This tutorial demonstrates how to access the survey functionality and define and manage the survey settings in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
In the following exercises, you will specify survey project settings by setting up a survey database, equipment definition, figure prefix database, individual user settings, survey styles, and linework code set.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Survey Databases.
