Hi. I'm Rami Tamimi.
In this video, I'm gonna show you how you can enable the geolocation map on
feature, you're going to need to create an Autodesk 360 account. Now, this is a free
account that you make with Autodesk and it enables you to turn on this feature. Here's how you do it.
You're gonna come over here where it says "sign in." You'll click on sign in to Autodesk account.
The page will load and you'll be prompted to sign in with your email address.
Now if you have an account, go ahead and input your email and password and then you can sign in
and skip ahead and figure out what you need to do then to enable it for your specific drawing.
If you don't have an account, we're going to then create one. Click on create account.
Type in your name. So I'm gonna type in Rami Tamimi. Type in your email address,
and type in a password.
Go ahead and agree.
And create your account. Now you can go ahead and subscribe to Autodesk's
emails. I'm gonna go ahead and opt out just because I don't need to be receiving emails
from them all the time. It doesn't matter if you opt in or out and click on done.
Great. Now your account is created.
Once you've created and signed into your Autodesk 360 account, we're going to go ahead and assign
our drawing a coordinate system. This coordinate system will specify to Civil 3D where on earth we
want our project to be. To do this, you're gonna go to the home tab and click on the
tool box menu. Once your tool box is open, make sure that the settings tab is enabled. Under the
settings, you're gonna go to the project name and right click and click on edit drawing settings.
This menu should pop up and you'll see that you don't have any type of projection. Now I live
in the United States of America and I live in the state of Michigan, so I'm going to look for
inside of your country or state. Here in the United States, we use state plane coordinates and
we're using the North American datum of 1983. So I'm gonna find the North American datum of 1983.
Michigan state planes, and I live in the south zone and we use international feet here in
Michigan so I'm gonna click on that. Now in the United States, some states use U.S. survey feet,
some use international feet; if you live in one of these six states, you then use international
feet. If you don't live in these states, you use U.S. survey feet. But that's only if you live
there is a new tab called geolocation. You're gonna click on geolocation. And this new tab will
now enable you to turn on different features in your drawing. And the one that we're most
interested in is the online map and I can select which type of map I want. Let's do the map hybrid.
