Creating a block is not necessary. If you want to bypass Carlson and want to import your points collected directly into Civil 3D, then you have two options:
OPTION 1:
From you 'data collector, spit out the data you have collected, but this time, put it into a format that Civil 3D can understand and use. Your goal will be to get the data in a txt and csv format. Once it's in one of these formats, open the Microsoft Excel program view your data in a spreadsheet. Go to File=>Open=>Browse=>browse to your csv or txt=>click OPEN.
Next, perform EDITS, if needed, on the file you just opened into an acceptable format that you can IMPORT into C3D. Save the edits by saving over the current file. Acceptable formats include, are not limited to, PENZD, PNEZD, PNE, PNEZ, ENZ, NEZ, PENZ, etc. Import these file into C3D with an output of Cogo Points. This method would be the fastest way to move your survey data from your hand held to Civil 3D.
OPTION 2:
Do this then complete steps 1 thru 8.
Open the same dwg file you uploaded in post #1 of this thread. Click on one of the 'text' labels=> right-click=>choose Select Similar from shortcut menu. Your Properties Palette will indicate 345 blocks (named SRVPN01) have been selected. Next, put all of these selected blocks on 0 (zero) layer. Freeze (turn off) the original layer named PNTS. Run the DATAEXTRACTION command, a wizard-type of utility consisting of multiple pages, page 1 thru 8.
- invoke DATAEXTRACTION command. Create a new data extraction. Name and save the dxe file in your project folder. Image-1.
- Select objects=>click the MANUAL button and use a crossing window to select all 345 SRVPN01 blocks. Image-2
- Check the box named SRVPN01. You don't need 'Attribute Definition' so do not check that box. Image-3.
- On the right, Cateory filter, check Attribute and Geometry. On the left, check the five (5) Properties shown. You don't need the other Properties, they are 'extra baggage' and will weigh you down. Image-4.
- Check 'Combine identical rows' then OK. You may click Preview but it's not necessary. Later, not now, you will be able to perform edits such as manipulate the columns and rows. Image-5.
- You are now on page 6 of 8. Check 'Output data to external file' option. Name and save to 'xls' format placing it in your project folder. Image-6. <<WARNING: If you check the option to 'Insert table into drawing' you'll proceed to page 7. However, the option you're choosing will skip page 7 and take you directly to page 8.>>
- Click FINISH. Image-7. To view your new file, open Excel, then go to File=>Open=>Browse=>Select your xls file=>Open.
- Your xls file will look like this. Image-8. While in Excel, perform edits by manipulating and/or moving the headings, columns, and rows. Finally, go to C3D to create your points. Go to Home tab=>Create Ground Data panel=>Points dropdown=>Point Creation Tools. Create cogo points which are Civil 3D-ish type of blocks commonly used when importing survey points. If you are ambitious and want to impress your boss, create Point Groups when you're Importing your Cogo Points.
