    Find decimal degrees from autocad coordinates

    Good day.

     

    I received a DWG file from one of our clients, of the metro of a city. It was exported from another viewer, and now I need to find specific points on the map, and then find the exact decimal degrees.

     

    What I'm getting now is only the autocad co-ordinates ie. -73000.4049  -2886295.2588

     

    That is not what I want. I want something like  S26.08124 E28.27016

     

    I'm working on Win 7 Pro 64bit

    Autocad LT 2013

     

    Please help.

    Thanks,

    Christiaan

    Try using the zoomp command to zoom to a specific point and try turning you mspoints layer on and clicking on your desired coordinate. That might work.
