AutoCAD Training : Civil 3D 2009 Survey Fundamentals-Field to Finish

Civil 3D 2009 Survey Fundamentals-Field to Finish

AutoCAD Training Overview

The Civil 3D 2009 Survey Fundamentals - Field to Finish training guide will equip the surveyor with the basic knowledge needed to use Civil 3D efficiently in a typical daily workflow. From exporting data from field equipment to importing the converted data into a standadized environment in Civil 3D and utilizing the automation tools to create an Existing Condition Plan. Focus is more on styles, proper AutoCAD drafting techniques and also the methodology needed to create linework effectively for variables used in defining symbology, surfaces, categorizing points and importing imagery on State Plane Coordinate Systems from Google Earth.
