This tutorial demonstrates how to manually create and add survey data.
In the following exercises, you will use three different methods to create survey data:
- The ToolspaceSurvey tab collections and commands
- The Traverse Editor
- The Survey Command Window commands
You will also learn how to calculate an azimuth using the astronomic direction calculator, as well as how to create figures from Civil 3D parcels.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Adding and Editing Survey Data.
