By exporting the path to KML, converting to CSV, and pasting coordinates directly into the AutoCAD LINE command, you bridge the gap between geospatial visualization and technical drafting.
AutoCAD expects plain coordinates (X,Y,Z) – usually Easting, Northing, Elevation. Since Google Earth gives Lat/Long, you have two options: export elevation profile from google earth to autocad
Google Earth’s KML files often contain coordinates but might not include the raw elevation for every point. Go to a conversion tool like GPS Visualizer. Upload your KML file. By exporting the path to KML, converting to
