Survey Database default settings and coordinate zone

[jmayo-EE]

Is there any way to save the values I change in the Survey Database Settings dialog? It would be nice to save our working coordinate zone, US feet, no traverse analysis... See attached. If I make changes in a DB all new DB's begin with Autodesk's default values not mine..

John,

Yes save the settings as you like from that dialog by choosing the blue wrench icon on upper left.

It creates a xxxx.sdb_set file, which can be pathed on the network for all users in the "Survey Database Defaults" field in same dialog.

Do the same for the Linework Code Set and the Fig. Prefix DB.

Oops, I My answer was partially correct. Export them from the dialog you've posted. Path the xxx.sdb_set for all (in dwt) via the "Survey User Settings" dialog. (Transit icon on upper left of survey tab of toolspace).

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words

Open a database that is set and exprort as shown above.

Open the setting and set the file as default as shwon below.
