Software > Autodesk® Survey
 Autodesk® Survey software extends the functionality of AutoCAD® Land Desktop software, offering the most efficient and cost-effective way to get professional survey data to and from the field. The software automatically interfaces with a host of industry-standard data collectors, survey instruments, and GPS receivers, allowing line work and field coding for automatic mapping capabilities. It's easy to share survey data with civil engineering, GIS, and land planning professionals. Autodesk Survey streamlines data collection, eliminates numerous steps, and keystrokes, and avoids converting data from one system to another. Autodesk Survey can create DWG files simply by importing survey data, saving time and ensuring accuracy.
Features:
Survey Instrument Communication
- TDS Survey link provides seamless communication between more than 60 industry-standard survey instruments and data collectors.
- New Trimble Link allows for interoperable communication between Trimble RTK total stations and conventional total stations from Trimble and from other manufacturers that utilize the Trimble
- Users can convert ASCII point data to and from other common survey instruments and software programs.
Data Input
- Users can input traverse and sideshot data in tabular form. Editors show information to users during input.
- Input method can be changed for an individual shot.
- Users can input raw field data directly from the command line.
- Tabular sideshot and traverse editors, which you can use to enter raw survey data quickly and easily
- Ability to replace the AutoCAD command prompt with Survey command line (COGO) input
- Survey
Command line options, including input based on control
points, traverse/sideshot's, baseline, centerline,
and intersections
- History
file function, which tracks all data input of a project;
file can be edited and imported
Field Book Input
- Raw field data can be entered directly into an ASCII file, and then analyzed and added to the project.
- Users can easily edit any data that has been incorrectly entered in the file.
Traverse Analysis
- To analyze and adjust traverse, users can employ industry-standard compass, Crandall, least-squares, and transit methodologies.
- Sideshot points in the drawing and database are automatically updated when changes are made to a traverse.
- Users can draft closure error ellipses, traverse topology routes, and more.
Figures
- Create figures based on common surveying methodology.
- Functions for selected figure include display area, inverse, map check, and move.
- Features include figure layer control, intelligent data, and TIN breakline usage.
- User-defined figure library that controls layers
- Figures based on various geometric input methods
- Analysis and reporting options, including Mapcheck, Inverse, Area/Perimeter
- Points created from figures automatically
Automated Drafting / Linework in the Field
- Much of the drafting process is automated:
- When using description keys and figure prefixes, the Import Field Book command automatically drafts points, symbols, and lines and curves all on the specific layers defined by the user.
- Figures can be used as breaklines in TIN creation.
