Autodesk® Survey 2006 works within Autodesk® Land Desktop 2006 software, so it incorporates all the features of the latest release. The new 2006 platform saves you time and money by providing improved production drafting, predesign/planning capabilities, as well as additional reporting capabilities.
 

Enhancements to the Survey Toolspace improve performance, including a Setup Item preview window that is displayed when a setup item is selected. Faster processing and improved usability increase performance and create a better user experience.
 

The Survey command language now provides the ability to define multiple points on a curve within an active figure. This lets you efficiently create base figures from data captured in the field.
 

The Setup Item preview window is a graphical view of all the points and figures observed at the selected setup. Confirm that you are working with the correct Survey “setup” by visually checking that there are no obvious breaks in the data.
 

Export figures to a field book file from either the Network item or from the Figures collection. The modified Figure Settings dialog box provides settings to control the exporting of figures with their referenced coordinate geometry (COGO) points for increased usability that streamlines your work process.
 

Create 3D polylines from one or many existing survey figures to a specified layer. Convert 2D figures to 3D polylines for use as breaklines and grading features, and for visualization purposes.
 

Manage, edit, and build accurate surfaces more quickly from survey figures using the Survey Toolspace. 

Sideshot and Traverse Editor

The Survey Toolspace simplifies the way you edit, view, and manage Sideshot and Traverse observations. 

Bidirectional Data Collector Communication

An updated version 7.5.5 of TDS Link, Trimble® Link, and Carlson Connect™ provides seamless communication with a wide variety of industry-standard survey instruments and data collectors and improves your ability to move data to and from the field. 

Traverse Analysis

Use industry-standard methodologies, including Least Squares, Compass, Transit, and Crandall, to analyze and adjust traverse. 

Automated Drafting

Significantly improve your drafting productivity. When using description keys and field key codes, the import fieldbook command automatically drafts points, symbols, and lines and curves—all on the specific layers defined by the user. 

GPS Communication

Updated Trimble Link and Carlson Connect software provide seamless data transfer between Autodesk's civil software products and industry leading GPS communication systems. Trimble Link connects directly to Trimble's TSCe™ Controller running the Trimble Survey Controller™ software, Trimble's TSC1™ Controller running the Trimble Survey Controller software, and PC card for use with Trimble's SiteVision® system.
