Set Geographic Location from a GIS File

You can insert geographic location information to a drawing file by importing the coordinates of a position mark from a *.kmz or *.kml file.

  1. Click Insert tabLocation panelSet Location drop-downFrom File Find
  2. In the Set Location from File dialog box, select the file to import the location from.
  3. Click Open.
    The Geographic Location dialog box displays. The Latitude and Longitude boxes show the extracted location. If the file contains multiple position marks, only the first is extracted.
    Note: If the Geolocation - Online Map Data task dialog box displays, close it by clicking any button.
  4. Click Next.
  5. In the GIS Coordinate System list, select a coordinate system.
    Tip: The coordinate system that has its datum closest to the marker location provides the best results. By default, this is the first coordinate system in the list.
  6. Click Continue.
  7. In the drawing area, click the position that corresponds to the location you specified.
  8. At the command prompt, enter the angle from the X axis to the north direction.
