How to import online map in Civil 3D at the correct coordinates

  1. In the command line, type MAPSTATUSBAR and choose "show". A new item will appear at the status bar in bottom of your screen, click the small triangle and choose "Library" to select your coordinate system, which will now be set in the drawing
  2. Type COORDS and set the value to "3" to see the latitude and longitude of the cursor
  3. Now proceed with the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION command, choosing the same coordinate system that you've set in step 1.) for your drawing.
  4. After setting the marker, note down its coordinates. In the next step of choosing the point in your drawing, type those coordinates in the format shown in the previous window.
  5. Your location should be now set at the correct coordinates, which you can check by placing your cursor on that point and reading off the correct latitudinal and longitudinal coorinates in the status bar
