Extracting GPS data for use to mark-out site.
Hi There!
Very new to CAD and teaching myself as I go. I've looked for solutions to this problem on the forum and youtube but nothing seems to make sense. So if anyone can explain this in layman terms would be appreciated please bare with me, I've tried including as much info as I can.
System -
Macbook Pro OSX
Autocad 2017
What I need to achieve -
Be able to export GPS co-ordinates from my CAD to use out onsite to markup using equipment similar to this Geomax Zenith 15.
The issue -
I started the CAD without planning on using a GPS; it's only something that has recently become an option to us. Does the plan need to start with this intention? Also does everything need to be an object to work with GPS co-ordinates?
My relevant Questions -
1. Do I need to go to site to collect reference points or can I just use google earth?
2. If I can use google earth or similar how do I import this data? (I've already created the CAD and built a scaled site on it)
3. How do I then relate the existing items within the drawing to reference the imported GPS co-ordinates?
4. How do I only export the GPS co-ordinates for the items I want to mark-out? (I can figure out the uploading to the GPS unit just not how to select only what I want.)
