Transform a DWG File to a Different Coordinate System

AutoCAD Map 3D Workflow

 
Transform a DWG File to a Different Coordinate System
 
 
 

You can transform the coordinate system for drawing objects by adding them to a map that uses a different coordinate system.

 
 
 

Open or create a new drawing using a map template

   

Choose the target coordinate system for the source drawing

   

Attach the drawing whose coordinate system you want to change

   

Specify the drawing’s current coordinate system

   

Bring in the objects you want from the attached drawing

   

Right-click the drawing in Map Explorer and choose Detach

   

The drawing objects you brought in use the new coordinate system, but the original drawing is unchanged.
