Use this dialog box to convert and import data from an Autodesk Land Desktop project into an Autodesk Civil 3D drawing.
- Land Desktop Project Path
-
Specifies the path of the Autodesk Land Desktop project containing the data that you want to import. Enter a valid path or click
to browse to the location. For example,
C:\Land Projects 2009.
- Project Name

Specifies a site for any alignments that are being imported. Select a site from the drop-down list or click
to select an object (parcel, alignment, or grading) contained in the site to which you want to add the new alignments.
Note: The default selection is <None>, which places the alignments in the Alignments (Centerline or Miscellaneous Alignments) collection in Prospector. See About Alignment and Site Interaction for more information. - Parcels Site
