the size of the red circle.

For example at a given location GE reports 538 but the c3d surface report 164 a factor of 3.28. sounds like a meter thing going on. is this normal?

Is ther a setting I am missing? In GE the ground elevation is reported as 45, but on import (drawing set to state plane) the elevation is 15?

I am trying to import a surface and Image from Google Earth. Basically my steps are as follows:
start GE and C3D find area that I need on GE and zoom in under C3D, insert GE Image and Surface (then it goes straight into select point, and rotation)
Like most discussions i've read.., the import slows down at 49%, and then it chugs for hours if I let it. So i have to cut the cord and re-start both programs.
I saw in a discussion that there are settings that we can change the rows and columns to something like 70x70.
however.... I cannot find where to update this. I typed importgesurface, and clicked on the ribbon as well..., then tried to right click, but it does not take me to the settings. I also figured that I might have to run C3d as admin, but no luck either.
find these settings so I can change them to import a surface and image that is about 15acres?

I wanted to public this design to Google Earth, but some how the model is flat wiith existing ground. I did choose "Drape entities on ground" and also tried "elevation relative to ground" it is sitll a flat model.

Now that details of the R2013 version of AutoCAD Civil 3D are public, I wanted to update you on the status of Google Earth import and export workflows. The following statement summarizes where we are:
Due to limitations on the use of the Google Earth API, AutoCAD® Civil 3D® 2013 does not include API access to allow customers to import Google Earth imagery and/or surfaces directly into Civil 3D. We are aware of the importance of including preliminary surface and aerial imagery in your design workflows and are actively looking for an alternative. However, we cannot share any specific information about potential future product enhancements. When appropriate, we will communicate technology plans via various channels including Autodesk Labs, Facebook, Blogs and the Civil 3D Discussion Group.
As noted above, we'll update you as soon as we can share information on technology plans that target the workflow of incorporating readily available image and surface information into your design workflows.
How can i import Google earth to the original coordinate system in 2013 autocad civil 3d?

I have no problem bringing my google earth image and surface into autocad civil 3d 2011...but when I do bring it in the elevations are not correct...I'm bringing in a google image that have an island over water.... the units are wrong even though i changes to units in autocad...what do I have to do in order for google earth to import the correct elevation into autocad civil 3d 2011 ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSpeeding up the process of working from home but importing pictures from the server at work.
I've been bringing the pictures in as raster images from the work Network rather than saving the pictures to my C:drive as I don't want them to disappear, losing the link when others access the drawing from work.
When I do this everything slows down....
...Even saving the drawing back to the Network can take in excess of 40mins...
Is it possible on AutoCAD LT to embed the images but not make the drawing to big to work with?
Importing images from specific folders is including images from outside selected folders.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.
I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.
I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert, mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.
I have been trying to import/export information to create a flood map using hec ras. I succesfully (not without some pain), imported the geometric data into HEC RAS and did my analysis. I create the .sdf and try to import it to Civil 3D, but, while it appears to have imported succesfully, it does not show the water lines.
As a matter of fact, CIVIL3D indicates at some point that the minimim and maximum elevations are both 0.00m.
I checked the .sdf file, which I attach, and it looks fine to me. It has the information of the water level as it should.
