Copy and Paste Elements from Google Earth

In this part, we demonstrate the simplest way to fetch simple Google Earth elements into your CAD environment only by using a simple Copy & Paste.

In fact, you do not even need to georeference your drawing, just follow the next steps.

Before we start, go on and download the following KML files and open them in Google Earth

1KB

Project Location.kml

1KB

Project Outlook.kml

Then go on and open an empty CAD drawing.

Now follow the steps below:

• Choose the Project Location Placemark and click Copy

• Go to your empty CAD drawing and Click Ctrl + V

Now your drawing has been automatically georeferenced and you have imported your placemark into CAD

• Go again to Google Earth, choose the Project Outlook Path, and click Copy

• Go, again, to your empty CAD drawing and Click Ctrl + V

Now you have also imported the outlook of your project and you are able to proceed with your design.

That's it! You have a georeferenced drawing and also imported a placemark and the outlook of your project. You can continue to Copy and Paste Google Earth elements to experiment or import an image, or just move on to the next part of our tutorial, Import KML/KMZ objects.
