More of Dave's way. 

 

1. Assign a coordinate system

2. insert/import/data connect an object or shape file

3. Use GEOMAP command, if you are not logged on to A360 it will ask you to,

GEOMAP ask me if I want to use online maps but never presents me with a sign in dialog, and I get no map

This is getting riduclous. How can it work for some and not others? What in the name of Mike can I be doing wrong?

Just click yes to use the live maps, if you are already signed on to any Autodesk servers it may not ask you to sign in or if your browser is checked to remember sign in & password. I found out that if you use LL83 coordinate system if doesn't display the maps either, are you using a state plane CS?

Hi Allen

because its paid for and should function. I do use the CH tiles. The premise here is versatility and efficiency, as sold. At this point it is the principle of the matter; it sold as, told as and should work as sold and told.

Joe,

 

Try watching the attached video & see if that helps.

I grabbed some data from link provded by Allen and was able to get the Bing map to come in correctly here.

Joe,

 

OK, let's try something and see if we can isolate the problem. Here's a 2015 drawing, default Imperial Template, with one single point and coord system set to AZ State Plane. Open this drawing and then try to bring up Bing Maps. If you don't have the Geolocation Ribbon, then just command-line it like Murph does. Report back.

I guess the real intrigue is if I can simply turn on a map as opposed to going to the CH locating the tiles, down loading and inserting; I might feel a productivity boost.

Thanks Dave

I used your file in 2015 and it worked, exported and opened in 2014 and it worked. 360 asked me to sign in and all went according to Hoyle.

New file, set NAD88 LISP, geo refefed out LI boundary and nothing happened, didn't get asked to sign in or anything? Very frustrating

Joe,

 

That is weird. Does your boundary have COGO points or is it just lines? If you've got points, post a text file.
