Exercise 1: Creating a Survey Database

In this exercise, you will open the Survey tab in Toolspace, create a local survey
database, and then open a drawing to display the survey data.

For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Survey Databases.

Create a survey database

1

Open Survey-1.dwg, which is located in the

tutorial drawings folder

(page

819)

.

2

Click Home tab

➤

Palettes panel

➤

Survey Toolspace

.

3

In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click Survey Databases. Click New
Local Survey Database.

4

In the New Local Survey Database dialog box, enter Survey 1 for the
database name. Click OK.

The newly created database is added to the Survey Databases collection
on the Survey tab. Empty items that appear in the collection include
Import Events, Networks, Figures, and Survey Points. These collections
are populated when you add or create survey data.

To continue this tutorial, go to

Exercise 2: Setting the Equipment and Figure

Prefix Databases

(page 130).

Exercise 2: Setting the Equipment and Figure Prefix
Databases

In this exercise, you will create new survey equipment and figure prefix
databases and definitions.

Equipment definitions specify the values associated with a specific surveying
instrument, such as the standard deviations associated with the measuring
capabilities of the instrument.

Figure prefixes specify the layer that a figure is drawn on, how a figure is stylized,
and whether figures are created as breaklines and lot lines. When figures are
created, they are matched based on their names and the prefix names. All
figures that match a specific prefix are assigned the properties of the prefix.

For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topics Survey Equipment
Database and Survey Figure Prefix Database.
