Hi All!

Just wondering if I have this figured out correctly, AutoCAD 2010, uses a UTM based coordinate system, which means i get values like this:

320125.0826, 1635138.6799, 0.0000

But when I convert it to longitude and latitude, for some reason i get a different result from where the location is supposed to be.
i.e. for the above results I would get lat: 14.7843 and long: 103.328 but the location is nowhere near where it is supposed to be.

My question is: am I doing something wrong - conversion is correct its maybe there is an option in AutoCAD?, or could this be simply the mistake of the creator of the file?

Thank you!

have you tried to change Units in Decimal.
