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!
