TDS also says "What's Civil 3D?" I had TDS support ask me over the
phone "What is a LandXML schema?" No, really. Direct quote.
I'm telling you what I was told by Autodesk directly. Try buying
Survey Link - you can't, because the only thing available anymore is
Foresight DXM. It's just absolutely, positively, 100% not going to
happen. Autodesk has to pay TDS to include their program in LDT -
including it in Civil 3D would be another license issue, upping the cost
of your software, if TDS even allowed it. That's really it - no more
beating required.
