Assign Global Coordinate System dialog box
Use this dialog box to assign a coordinate system before you bring objects or
features into the current drawing.
To assign a coordinate system to the current drawing (page 147)
Click Map Setup tab ➤ Coordinate System panel ➤ Assign.
When you bring objects and features into the current drawing, AutoCAD Map
3D checks whether the coordinate system assigned to the object or feature
matches that of the current drawing. If it does not, AutoCAD Map 3D
transforms the object or feature to the current drawing’s coordinate system.
If you edit and save the object or feature back to its source, AutoCAD Map 3D
transforms it back to its original coordinate system.
Current Drawing
You cannot assign a coordinate system to the current drawing if it contains
any objects that have been queried from source drawings. If you are using the
Canadian National Transformation, you must copy the data files to the
Autodesk shared coordinate system directory.
