Then click on Convert to DXF file button. Select KML to CAD option from Modules drop down menu.Ĭlick on Browse button and select the KML or KMZ file to be converted. Login to with your email id and respective password.
KML to CAD will convert all the point information present in KML that is Latitude Longitude to respective UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) and prepares it as a DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) file which can be opened in CAD Packages like AutoCAD. These files cannot be opened in AutoCAD Directly, which works on Cartesian coordinate system. You can mark locations & paths in Google Earth and save it as a KML file. To make survey drawings more accurate with respect to location, WGS 84, needs to be used while recording the field data. Google earth on the other hand uses world geodetic system, WGS84 Map datum to represent data.
Surveyors use Cartesian coordinates System (quadrant) to represent a point. In a very short time Google Earth became very popular ( With simply powerful interface Google Earth combines and displays stunning graphics and a planet full of data to which anyone may add information and share that information with the rest of the world in just a few clicks. This has enabled surveyors a greater opportunity to impress clients and make it more understandable. With Google Earth there is a way to represent two-dimensional drawings to be shown in three dimensions, with an understandable backdrop of Earth Image. Mostly, surveyors display their information for clients with maps and two-dimensional graphics (Cartesian coordinate system), either on paper or digitally. This created the opportunity for surveyors to present their data in Geographic Coordinate Systems. Google Earth implementation has brought in a new dimension for visualization.
