EXPORT DWG TO KML/KMZ

sanetdikkumbura1950 — Mon, 05 Jun 2023 05:02:42 GMT

hI,

This is a civil 3d drawing. This should be kml or kmz with all line type and parcel lines available here. (for google earth) Line type and parcel segments disappear when exported as usual. How to do it?
please help

You may need to export the Civil 3D drawing to AutoCAD then export the parcels to the kml/kmz format.

All results are a reflection of the output driver (Civil3D) and the graphics target (GE). Keep in mind that GE (unless changed recently) does not support linetypes. That means the output driver would have to send out several short segments. While that may look okay in GE it would be a mess on re-import of the content.

I assume you are using EXPORTKML in Civil 3d to export.

For the linetypes you can try this procedure outlined here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-map-3d-forum/exploding-a-linetype/td-p/5449063
