How to Convert KMZ to AutoCAD?
Import KMZ to AutoCAD with confidence and precision. Our purpose-built importer gets you from start to finish in just 3 easy steps:
📥 Download Automapki Application
Download and install Automapki Application for AutoCAD, BricsCAD, GstarCAD, or ZWCAD - it adds the AmImportMap command needed to import KMZ maps directly into AutoCAD drawings. Restart your CAD software after installation to load the plugin.
▶️ Run KMZ Import Command
Open your AutoCAD editor, type AmImportMap in the command line or click the Import Map button in the Automapki ribbon to import your map file.
↩️ Open and Import KMZ Map File
Browse to your KMZ map file (*.kmz), click Open, and Automapki imports it into the AutoCAD drawing model space as georeferenced geometry - ready to use alongside your existing DWG entities.
Google Earth KMZ Placemark File Format
The KMZ file format is a compressed version of KML (Keyhole Markup Language) files, bundling associated resources - such as images, textures, 3D models, and overlays - into a single, efficient archive. Designed for sharing complex geospatial projects, KMZ files are natively supported by Google Earth and Google Earth Pro, making them ideal for professional geographic data visualization and distribution.
Key Features and Benefits of KMZ Files
- Efficient ZIP Compression: KMZ files use standard ZIP compression to dramatically reduce file size, optimize storage space, and enable faster uploads and downloads compared to standalone KML files.
- Comprehensive Geospatial Data Support: Support for points, line strings, polygons, overlays, and 3D models (Collada DAE) allows KMZ files to deliver rich, interactive geographic content.
- Wide Software Compatibility: KMZ files can be seamlessly opened, edited, and shared across popular geospatial applications such as Google Earth, Google Maps, ArcGIS, QGIS, and more, ensuring smooth project collaboration.
KMZ File Conversion Made Simple
With our Automapki Application, you can easily import and export KMZ files within AutoCAD, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD environments. Quickly convert DWG entities - including points, curves, polygons, 3D solids, and raster images - into KMZ format for seamless use in Google Earth. You can also reverse the process, converting KMZ files back into DWG drawings for further editing and enhancement.

AutoCAD DWG File Format - Convert DWG Drawings
AutoCAD, developed by Autodesk, is an industry-leading CAD software known for its precision, versatility, and native support for the DWG file format. DWG files are the standard format for storing 2D and 3D design data, widely used in architecture, engineering, construction, and manufacturing industries worldwide.
Key Features of AutoCAD and DWG Files
- Comprehensive CAD Tools: Create professional 2D technical drawings and detailed 3D models using AutoCAD’s robust drafting and modeling capabilities.
- DWG File Compatibility: Work directly with native .dwg files to ensure maximum data accuracy, cross-platform collaboration, and version control.
- Custom Automation: Automate repetitive tasks and customize your workflow using AutoLISP, ObjectARX, and custom scripts for greater efficiency.
- Dynamic Blocks & Parametric Design: Use smart blocks with adjustable parameters to simplify complex designs and speed up drawing creation.
Convert DWG Files to 3D and GIS Formats
Extend the power of AutoCAD with our Automesher Application and Automapki Application. These plugins allow seamless import and export of 3D model formats like STL, OBJ, SKP, FBX, and STEP, as well as geospatial formats including SHP, KML, and GeoJSON. Enhance your DWG projects by integrating 3D models and GIS data directly into your AutoCAD environment.
