This method allows you to "connect" to the KML file as an external database, which is useful for large datasets that you want to reference rather than fully import. Switch to the workspace.
In the window, select Add Google KML Connection . Browse to your file and click Connect . Select the layers you want and click Add to Map . Important Limitations to Consider Import KML/KMZ files into AutoCAD Map 3D or Civil 3D
While AutoCAD Civil 3D cannot directly read KML files, a reliable workflow exists using with intermediate Shapefile conversion, or third-party tools like QGIS. The critical success factors are proper coordinate system management (transforming from WGS84 to a local projected system) and post-import conversion of generic AutoCAD geometry into Civil 3D intelligent objects (COGO points, feature lines, surfaces). Users should be aware of potential data loss in polygon holes, extended attributes, and vertical accuracy, and plan field verification accordingly.
Importing KML/KMZ files into AutoCAD Civil 3D (versions 2019 and later) is an efficient way to bring in geographic data like points, paths, and polygons directly from Google Earth.
