I'll join you in your "no comment" - I like things to be easier rather
than harder. However, all isn't quite lost...this extension should be
on the Civil Engineering Community Site -
http://www.civil3d.com/index.php/2007/02/new-survey-extension-available-for-civil-3d/#more-584
A quote from that article:
The purpose of this command is to perform a simple translation of a
selected survey network, given a base point, rotation angle, a
destination point, and a change in elevation (optional).
Looks like what you wanted - edit datum as well as rotation. I'll be
away from an internet connection for most of today (and tonight) but if
you can't find it, let me know and I'll try to see if I can find it to
email to you - I think I'm using the third or fourth revision of the
extension.
