Geographic location
Geographic location functionality is significantly streamlined and enhanced in AutoCAD 2015. You can set the geographic
location from a map using the Set Location tool on the Insert Ribbon tab.
You must be signed into your Autodesk 360 account to access Online Map Data.
If you’re not signed into Autodesk 360 or you choose not to use Online
Map data, you can still use the Geographic Location tool to enter
latitude and longitude for the location. A new Use Maps button is
added at the center of the display in case you change your mind.
When using online map data, the Geographic Location tool has been
streamlined to help guide you through the process of specifying a
geographic location. The first page of the Geographic Location tool
enables you to specify a location and place a marker. You can specify a
location by entering an address or zooming in the map tile. Right-click
to drop the maker in the map or click on “Drop marker here” from the
locations listed. You can move the marker as often as needed with no
impact on performance.
