Use Google Maps in AutoCAD with ESRI System | Autocad-1
In this video, learn how to accurately use Google Maps data and the ESRI system within AutoCAD to create site plans, calculate areas, and verify coordinates. We'll walk through turning off the grid system for clarity, setting up proper units and dimensions, and using tools like AREA and POLYLINE to measure and draw real-world plots. This method is ideal for civil engineers, planners, surveyors, and architects working with real-world geospatial data.
