[crosa]

i am not a survey person. i need to know how one imports in to C3D 2008 if we were using data connection link in LDD. once we download the CRD file what is the next step?

2008?

You wait for Carlson Connect for Civil 3D 2008 to become available.

Another idea would be to export the CRD to a TXT in the data collector.
Under File>Import/Export ASCII on the data collector (option 7
using SurvCE 1.65)

Hi,

If you can't convert a CRD file then look at the documentation with your
instrument and see what other files you can download. You may be able to
convert an alternative file format to a fieldbook.

Sorry - the only software that really supports CRD is Carlson. What's
wrong with exporting an ASCII file as well along with the CRD? Or are
you doing FBK files with the CRD?

If you've still got C3D 2007 w/Carlson Connect, you could use the CRD
converter there.

I don't have a timeframe at this point, but it shouldn't be long before
CC is available for 2008.
