AutoCAD 2021 map question

Anonymous — Fri, 13 Nov 2020 18:48:16 GMT

Hi AutoCAD gurus,

I have a question related to using Bing maps data in AutoCAD.

I used the GEO command to bring a Bing map in a drawing, but the map cover an area way too large and makes my computer struggle to work in the drawing, how can I crop unneeded parts of the map?

Idk if I am clear, I included the drawing as an attachment

I really only need the part of the map that is in the square, how can i achieve this?

Thanks for your time

@Anonymous ,

Use this "Capture Area" option, or the GEOMAPIMAGE command, to capture your desired area as an image. then you can turn off your Aerial map and utilize layering for your captured geo image.

Best,
