This in-depth Autodesk^(R) Civil 3D^(R) 2019: Fundamentals for Surveyors guide is for surveyors and survey technicians that do not necessarily need all of the functionality that is taught in the Autodesk Civil 3D: Fundamentals guide. This guide equips the surveyor with the basic knowledge required to use the Autodesk Civil 3D software efficiently in a typical daily workflow. You will learn how to import the converted field equipment survey data into a standardized environment in Autodesk Civil 3D and to use the automation tools to create an Existing Condition Plan. Data collection, and traverses are also covered. Other topics that help in increasing efficiency include styles, correct AutoCAD^(R) drafting techniques, the methodology required to create linework effectively for variables used in defining symbology, surfaces, categorizing points, and importing imagery.
