Update,
I recieved an email from Autodesk Labs today and during my lunch hour I clicked on the link and found a program called Autodesk Chornicals, which allows you to video capture and post how to videos of your Autodesk product. I have posted two videos which demostrastes the utter fustration the surveyors in my office, including myselfs how slow and cubersome it is to manually enter conventional survey data.
These videow shows how a surveyor can enter 18 survey points 3x faster with Land Desktop 2009 than usingCivil 3D 2012. As noted in my original post having to right click and select [New] in the Panorama to create a new data enty row, then having to use your mouse button to select every point number entry box, every angle entry box, every distance box and every description box. That is 5 moves with the mouse for every point entered, that is 5 times you have to alternate your head to look at the screen, pick the entry box, then look at your field notes to enter the data. That is why it takes 3x more time to enter Survey Data
