This is a fairly straight forward process.

Just go to Plex-Earth's ribbon in AutoCAD.

A) Go to the "Project" panel of Plex-Earth. B) Click "Set Georeference". C) Choose the "Coordinate System" option. D) Define the following, for our example drawing: "Country" -> Colombia "Coordinate System" -> Bogota / Colombia West Zone (EPSG:21891) "Units" -> Meters.

Yes, with these simple four steps, you can georeference your drawing and proceed with your imports.

Use this method only if your desing is placed in the correct AutoCAD coordinates or if you start from scratch.

Now, let's import imagery and take a look at the editing tools.
