About This Training Course

This in-depth 2 day Civil 3D for Surveyors Training Course is for surveyors and survey technicians that do not necessarily need all of the functionality that is taught in the AutoCAD Civil 3D Fundamentals course.

This Civil 3D for Surveyors Training Course equips the surveyor with the basic knowledge needed to use Civil 3D efficiently in a typical daily workflow. Students learn how to import the converted field equipment survey data into a standardized environment in Civil 3D and to use the automation tools to create an Existing Condition Plan. Data collection, least square analysis, and traverses are also covered.

Other topics that help in increasing efficiency include styles, proper AutoCAD drafting techniques, the methodology needed to create line work
effectively for variables used in defining symbology, surfaces, categorizing points, and importing imagery.

The Civil 3D for Surveyors Training Course is designed for Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage of AutoCAD Civil 3D’s interactive, dynamic design functionality. AutoCAD Civil 3D permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools. You will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, create parcel layouts.
