I have been asked to explore a new adventure. We are looking to put our campus facility on a AutoCAD drawing. We would like to locate the buildings, roads, fences, etc. as accurately as possible. We would then like to add utilities, such as water, sewer, drainage, gas, and other miscellaneous items. We are using Autodesk Plant Design Suite Ultimate.
I have searched the AutoCAD Discussion Group and have read several topics. I have imported in Google Map images and the resolution of the image files are not like I would have hoped for. I was wondering if there was another way to have a higher resolution image? I have Downloaded Google Earth Pro, but I don't know if I have gotten what I really want. We do not do this type of drafting on a daily bases. But we would like to know how we can get the job done efficiently.
As always, I have turned to this group, who in the past I have always valued and appreciated your input. I need your help once again.
- Is there a better way to achieve the process of getting a Google Map into AutoCAD?
- Or any other mapping source?
- Higher resolution for more accuracy?
Any and all opinions or comments are welcome. Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
