Setting Geographic Location to British OS Grid

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have recently bought a new laptop and upgraded to Autocad 2019. My previous employer had all of our computers set so that if you were to 'ID' a point it would give you the associated British OS Grid co-ordinates. I am now working for myself and am trying to set up my laptop to do the same. I have tried 'Set Location' but am a bit concerned that typing in the latitude and longitude of what I think is the correct co-ordinate and then 'hoping' that the Geomap lands in the correct place leaves too much of a margin for error. I have found several GIS Co-ordinate systems that seem applicable but am not sure which one is correct. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

 Hi, 

 

Have you looked at setting a location by map ? Once a location is set you will be able to display the geographic coordinates. OSGB works as British National Grid.
