Note: the variable GEOMAPMODE carry the current display mode of any map overlay from the online service Microsoft BING. The next method of listing the name of the current coordinate system is the LISP function in the mapping versions of AutoCAD:Ī similar function can be achieved (and also in plain AutoCAD) using the variable CGEOCS. Under the button "Select Coordinate System" (or through the command MAPCASSIGN) you can find the EPSG code of a given system - search for the name of the CS from the first dialog box: This setting is stored in the Registry in HKCU\Software\Autodesk\ AutoCAD\R23.0\ ACAD-2001:409\Profiles\PROFILENAME\StatusBar\Application\GeoCoordSys (1/0).Īnother option for displaying the current coord.system (CS) is the dialog of the mapping command ADESETCRDSYS (N/A in plain AutoCAD): And in AutoCAD through the setting "GIS coordinates" in the hamburger menu "Customize" in the right down corner. Cloud storage connectivity: Access any DWG file. Integrated workflows: Work smoothly across desktop, web, and mobile devices. AutoCAD mobile app: View, create, and edit AutoCAD drawings via iOS and Android devices.

This option in the status bar can be enabled in Civil/Map through the command MAPSTATUSBAR with its option Show/Hide. Whats included: AutoCAD web app: View, create, and edit AutoCAD drawings from any computer with no software install required.


If you need to find out, which coordinate system is currently assigned, you can detect it directly in the CAD application's status bar: How to find the map coordinate system of a drawing?ĪutoCAD allows to select, assign and transform hundreds of frequently used mapping (GIS) coordinate systems from the whole world, by their name or EPSG code.įor this, you can use either the specialized functions available in AutoCAD Map 3D and Civil 3D, or - sice version 2015 - also a plain AutoCAD and its function GEOGRAPHICLOCATION.
