Hi,
How do you create the target package? Do you have to create an empty GeoPackage layer and choose a geometry? Thanks!
I think worded it wrong. All you have to do is give it a name and create a target package. So by create I meant just save. Apologies for the confusion.
@@CivilTechSource thanks. I thought you had to create a target package before clicking on import DWG. And in reality you create it as a part of the process
Thank you so much, it helped a lot even with my beginner level, the explanation were fast, But I got something!👍
Glad it helped!
Good tutorial. I learnt a few other nice things - GE web app, GE my maps & QGIS import feature.
Glad it was helpful!
Nice 👍 Thanks mate 🙂
You are welcome.
great tutorial , thanks a lot , easy clear steps , thanks again
may I ask what is the recording program you use so it shows the clicks and keyboards you pressed on the screen in black BG
I see it makes a big deference ,
thanks a lot
Thanks! I use two softwares

Each one has it's one advantages.
Good day! Sir can you please post the link of the video regarding the adding of "Civil TechSource" Autocad tab? Also the "Vehicle Tracking" Autocad tab?
sir how could we create kml file of general lay out plan of a project
This video helped me a lot!!
However, I found one trouble. If I had many layers to export. And I have to do the same one by one. There is a way, where I can export the selected polylines and lines on QGIS and, export them by one single shot?
Hi David, glad to hear that. I am currently searching for the answer to this one. Once I find it, I will upload the tutorial.
Hi! Great tutorial, followed it along, received KML file and uploaded it to Google Earth. As a result my plot was situated in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Looks like my input DWG file has no coordinate reference system set. Can you please share your DWG file you are using in this tutorial so I could check what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
Thank you! I will upload this weekend a download link and post it on the video description.
@@CivilTechSource Thanks, will be waiting for it.
@@yuriypankov5095 hi, is the tutorial published already? I also got problems knowing how to locate my boundary in the right place :(
Save feature as Option is not shown in the Export menu . What should i do ? Kindly help me.
Hi, make sure you click the arrow key to expand to find the polyline imported and right click on the polyline and select save feature as
Hi brother this video was helped lot for me thanks I need one more clearity I am able seen line only what about text what is the process
You can manually add text in QGIS if you want. Have not tried to import text from autocad yet...
Please sir how did you collect the data you use to plot in autocad and I didn't see where you geo-reference in ArcGIS
This will vary on which country and which coordinates you use. It is a good practice to always draw in the right coordinates.
And in the event that the dwg file also contains text layers? How can these be converted or recognized in qgis
I have not try this yet. Will give it a go and let you know.
Very interesting. But how could I export the elements I have inside the boundary as well? Let me explain: in AUTOCAD you have the red boundary and inside of it there's green and white lines: I'd like to have them on Google Earth as well, not just the boundary.
My goal is to find a place on Google Earth, draw a polygon with the boundary, save it as a kml, then convert the kml into a dwg, then on AUTOCAD work on this polygon (adding solar panels inside of it for example) and then take it all back to google earth. Is this last step achievable? Thanks
Hi, Marco yes it is! I will need to make a video on it is not as straightforward as click of a button.
@@CivilTechSource where is the video ?
Apologies, no video yet. One man band is challenging.
Interesting tutorial! I have a problem with locating the roads in a precinct in Sydney Australia. when I import it into Google Earth, it locates somewhere in the middle of the ocean between Australia and South America. I know that the coordination system in Australia is GDA 2020/ zone 55. The Autocad file is given by my lecturer and I don't Know where this problem is coming from. I would be happy if you let me know.
Does the autocad file has any title blocks? Hidden layers? What are the units of your drawing?
@@CivilTechSource Hi, I've just realised that you have replied to my question. Thanks for that! 😊. I need to say that there is no block in that dwg file, no hidden layers, and the unit is millimetres . Would you like to have a look at the file? If yes, how can I send it to you? I even tried to get answer through Autodesk and GIS community as well as my tutor, but I reached nothing.
