About Survey LandXML Data

You can import and export survey LandXML data directly into or from the survey database.

Use the Import Survey LandXML command to import LandXML survey data directly into the survey database. You can subsequently insert the data into the drawing, using the Insert Into Drawing commands.

The following table illustrates the results of importing LandXML data using the Import Survey LandXML command.

Note: You can import reduced survey data directly into an Autodesk Civil 3D drawing. For more information about the different types of LandXML import functionality for survey data, see Importing Survey XML Data.

You can also export LandXML data from the survey database.

You specify both the LandXML import settings and data selection using the Import Survey LandXML command.

The LandXML import and export functionality is based on the LandXML schema. For more information about the LandXML schema, go to http://www.landxml.org.
