Geo-Reference Page (Export KML Wizard)

Use this page to transform the coordinates of the objects to geographical coordinates.

Drawing Coordinate System Transform

Automatically transforms X, Y, Z coordinates of the drawing data into geographical coordinates. This option is not available if the drawing does not have a coordinate system defined.

User-Defined Transform

Transforms the drawing data using specified geographical coordinates.

DWG Location

Specifies the coordinate value in the drawing. Click to select a point in the drawing to be associated with the specific position on the Earth’s surface, or enter the coordinates in the X and Y fields.

  • X: The X-coordinate of the point in the drawing to be associated with the specific longitudinal position on the Earth’s surface.
  • Y: The Y-coordinate of the point in the drawing to be associated with the specific latitudinal position on the Earth’s surface.
Earth Position (in Decimal Degrees)

Specifies the coordinate values of the points on the Earth’s surface in decimal degrees. Click to specify the location from a map or a file, or enter coordinates in the Longitude and Latitude fields.

  • Longitude: The longitudinal position of the point on the Earth’s surface that is associated with the X-coordinate of a specific point on the drawing.
  • Latitude: The latitudinal position of the point on the Earth’s surface that is associated with the Y-coordinate of a specific point on the drawing.
Rotation

Specifies the rotation (in decimal degrees) of the positive Y-axis in the drawing to the North direction. Click to specify the rotation from a map or a file, or enter a value in the Rotation field.