Hi Elnaz, send it to my email ferdijafar.engineering@gmail.com will have a look at it.
@@CivilTechSource It will be done as the very first thing tomorrow . Thanks for offering help 🙂
@Civil Tech Source , @ Elnaz M.A : Great tutorial, but I seem to have the same problem.
. My poly lines seems to map itself across 2 continents ... what was the problem and how did you guys fix this.
Any help is appreciated.
thank you.
What if the DWG has no geographic coordinates? How can you then input the geographic coordinates into the DWG before exporting to QGIS?
Hi Gemma, unfortunately you would have to somehow move your drawing to the right coordinates before importing into qgis.
I'm using AutoCAD Map 3D. When exporting the map directly from .dwg to KML/KMZ, nothing happens. Is there a way to enable this command?
Hi I personally do not have much experience with Map3D. Are you using the MAPEXPORT command?
bro why create dwg by set location map autocad and next convert to kml or kmz. thx
Maybe you want to import it to qgis or other gis software to overlay some other data/layers
Sir you just transfer 2 d drawing in qgis but my Task is to transfer 3 d autocad model into Qgis but when I did that with 3d model it didn't appeared
Could you please help me with this
Hi Pec, when you say it does not appear, do you mean it does not appear in 3d or it does not appear at all?
Question, how to convert this one, since im from the Philippines ,and our system is PRS92/UTM51, what coordinate system do you use? your reply is a big help to me. Thank you!
I will do some research and get back to you ASAP.
Hi John, at 1:52 of the video when the window appears to set your settings for the import, make sure the CRS coordinate are the ones you want. I have found these links: spatialreference.org/
gis.stackexchange.com/questions/36922/how-to-create-a-custom-projection-of-prs92-and-utm-51n-for-the-philippines
Hope this helps!
I am not Abel see file on right side to convert to KLM pls advice
Possibly you are right clicking on the wrong item. Make you you right click on the line layer and not the group filters so make sure you are at the bottom of your tree structure. Hope this helps
Hi, brother, is this possible to export all objects in single selection from Autocad to KML
Have not tried it yet, has anyone else tried it?
Hi, sorry man but how do I georeference my cad file. I've managed to import my cad file into qgis but it has no coordinates. Thanks
Hi Louis, to start with your CAD file needs to be drawn in the coordinates that you want (this is the X,Y in the cad file). Once you know that your drawing is positioned in the correct coordinates and you know the coordinates you are using, then in QGIS when importing you select the coordinates system you used to draw your plan in CAD. Hope it helps.
Dear Sir,
This video is very helpful But How to Road Alinement Chiange Show Dwg to Kml File.
Please Help Me Sir.
What software are using to draw the road?

how to reference autocad file in QGIS?
Sorry, do you mean import?
Thanks for the video. I found problem in exporting Civil 3D cad drawing (EPSG 3395) as shapefile to QGIS in WGS 84 (EPSG 4326), do you have some suggestions. Thanks in advance.
Hi Ashim, what is the problem exactly? Does it not come in the right coordinates?
@@CivilTechSource Yes. It doesn't come in the right co-ordinates. I did try your method step by step, but seems to have done some error. I hope if you could answer to my problem. Thanks in advance
@@ashim84 Is there a specific reason you are using a different coordinate system in Civil 3D? I think that this might be the case. Can you try changing the Civil 3D file coordinates to WGS 84 prior to exporting?
@@CivilTechSource thanks for your reply. I was digitising buildings using Bing maps inside civil 3d, using insert map location. I checked some tutorials where it was mentioned to use Mercator (epsg 3395) projection. I am able to digitise in meters. The problem occurs when I try to export them bu assigning WGS 84 (epsg 4326). The conversion is successful, but when i import the .shp or .kml the files don't come on the correct location.
