H,

 

Bing Live Maps automatically comes into your drawing at whatever Coordinate System you have set in Drawing Settings. I don't know of any way to manipulate Live Maps, i.e., rotate, translate, or ALIGN. Every time I've used Live Maps, it's been spot on, but I've heard others say that some maps don't come in at the right location. So maybe you've got one of those situations. Perhaps someone else will chime in with more information.

Try setting the Coordinate system first and have at least one object in the drawing before running GEOMAP command and then the Map will come in in proper location.

Geomap doesn't like blank drawings and needs an object in the dwg in vicinity of the map area to relate the map to.

Raja,

 

What version of C3D are you using? And what service pack? In your drawing what coordinate system have you assigned? Do you have anything in your drawing, like linework or a shapefile?

Live map is part of 360.

 

What you will need to do is set a coordinate zone.  This can also be done in map if you know how to do it there already it will probably be faster.

 

To do this in C3D you need to go to the settings tab.  Go all the way to the top where the drawing name is.  Right click and select "Drawings Settings."  Select your coordinate zone and away you go.

 

Attached it a 2013 screen shot which is the same as every other C3D release.

Raja,

 

I don't think this is possible. Can you explain a little why you need to move or rotate the Live Maps imagery?

Because the autocad geographic map is not matching our project
coordinate.but i know our project coordinate are corrected.
so its mean geographic map have any mistake.

Raja,

 

OK, well maybe this clever trick from @mathewkol will work:

We need more information to be able to help you.  What coordinate system are you using?  What settings have you applied in the Transformation tab of the Drawing Settings dialog?

 

You should consider posting your drawing; it will be easier that way.

Raja,

 

"...geographic map is not matching our project coordinate."

 

We need to see what you are seeing. As @sboon suggested, please post your drawing, or at least a screenshot of what is not matching.

Hello,

 

For some reason your screenshots are very poor resolution, which makes it very difficult to see what may be the problem.  I don't have CAD available right now but I'm pretty sure that the answer will be in the drawing settings.  I posted some information in this old post which may be helpful - please post more screenshots showing what values you drawing has for these dialogs.
