Autodesk Civil 3D 2023: Fundamentals for Surveyors (Imperial Units): Autodesk Authorized Publisher

by Ascent - Center for Technical Knowledge

Overview

The Autodesk^(R) Civil 3D^(R) 2023: Fundamentals for Surveyors guide is for surveyors and survey technicians that do not necessarily need all of the functionality that is taught in the Autodesk Civil 3D: Fundamentals guide. This guide equips the surveyor with the basic knowledge required to use Autodesk Civil 3D efficiently in a typical daily workflow. You will learn how to import converted field equipment survey data into a standardized environment in Autodesk Civil 3D and to use the automation tools to create an Existing Conditions Plan.

Data collection and traverses are also covered. Other topics that help in increasing efficiency include styles, correct AutoCAD^(R) drafting techniques, the methodology required to create linework effectively for variables used in defining symbology, surfaces, categorizing points, and using online maps.
