Hi, my problem of the day is, I want to have a piece of text added to the drawing notes that uses a field (or similar), to list the coordinate system code assigned to the drawing, i.e. UTM83-12.
Does anyone know if there’s a setvar or something that I can use?
I’m in Canada and they have a load of different coordinate systems to choose from, and I don’t want to have to manually enter it for every drawing.
Thanks

Jeff,
Should that second line be (setuser1) ? That runs the setuser1 routine in your lisp and give me the correct coordinate system. (setusers1) gives me an error. This is in C3D 2012.
Maybe It's just me. Looks like all others are having no problem.

Yes, Allen. I realized I had not included the s in the lisp as I was typing the reply. I went and changed the lisp but looks like I forgot to save it prior to attaching it so the version without it got posted. So yes, either your correction needs to be done or the name of the lisp function needs to be edited.
Hi All,
It might bee too late but I beleive it can help others having same problem. You may use "cgeocs" variable in field to show drawing coordinate system.
Cheers.
Please mark it as a correct answer if it is usefull for you!
Just noticed there was a second page, trying to delete my comment. Answer has been provided with "cgeocs"!

HORAY - all things come to he who waits 🙂
I assuming you use Civil 2018....? I'm still on 2015 and connect to shapefiles (SHPs) all the time.
Is all the mapping functionality still there?
I'm nervous about asking to get upgraded and then loose the ability to do the things I can do now.
Thanks
Does anyone know if there is an update to this or easier sollution for Autocad Map 3d 2019? Please
As @Anonymous suggested. Use the CGEOCS variable in a text or Mtext Field.

Not sure if you use sheet sets but you can create a SheetSetCustom Property and link a text field to that custom property in your notes. attached is screenshot of the field being linked to the custom sheet set properties

Thank you Allen. This is what I was looking for. I spent so long trying to figure out what to call it so that I can do a search.
Much appreciated.
Hello,
I know it might be too late. But I saw this post recent.
I could be populate Field. Other/SystemVariable/cgeocs .
cgeocs, system variable uses current coordinate system code.
Regards.
Just a few years late, but there's an out-of-the-box option to get it by inserting a field and point to the SystemVariable category and pick "cgeocs".
