Using Survey Data in Civil 3D 2008

In this webcast we will explore the power of survey functionality built in to Civil 3D 2008. We will show how raw survey data from ASCII, field book, and LandXML files is incorporated into Civil 3D project drawings, and conversely how drawing entities may be used to create survey data. Along the way you will see some new survey features and witness the true power of working in the survey database environment. These are the survey tasks that you will see demonstrated as we step through a typical workflow of how survey data is used in Civil 3D: • Importing raw survey data • Automatic line work creation and symbol placement • Adjusting a traverse loop • Translating and rotating a survey network • Transforming data from grid to ground • Pushing drawing data into the survey database

Plan Production II – Using Civil 3D 2008 to Automatically Create Grading, Utility and Cross Section Sheets

Much of the focus of “Plan Production” has been on the automatic creation of Plan and Profile sheets. Join us for a look at how Civil 3D 2008 can also be used to automatically create other sheet types including Grading Plans, Utility Plans and Cross Sections. Jerry Bartels will demonstrate the process including how to add additional useful components such Key Maps and Legends. He will conclude by quickly integrating the newly created documents into a new or existing “Sheet Set” (.DST).
