Source video: HOW TO CONVERT AUTOCAD DRAWING DXF TO KML GOOGLE EARTH PRO INCLUDING MUTM PROJECTION OF NEPAL
Step-by-step workflow summary for AutoCAD DXF to KML with MUTM Projection: Quick Workflow
Visual overview of the main steps covered by the video.

Step-by-step workflow

  1. Clean the CAD drawing and keep only layers needed for Google Earth.
  2. Confirm the drawing coordinate system, especially MUTM/UTM assumptions.
  3. Open or convert the DXF in GIS with the correct source CRS.
  4. Reproject to EPSG:4326 for Google Earth/KML.
  5. Export selected layers to KML or KMZ.
  6. Open in Google Earth and check position against imagery and known locations.

Best use case

Useful for showing alignments, project boundaries, access roads, survey lines, and hydropower components in Google Earth.

Quality check

Most wrong KML outputs come from assigning the wrong source CRS. Define the original CRS correctly before reprojecting to WGS84.

Recommended output

By the end of this workflow, the user should have a clean engineering output such as a map, terrain product, hydraulic model setup, water-level result, or project concept figure that can be used in reports and presentations.