@@ashim84 Okay the way I see it is that there are two possible ways that things have gone wrong: A) When you setup your bing map in Civil3D you need to make sure that when you drop the marker on the map, the easting and northings when you select your reference point need to match exactly the Latitude and Longitude that you have inserted in the Bing Map window. OR B) When you import in QGIS you need to make sure the same Grid reference system you used in Civil 3D is used in QGIS. Personally, I think it is the first one. Check my video on Geolocation map to see the steps I use for setting up my bing map. Note: If you dwg drawing is drawn to the right coordinates and you know the grid reference system, then there is no need to setup the bing map.
sir can you give demo on my computer connect to anydesk
What demo do you need?
what about 3d objects, like a building ?
Not sure, have Not attempted it. Do you have 3d lines on autocad or other software?
how can I find out the right CRS for my dwg,?i was using wgs84 epsg:4326, thank you in advance.
It depends from which country you work. If you have a topographical survey they usually have a coordinate system and you can use that. Sometimes architectures drawings are drawn in mm, and not always too coordinates. Hope it helps. If anyone knows anything more please comment.
@@CivilTechSource hi there, thank you for your prompt response, I'm from Romania, and I have tried to convert the dwg file into a kml and if i load it in google earth, everything is positioned corectly, but the same dwg if i load it into qgis... the location is somewhere near Africa.
Salut, have you tried loading your kml file into qgis to see if that's loading correctly? You can send the dwg to me and I can have a look for you if you want.
@@CivilTechSource the dwg file contains a lot of info, and it would be easier for me to select only what i'm interested of and then importing it in qgis. But i cant located properly, i can send u the dwg if u would like to take a look at it.
Send me the coordinates of your project in the dwg file and the coordinate in Google will double check what coordinates you using by searching in Google about it.
where did you create package?
You do not create it, if you look closely to the window that appears it says save. So give it a name an hit save
sir i tried they way you told but the kml shown in the American territory instead of Indian
When importing a drawing two things can cause the drawing not come in the right place.
A) The Drawing coordinates (X,Y) are not correct. This means that the whole drawing has been drawn on the wrong place.
OR
B) When you import your drawing you are selecting the wrong GIS system.
OR
C) Units are in mm? or could be A & B
I want text also need show on kml file pls advice
Use the annotation toolbar. If you do a quick google search you can see where it is.
I've saved my file as 2013 dwg. But I couldn't import it in qgis. The qgis requested .gpkg file. Could you please find the solution.
By the way, the tutorial is too fast, I think it would be better if you make it slower. Anyway, thanks for the video 👍
Hi, it does not request a .gpkg file but actually asks you where do you want to save the .gpkg file. They .dwg should work. What version of QGIS do you have? Thanks for your feedback, might do a more detailed video and go through everything more slowly ;D
use a slower speed from YT settings, don`t be rude with an expert`s time!
Where did you get the package.gpkg?
Hi, you don't get you just create one. In this tutorial I had already created one and just saved over it. So if you look closely at the window that pops up it asks to save not open, therefore you create one.
what window? autocad or qgis
@@sitinorehanjepeni6666 qgis at 2:10
how i create package?
When you right click save as the export window will appear and select from there what format you want to export
this action needs to be done in qgis or civil
@@CivilTechSource can u pls do the video i still dont get it
Sir error vector too long plz solve
What units is your drawing? Convert everything to meters.
DWG to whatever isn't that hard. But what about KML to anything? (dead end.. :(
Hi Hans, how about KML to Shapefile to DWG?
@@CivilTechSource SHP to DWG is ok. But how does one do KML to SHP?
@@hanslammerts7468 czcams.com/video/KkscFuqtIAM/video.html
Tooo complicated
Nodir, I agree! This is the only way I have found if you have AutoCAD LT, as it has less features than AutoCAD. If you know a simpler way, please do share it with us.
You are too fast for beginners
Hi, thanks for the feedback. Is it to fast as it doesn't allow you to follow the steps at the same time or is it overall?
