About Survey Project Phases

Organize survey data by creating networks within the survey database for the various stages of a project.

Throughout a survey project it may be necessary to perform several types of survey tasks such as a site analysis, a boundary analysis, and a topographic survey.

In AutoCAD Civil 3D you can create multiple networks within a survey database and append survey data to the survey database to maintain the integrity of existing survey data. The benefits of multiple networks are:

• Each network can represent a specific purpose.
• Each network can be analyzed and adjusted separately, but can reference data from another network.
• When you create figures by importing data into a network, that network contains information as to which figures will need to be updated if the network is modified.
