I have hundreds of spot heights I have taken from my total station, and converted them into autocad lt 2007. Is there anyway of labelling them automatically using my survey data, as at the moment labelling each one is time consuming and hardly practical! Thanks in advance, Olly

MissouriPE in my experence, all hire instrement come with a dated calibration cirtificate

I can’t comment on the topcon, but the leica would definitely do the job, for what its worth, it might be cheaper in the long run to rent an instrument for about £75 a week! Then you don’t have to worry about the service costs! However my favourite type of instrument for this type of work is the...

Is there a way of saving formulas that I use regularly in excel? Such as, =A2&","&B2 =SQRT(((B2-B5)^2)+((C2-C5)^2)) So I don’t have to retype them, as at the moment i have them saved in word, then i copy them into excel and then edit the cell number when i need to use them.

Is there a way of doing the opposite excel to autoCAD, i have recently been asked to produce drawings from my survey data, and at present, i input them one by one, this was ok for small details, however i am required to survey a large bund, and this will lead to a large number of points!
