AutoCAD Geographic Location Setting Tutorial It is a very useful function not only for cartographers but also for those who design buildings. The library of the coordinate system is the same as the library of AutoCAD Map 3D library. Since the identification of the geographical position is made using the coordinate system, AutoCAD 2014 includes most of the coordinate systems used worldwide. Using AutoCAD 2014 and Autodesk 360 application live geographic reference, data (Live Map data) can be connected to our drawings. Part of the engineering structures have fixed geographic location, and this geographical position is the defined characteristics of the object, as well. Why is setting geographic location useful?
