There may be some obscure setting somewhere, but I'm not seeing it.
I did try this - and it seemed to work...
The survey database is stored in your working folder (C:\Civil 3D
Projects on my computer). I went into that folder and created a new
folder called "Survey DB Archive" - I then used the windows cut/paste
command to move one of my databases into that archive folder. I go
back to Civil 3D and refresh my view on the survey tab of toolspace and
it's now gone.
*****NOTE***** I didn't test this with "un-archiving" - that it,
moving it back in case I needed to use it and connecting to it. I'm
95% sure that the method will work, though. I suggest creating a
"dummy" database and performing the above steps, then moving it back to
your working folder to see if you can use it again, just for a test. I
don't see why it would matter, though. Also note that my survey
database that I moved was NOT added to any Vault projects, so I'm not
sure how that would play into the equation. I'll try to test tonight
and see just what I can achieve...
