Survey Tutorials

These tutorials will get you started working with the Autodesk Civil 3D survey features.

Autodesk Civil 3D contains a complete set of tools that surveyors can use to download and process survey information, perform adjustments on network and traverse data, and import survey points into a Autodesk Civil 3D drawing.

An easy-to-use wizard enables you to import survey data from various data sources, including points in the current drawing, and field book, LandXML, and point files. When the field crew codes survey points using a predetermined format, a linework code set can be used to process the linework quickly either during or after import.

The survey features also provide options for detailing points with figures and line work. Other options provide the capability of calculating directions based on astronomic observations.

Note:

All drawings used in these tutorials are available in the tutorial drawings folder. If you want to save your work from these tutorials, save the drawings to the My Tutorial Data folder so that you do not overwrite the original drawings.
