Survey Functions in Civil3D 2006

Hi,

Am running evaluation for my company to see if civil 3D 2006 will provide the same capabilities as LDT 2005 with Survey 2005. I can't seem to find the place where I can import a field book into the points database or any reference to description keys. We have a process whereby the field book is imported, blocks are placed at recognised codes (pegs, power poles etc), lines work is generated automatically and all data goes onto our companies standard layers. Can this be done in Civil3D 2006 or not.

Hi Will,

As yet you cannot do any survey work with Civil 3D.

Autodesk have plans underway for a Survey module, but no formal information
is available.

You may care to look at:

http://www.cadapps.com.au/ca/16.html

Although there are 3 AVIs - they all relate to the one program, and only
show a subset of the program's overall functionality.

Will,

You mentioned the "Point Database". In Civil 3D there is no point database
other than the drawing. Same goes for alignments and surfaces. If you erase
it and there is no backup it is GONE.
