AutoCAD Civil 3D for Surveyors OnDemand
Survey drafting in AutoCAD Civil 3D has a reputation of being far more difficult than it actually is. You don’t need to work with external databases and Field Books...you can handle all your drafting using basic Civil 3D features. From initial Point import, Point Groups, Descriptor Keys and all the way thru surface creation and linework drafting, this class will show you the simplest methods of generating accurate Survey basemaps.
