You’re going to want to delete that as well. Go to Map View and then if you scroll up here, you’re going to see something on this. What that does is it makes this viewable now on satellite. I want you to select the whole thing, then delete that and press Enter. So the first thing you wanna do is turn labels on, and as you can see here in labels off, there was this object that was included, Style Display On. This is gonna be a bit complicated, so feel free to pause the video and check what I’m doing so you can do exactly what it is that I’m doing. So what we can do is right-click here, then inspect. When you go to satellite mode, there’s a way that we can turn off the labels, but then again this isn’t what we wanna export to the Scan2CAD. There really isn’t a native way to do this, but there’s a way we can sort of mess with the source or the source code of the page itself, to get rid of the app itself. If you notice here, there are a lot of labels and tags that we wanna get rid of. So first things first, let’s open up Maps. Hey there, everyone! So today, I’m gonna be showing you guys how to get a map that you get from… Or you export from Google Maps, turn it into a Raster image that we can convert on Scan2CAD, and then turn that into a Vector object that you can then edit or change using your preferred CAD software.

Luckily, users can avoid the bulky work of converting the maps into a vector file manually and rather convert the Google maps to DWG using some clever tricks either using Google Chrome’s source code or Scan2CAD’s automatic raster-to-vector functionalities. In these cases, Google Maps would often be a drafter’s best friend.īut with the daunting task of manually tracing over a Google Maps screenshot to copy the needed map information, most drafting professionals find that using Google Maps as a reference is somewhat tedious and inefficient. Urban designers and various construction professionals will, at some point in their career, be tasked to draft up plans of city maps or locations with little to no source materials available to copy.
