Picks a geographic location for a reference point in the drawing area. It also specifies the GIS coordinate system relative to which the geographic location is defined.
List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Search
Specifies the location to find. You can specify a postal address, or the latitude and longitude values of a location. If you specify a partial postal address, search results typically contain multiple matching locations.
Map
Displays a map from an online maps service. You can use the navigation bar to zoom and pan. You can right-click a location to mark it.
NoteThe map is unavailable when you are not signed in to Autodesk 360, or if the map server is not reachable.
-
Road Style
-
Displays the map as a series of vector images of roads, buildings, and geography.
-
Automatic Style
-
Automatically selects the best style depending on the zoom setting.
-
Aerial Style
-
Overlays satellite images onto the map and highlights roads and major landmarks.
-
Bird's Eye Style
-
Overlays images captured by low flying aircrafts on to the map. Unlike the aerial style, the bird's eye style images are captured at an angle of 45 degrees, to give a better perception of depth. Where image captures are not available, the online maps service digitally manipulates the aerial style to provide an oblique appearance.
Marker
-
-
Centers the map around the marker, and adjusts the zoom so that the area around is clearly visible.
-
Latitude
-
Displays the latitude of the marked location in the format specified by the GEOLATLONGFORMAT system variable . The valid range is -180 to +180. Positive values represent east longitudes.
-
Longitude
-
Displays the longitude of the marked location in the format specified by the GEOLATLONGFORMAT system variable. The valid range is -90 to +90. Positive values represent north latitudes.
-
Elevation
-
Displays the elevation of the marked location in meters. This parameter is optional.
NoteThe elevation you specify here has no connection with the ELEVATION system variable. The elevation system variable does not contain any geographic location information.
-
-
Makes the Latitude, Longitude and Elevation boxes available for editing.
-
-
Saves changes made to the Latitude, Longitude and Elevation boxes and exits edit mode.
-
-
Cancels changes made to the Latitude, Longitude and Elevation boxes and exits edit mode.
Drawing Units
Specifies the unit of measurement used to represent one drawing unit in the drawing. Before you start to draw, you must decide what one drawing unit will represent based on what you plan to draw. Then you create your drawing at actual size with that convention. The program uses this information to appropriately place and scale georeferenced objects. For example, to scale a map in model space.
GIS Coordinate System
Specifies the GIS coordinate system that is referenced by the geographic locations in the drawing file.
