Displays the Survey tab of the AutoCAD Civil 3D Toolspace which is the primary interface for working with survey data

RaiseLowerFeatures Raises or lowers feature lines by elevation
RaiseLowerFeaturesByRef Raise/lower a feature line based on a grade, slope, or relative elevation from a reference point
ReverseFeature Reverses the direction of feature lines for stationing purposes
SetFeatureGrade Specifies the grade or slope between selected points on a feature line
SetFeatureRefElev Sets the feature line elevation in relation to an existing elevation in the drawing
StartSurveyLink Survey Data Collection Link is used to download data from a survey data collector and to convert the raw survey data file to a Field Book file that can be imported into AutoCAD Civil 3D
SvFigureProps Displays properties for a survey figure drawing object
SvNetworkProps Changes the network name and description
