Converting KMZ (compressed Keyhole Markup Language) files to DWG (AutoCAD Drawing) is a common task for professionals needing to move geographic data from Google Earth into CAD environments for engineering or architectural design MyGeodata Converter Native Software Solutions

Once the conversion is complete, the once-flat Google Earth markers become editable lines, layers, and blocks—ready for the next chapter of construction or design.

Method 3: Civil 3D & Map 3D (The Native Way)

If you have the full version of AutoCAD Civil 3D or Map 3D (not plain AutoCAD LT), you already have the tool.

Si utilizas las versiones de AutoCAD enfocadas en ingeniería o SIG, el proceso es directo mediante herramientas integradas.

AutoCAD Map 3D / Civil 3D (Built-in): If you use these specialized versions, you can use the MAPIMPORT command. This is the most seamless "pro" feature as it handles the data natively without third-party tools.

  1. Drag and drop your KMZ into QGIS.
  2. Right-click the layer > Export > Save Features As.
  3. Format: AutoCAD DWG.
  4. CRS (Critical step): Change the Coordinate Reference System to your local projection (e.g., UTM, State Plane, or Gauss-Krüger depending on your country).
  5. Export. You now have a DWG that is georeferenced and to scale.
