[@ScottFairley-sv4yg]

Super clear tutorial. Nice and fast paced, too. Subscribed.

Thank you!

[@Nobody-pp4vr]

Thank you bro, appreciate it👍

[@pablomartinbussi6514]

Great tutorial! I could perfectly implement the maps by carefully following your explanation.

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Pablo, Glad to hear that the tutorial was helpful! Thank you for the nice comment!

[@andrewmesulamtalai1494]

Thank you so much sir.... Makes time shorter when dealing with this type of work.... Thank you

[@CivilTechSource]

You are welcome!

[@MrDrewbies]

Great workaround. I've been opening the file in Civil 3D and setting the co-ordinate system by right clicking the file name in the settings tab of the prospector. For some reason it's not as easy in AutoCAD but this seems to work.

[@CivilTechSource]

Civil 3D is a beast! I am no surprised that autocad can be less straightforward

[@MrDrewbies]

@@CivilTechSource it's surprising that AutoCAD hasn't implemented an easier way of setting the co-ordinate system like you can in Civil 3D

Great video, no waffle!

[@CivilTechSource]

Thank you.

[@williamfox6120]

I would like to give you a thumbs up but it does not show. It only has the thumbs down. Good tutorial. Thanks

[@CivilTechSource]

No worries! Still thank you for the comment.

[@abbasqader8006]

I liked your way of explaining lessons. I hope you explain about civil 3D, especially about directing paintings.

[@CivilTechSource]

Civil3D is coming very soon... Like full course as I will be switching to Civil3D design.

PERFECT! THANK YOU!

You are welcome 😊

Great Workaround! But what about Dubai? as Grid Finder works only for UK? Any suggestion?

[@CivilTechSource]

I would assume we need to find the formula of converting the latitude and longitude for dubai into easting and northing, have you tried a Google search?

Hey there I really like your ribbon bar setup is there a way of manually downloading it or would this be a manual job?

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Nathan, if you mean the default ribbon and set out of everything, I could send you the CUI file, but if you mean the custom ribbon that I made for CTS (you can see it in my other videos) then I am afraid I cannot share that one as I am in the process of setting it up to sell it on my website. Drop me an email to send you the CUI for the setup you see in this video.

do you know which GIS coordinate system is most commonly used in USA?

[@CivilTechSource]

I would imagine each state might have their own gis, just considering how big usa is.

[@mustafizrahman252]

What about Canada? Grid Finder works only for UK? Any suggestion? Nice tutorial.

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Mustafiz, thanks for the support! I did some research, depending on what easting and northing system you use you can use the following website to convert the lat & lon values to easting and northings rcn.montana.edu/Resources/Converter.aspx . Maybe any of our Canadian friends can help out?

[@mustafizrahman252]

@@CivilTechSource Thank you so much. I really appreciate your reply. Take care

Hi sir i want to ask. How to convert kmz to dwg geo location map.

[@CivilTechSource]

I would import it in QGIS and export intodwg/dxf. Or if you have AutoCAD Maps or Civil3D you can import the KMZ and convert it into dwg.

[@Jam-ht7ir]

Actually i tried this one with a cracked version of cad and the geolocation window won't budge. does that mean getting a license is required to use this feature

[@CivilTechSource]

Thats a good question, that actually might be the case as the map data is online and as we know anything cracked we cannot let it talk online

[@Jam-ht7ir]

@@CivilTechSource appreciated your response. thanks

[@acedoespvp]

@@Jam-ht7ir Requires your autodesk account to ping Bing maps. Its a frustrating system especially for some of us who have a spin off of AutoCAD like F/X Cad

[@nanjappac2235]

Grid reference finder works only for UK, how to get rest of the world? Specifically USA and India

[@CivilTechSource]

Good question! I think there is a website that converts lat and long do x and y depending on the GIS system you use.

[@ninozarandia-oj7no]

Hello, how do I enable geolocation in civil 2024?🙏🥺

[@CivilTechSource]

Check the insert tab > Set Location

[@ephrem.gizachew]

Thanks! But, the address ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpfQaWdunsh4pJY ) bar is not active to pest the coordinate. I use Autodesk AutoCAD 2020. What could be the problem with mine, Sir??

[@CivilTechSource]

Maybe it's the autocad version try using the latest version?

[@emmanuelsasimalenga1316]

Ur too fast

[@CivilTechSource]

Hi Emmanuel, there is an option in the video to reduce the speed. I am sorry, but you can always pause the video to follow through if that's what you are doing. Thanks for the feedback!
