I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

Is it possible to assign easting & northing coordinates(gps coordinates) to origin or any other point in drawing so that i can find the others with respect to that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am having a little trouble with gps coordinates. I am trying to snap to a specific gps coordinate on my layout. I have a "gps block" that spits out the proper coordinates but i am not sure how to move to a specif point. My layout is set up such that when i use my "gps block" on a known point it spits out the northing and easting, however, when i try to actually type in a specif northing and easting, it is no where near the point i am looking for on the layout.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI recieved a drawing in which the coordinate values are a thousand times too high; they are in millimeters and I need them in meters. I checked the settings of the drawing, and it clearly says that it´s in millimeters, but it doesn't change the setting or to copy the whole drawing into a new file with meter settings.
How I can change the coordinates to meters?
I'm trying to create a surface from a DEM (as a *.adf file)
How to convert between coordinate systems. (a UTM system to a State Plane)
How do I control the elevation values? My DEM has x,y coordinates in meters, but elevation values are in feet...
So far what's happening is that I end up with all the z values multiplied by 3.08... (I assume it is trying to convert the meters to feet..., but since I already have feet in the DEM ... no good)
I'd like to know what the point of the false northing and easting is as it's defined in some coordinate systems. My understanding was this was an issue many years ago so that any coordinate values that were extracted for use in a db would be positive values. However, I'm not sure that is an issue any longer for most applications so is there any point to using a coordinate system with those values?

I am working on a pipeline profile. I have survey information (existing surface) and the horizontal alignment. I have created an existing surface, a pipe alignment, and a surface profile/profile view.
In the profile view, it only showed the existing surface. Now I have taken the design information of the pipeline and drawn in the vertical alignment on the profile view.
I need a surveyor to go out and shoot the top of pipe at high points, low points, and select points in between.
I have placed a pvi for each of these locations.
I need to know how to either spit out a table of these points that will include northings and eastings or create cogo points from the pvis so that i can create a table from the points that will include northings and eastings.
I would like to create a toolbar command to label northing and easting. I know I can label it using Note Label, but can I make this into a macro with a shortcut button?

I've got a user who imports points into the survey database and RANDOMLY the points will be shifted on average 27 feet in the northing and 4 feet in the easting. She notices this because she'll check a point and see tht the northing and easting varies from the grid northing and easting (I've attached an image to view) She will then discard the drawing and begin a new one only to import the data and now it imports correctly. The behavior is completely random and it's happening on multiple projects.
All the projects begin with the same template. All the settings (drawing settings and survey settings) have been set to US Survey Foot. It's weird because once the issue is noticed it can be fixed by simply beginning another drawing and re-importing the data, but it has happened on projects where she's already got pre-existing data.
how would i add a static offset to the both the northing and easting to all my points? i need to add 3.02 feet to the northing and 0.56 feet to the easting. elevation is good, but the positions all need to be shifted.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to export to an Excel Spread Sheet (along a 15,000 foot alignment) the Station and Norhing-Easting at every 100' station tic. The only solution I can think of is to place a point at every 100' tic and export the points to a file. I can then put in Excel and edit the point number to reflect the correct station.

Im sure I have read somewhere about scaling it but being a newbie im not sure how to do this and cant find where id read it on the web.
I have a set of dimensions in meters and I am trying to automatically convert to feet. So I am going to the Dimension Style that rules the numbers that I want to convert and after clicking in Modify button>Primary Units I go to Linear dimensions group and change the Unit format from decimal to Architectural and 100 m turns to 8' - 4" not to 328.08'.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been sent a DWG floor plan from a firm in South America. The existing file is Type: Decimal and Units to scale: Meters. We need to convert the file to a useable architectural and feet set up. I know that I will need to scale the existing dwg however I am not sure what the exact steps are or what I should scale it by. Should I change the drawing units first and then scale? Or the other way around? Biggest thing I need is the scale factor.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have Autocad Map3D 2010. I have a set of points in a CSV file containing points, latitude and longitude, in columns, that I want to import to a map and place the points (houses) in the appropriate locations with the house number. I click IMPORT, MAP IMPORT, select my file as PNE and the data in the preview window appears correctly. I'm using OH83-SF coordinate code which the map is. When I click OK it appears to have completed the command but nothing appears on the map and I get no error notifications. As a test I put an incorrect value in one of the lists and it did flag the error. I've tried space delimiters, commas, txt and Excell tables and always the same - nothing. I've tried the command line MULTIPLE POINTS and entered the geo coordinates and again - nothing appears on the map.

Work has finally given me a machine that can run AutoCAD properly and I now also have the office license of full AutoCAD 2011 (vanilla AutoCAD not architecture etc.)
I am about to start placing a lot of setting our coordinates onto some drawings and was wondering what the easiest/fastest way to produce setting out coordinates utilising all the fancy stuff AutoCAD has.
On LT I used to place points where I wanted the coordinates from, copy a peice of MText around say E:XXXXX N:XXXXXX with a leader from the point to the text. I would then go around listing each individual point and copy and paste from the AutoCAD text window to the MTEXT correcting the decimal point manually.
My director on this job hates tables of coordinates so I can't use them. Also the datum of the drawings is not world UCS, would this be a problem? I have looked at the LISP tutorial but have never used any LISP beyond this.
I was wondering if there was a way to set a point in autocad LT 08 using coordinates.

I am looking for a method to export all the GPS coordinates which have been assigned to each point along with the properties of that point to an excel csv.
In our drawings, there are multiple columns and each column has four points and each point has X,Y,Z coordinates. I want to export all this information to an excel sheet.
In autocad 8, how could I get the XYZ coordinates of a point, on the drawing. With ID or list command it is possible to get the coordinates of a point, but they would not appear on the drawing the way dimensions do.
