    Description

    A successful Civil 3D survey workflow begins with a properly configured survey environment. This session will focus on configuring Civil 3D to support consistent and predictable movement of data from field crews to survey deliverables. Topics will include establishing the survey working folder, managing equipment databases, creating and maintaining figure prefix databases, configuring linework code sets, organizing description key sets, and structuring point groups. You'll gain a clear understanding of how these components work together and why each setup decision matters, enabling better control over how field-collected data is interpreted in the office and translated into reliable survey drawings with minimal manual intervention.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how to set up the Civil 3D survey environment to support predictable movement of data from field crews to survey deliverables.
    • Learn how to establish survey working folders and equipment databases within the Civil 3D survey workflow.
    • Learn how to manage figure prefix databases and linework code sets to efficiently transfer collected data into drawings.
    • Learn how to create description key sets and point groups to control how field‑collected data is displayed in drawings.
