24e. Insert Map Raster Image Scale

How to Insert a Google Map as a Raster Image in Scale in AutoCAD?

If you have the need to insert or insert a Google Map into AutoCAD at some SCALE and customize your drawing and you did not know how to, look at this tutorial. I hope that I will can explain to the beginners.

STEP 1.
The map you want to insert into your AutoCAD drawing must be in the same folder as the DWG file of your drawing.

STEP 2.
In the text menu, click Insert => Raster Image Reference...

STEP 3.
Find the folder in which the Map file is located, then select it and then click Open.

Select Image File in AutoCAD
STEP 4.
On the newly opened dialog in the "Image" window, Uncheck options for Insertion Point, Scale, Rotation and click OK.

STEP 5.
You are now inserting a map from the file. (Do not pay attention to my copy because this is just for tutorials, I did not have a map in real scale). Click on the inserted map to select it and then DTM (Right mouse button) => Properties. Or after selecting a text menu, select the Properties button from the graphic menu.

STEP 6.

Raster Image Scale of Map
On the new open Properties menu "Raste Image", locate the SCALE field and enter the ratio of the Scale to the intended purpose. Of course here you need to know the relationship of scales. The MAP will be inserted in 1:1. (eg: if you put 0.25 it means you will reduce it 4 times because it is 0.25 => 1/4 of the whole). Make sure that you enter the correct decimal number with the dot. If you put the value 10 then the map will be enlarged 10 times. After entering the SCALE value, press Enter and close the Properties Menu (Raster Image) box.
STEP 7.
And finally our inserted Google Map in AutoCAD, looks like this in the picture below.

15-13a. AutoCAD Export Coordinates Points to CSV

Image
How to Export Coordinates of Points Using LISP to AutoCAD Since this web tutorial is intended for beginners, here I will describe how to export Coordinates for specific points in the drawing. Take for example that the drawings have points that are set to specific coordinates (this is quite used in geodesy, but mostly  MAP CAD programs  and some already have built-in  LISP  Export programs). In the picture below, notice that I have created several points on the desktop. Note that with the cursor I have an extra cloud with the coordinate position if I click on the position where the cursor is currently located. (this cloud can be switched on/off at the  DYN  button (dynamic input) How to use LISP? To use this option ( export coordinates to CSV file ), a file that has the extension ' * .lsp ' is used. This so-called scripted code needs to be copied to the "some" folder. Usually this is the  AutoCAD folder  that contains other files with...

24d. Plot in Color Thickness Lines

Image
How to Plot in Color and Thickness of Lines on printed paper in AutoCAD. If you probably have a problem with the  Thickness Line  (not to say the width of the line because some use this expression) on the drawing or the  Color Line  on the drawing. If you are asking any of the following questions: Why are all the lines of the same thickness? How to change the thickness of the line on the drawing we print to the printer (plotting on the plotter)? AutoCAD does not print Color on the drawing? Why these questions? Well there is reason. Print black and white drawings are done over pre-prepared  CTB file  (also in color). To have the lines do not look like a toe, you need to experiment with the thickness of the line. If you want to print a drawing Floor plan of a building and you want to distinguish it from outer walls of interior, portions of drawings that display windows, doors and the like. Then you will set different line thicknesses in the...

24c. Ucsfollow Command Rotate Drawing

Rotating Drawing MODEL in AutoCAD - Ucsfollow Command In the previous tutorial, I showed how to  Rotate the drawing within the Constituent/Component . Here is the possibility of Rotating the other way when Plotting Drawings. This method of Rotating images in Layout Model when plotting is often used in geodesy at plotting KCBR (particles) that copies of the cadastral plan, if the particles are bigger in size than A4 paper and can't fit into the framework of Model Layout. (eg, a plan was drawn at a scale of 1:2000 and we have plot on A4 paper, and " Plot scale " scale 1:1, in fact, we print it on paper dimensions are in scale 1:2000) That they would not plot on tracing paper A3 sometimes it is enough to rotate a drawing that plan and the rotation of the entire plan, a particle can be placed within the model. When rotating the drawing in  Layout Model/Paper  should bear in mind that the drawing in our real model does not rotate, no matter what we rotate conducted within ...
