Assign a Coordinate System

Is there a way to assign a coordinate system in basic AutoCad?  I know how it works in Civil and Map but have been asked if it is possible in AutoCad.  Any and all ideas are appreciated.

Read about the UCS [= User Coordinate System] command.

I think the OP is asking about real-world coordinate systems - State Plane etc. since he referenced Map.

 

The GEO command can assign a coordinate system, but in terms of mapping and civil, it's not useful.  If the OP doesn't want to invest in Map3d or Civil3d, then possibly look into a 3rd party tool such as Mapworks from DotSoft.
