Geo Referencing Error

I'm trying to geo reference an ECW file in CAD

I'm getting the coordinate reference from the Qgis and importing the shape file in the dxf format

when i try to align it is not aligning to the same point as Qgis.

 

Help me out on the same

Hi @karthi17.bk,
Need more details please. Screen shots of the problem would help to see what you see.

Hi @karthi17.bk 

If you’re trying to import an ecw file, consider this: ecw (enhanced compression wavelet) is Hexigon’s proprietary format used for satellite imagery and aerial photography. The format for aerials & imagery is known generally as Rasters b/c they’re pixels (or pictures). 

 

On the other hand, the dxf format is a vector (or clickable-type of objects) such as points, lines and polygons. 

If you are using QGIS, then open both the ecw and shapefile in QGIS then export the ecw using a raster format such as a jpeg or png. Don’t forget to create an accompanying world file for the image so it can be georeferenced when used in a geospatial capable program. (The exported image will take-on or adopt the same projection as the shapefile

since they’re both sitting in the same QGIS file.) You can also export to geotiff, a special type of raster that does NOT require a world file b/c the world file is ‘built into’ the image itself.

 

Once you’ve ‘properly’ exported the image from QGIS, you can import it to AutoCAD where the newly exported jpeg/png and the shapefile will be georef’d from the same QGIS projection.

I assume you're doing this using AutoCAD Map & not just vanilla AutoCAD?
