With the drawing georeferenced, the user can utilize the or EXPORTKML command. This tool allows the user to select specific 2D and 3D geometry—such as polylines representing roads, extruded solids representing buildings, or points representing utility poles—and export them directly to a KMZ file. For versions of AutoCAD that lack this native function (e.g., AutoCAD LT), third-party plugins like Plex.Earth or ArcGIS for AutoCAD serve as intermediaries, offering enhanced options for symbology, elevation extrusion, and layer management. The resulting KMZ file can then be opened directly in Google Earth Pro, where the CAD elements appear overlaid on the terrain and satellite imagery.
