AutoCAD - Geographic Location Options (Road / Aerial / Bird's Eye / Streetside)

mdarien4AQ94 — Wed, 04 Jan 2023 12:18:08 GMT

When I use the geographic location command, it is primarily working with the aerial view. The road view is obviously very similar to the aerial view. What about the other 2 views, however? I cannot seem to find any type of training related to the bird's eye or streetside views in the geographic location. When and what are these primarily used for? 2D or 3D drawings?

Where in Autocad do you see "Bird's Eye" or "Streeside" options? Can you post a screen shot of that?

After typing in the "geo" command, it's an option in the top right corner.

Those are just for that window to help you set/specify your location if you need them. You can't use those views in the drawings. You can only have Aerial, Road or a Hybrid of both in the drawing.

Interesting. I was imagining there was some cool 3D thing where I could load up a file to be similar to google street view. My laptop would love me for that. Thanks for the response!

Street view in a drawing would be awesome but it currently isn't an option.
