How can I convert the map grid coordinate system of a drawing?
Requires BricsCAD V24 Professional or greater.
You can convert a drawing from one map grid coordinate system to another in BricsCAD using the GEOIMPORT command. The steps required to do this are:
Set Source coordinate system
In the source drawing you want to convert, check whether the coordinate system has been declared. If set, the current coordinate system will be shown on the status bar.
Set Target coordinate system
OPEN or begin a NEW Target drawing. Run the GEOGRAPHICLOCATION command, then search and assign the target coordinate system you want to convert to. Following this make sure that you SAVE your drawing!
Run GEOIMPORT
With the target coordinate system assigned, run the GEOIMPORT command to import your source drawing. As part of the import process BrisCAD will convert the coordinates in the source drawing to the target drawing.
