[gdal-dev] Question regarding Shapefile Geo-cordinates

[Vijay Kurhade]

Hello

I am sharing a shape file and AutoCAD (.dwg) file. I have geo-coordinated
the CAD file and then converted it into .shp file using following steps:
1)      Selected ‘geographic location’ option in AutoCAD

2)      Entered latitude (18.5652) and longitude (73.7888) and elevation
(606 meters)

3)      Selected ‘GIS coordinate system’ as ‘WORLD-MERCATOR(WGS84)

4)      Selected time zone as ‘GMT+5:30 Chennai, Kolkata, Mumbai, New Delhi’

5)      Drawing unit ‘Inches’

6)      Selected geo-graphic location in the AutoCAD drawing

7)      Specified the north direction angle. Repeated the above steps to
mark three more geographic locations in the CAD file

8)      Saved the CAD file and converted it into shape file using online
tool ‘https://mygeodata.cloud/conversion’

I hope this helps you in analyzing the issue.

Thanks in Advance.
