    AutoCAD Civil Series and Geodat Data collectors

    I am assuming that you are also using a geodimeter instrument with the gedat. I am not real sure how to address this as I only would use a geodat as a backup device for extremely large projects. But here goes. The problem is most likely a compatibility issue so as a possible work aroud for now...

    Finding information on USACE Monuments

    I have asked some of my fellow surveyors and the vertical or benchmark data is retained by each district office,meaning there is no onestop collection of corps benchmarks. You should be able to obtain the number from the blue government pages in your phone book . Hope this Helps

    Finding information on USACE Monuments

    You might want to look at the NGS web site since they would be the controling agency for most government survey data. I am not sure about corp monuments that may be something that each office controls. link to NGS is www.NOAA.Gov

    COGO for PC

    Rick You might want to look at carlson software. They market a product called carlson xml which is based on the autocad engine but it not autocad. Most auto cad commands are the same and it will do what you are wanting to do. The cost if I remember when I purchased mine was around 1700.00...

    HP 48/49 and COGO

    You might want to check out a company called Dzign. The used to offer a series of programs for the HP 49. I do not know if it is capable of interfacing with a total station or not as it requires a different cable to upload or download. Most manual entry programs should work that are written for...

    Resections and their accuracy

    When you resect with an sdr33 you can use as many control points as you can physicaly see.I have used an SDR for about 10 years and my experience has taught me that if you control or traverse is good 2 points is fine since it requires you to take a foward and reverse reading, however if you end...

    Site Design / Earthwork Calc Software

    I have used Teramodel since the military picked it up in the 90s I have also used SoftDesk/LDD for several years in the civilian market. In my mind you cant beat Teramodel for earthwork.But you are correct on the none user friendly aspect of it. Carlson makes a phenominal product if an autocad...

    AutoCAD 2000 to Intellicad 2000

    I BELIEVE THAT YOUR IDEA WILL WORK.INTELLICAD IS VERY SIMILAR TO ACAD ON MOST LEVELS. THE 2 MAIN AREAS IT DIFFERS IS VBA AND LISP. ICAD VBA IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ACAD UNLESS YOU REWRITE THE CODE TO REFERENCE ACAD FUNCTIONS. ICAD WILL RUN 80% OF ALL LISP UP TO RELEASE 14. IT WILL READ ANY...

    Topography

    FIRST I WOULD DETERMINE WHAT PRICE RANGE THAT I WANT TO CONSIDER. REMEMBER GPS IS QUICK AND ACCURATE BUT IT IS AT THE TOP END OF THE COST MARKET. ANY TOTAL STATION AND DATA COLLECTION PACKAGE WOUL DO WHAT YOU WANT. YOU CAN SPEND AS LITTLE AS 8000.00 OR AS MUCH AS $30,OOO.00 IT JUST DEPENDS ON...

    I WILL ASK AROUND THE OFFICE BUT I DO KNOW THAT OBJECTS CREATED OR SOME OBJECTS THAT ARE CREATED INSIDE OF THE SOFTDESK ENVIREMENT WILL NOT TRANSFER THROUGH TO AUTOCAD.

    ACAD r14 on Windows XP - object enabler?!?

    I AM NOT A REAL EXPERT BUT YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DIRECTLY OPEN A DRAWING DONE IN ACAD2000 IN RELEASE 14 UNLESS YOU SAVE THE DRAWING AS A RELEASE 14 DWG. AS FAR AS ANY ISSUES OF ACAD 14 AND WINDOWS XP I USE R14 AT WORK WITH SOFTDESK CIVIL SURVEY PACKAGE AND UPGRADED TO XP WITH NO PROBLEMS. SO I...
