Hello, I am happy to have found this site and need some help with setting up a prototype drawing,importing survey points,groups and layers.Let me give you some background information. I am a surveyor who is responsible for producing 3d surface models,2d drawings and general survey data to support engineering design.I use LDD 2008 to process the above. We collect field data both conventionally using TDS and with Trimble GPS. In TGO I created a feature code library which segregates by description,layer and linetype or symbol.The gps collected survey data is processed through the feature code library.We then create a DXF file from TGO, which carries the linework, and export to an LDD drawing.We also export an ASCI2 file containing the points.Then I manually create point groups by description.Then I isolate a layer and insert points by particular point group into the drawing.This is a very laborious method which is time consuming. The questions: Is there a more streamlined way to import survey data which automatically filters points by point group and layer? Does LDD 2008 have the ability to transform/scale survey grid data to ground data? A quick and easy way to import survey points from an Excel spreadsheet into an AutoCAD drawing. If you found this useful and want to buy me a coffee, please go to. Can you recommend another method to accomplish what we are trying to do? Thank you for your help, Paul.

Free download powtoon. • A Simple user interface so you can make animated movies without having to be an animator • Pick cool objects and characters from libraries and styles to create unique fun explainer videos • You can create animated explainer videos up to 5 min long in the free version (or up to 60 min long for subscribers) – not available in any other free animation software. • Create as many animated presentations as you like. Animated presentations are awesome.

Thank you for your help, Paul If u had any dwg pls post it here because i am new to civil 3d. A couple of questions is your DXF input just flat 2D? If so then why not just import 'ALL' the points as ptnum, x,y,z, code into a group. The important thing here is code. Not sure what a asci2 is but the software and instruments should be able to output the correct xyz code file. ![]() You only need to import ALL points in one go, when creating a surface model you use the exclude option to remove points that are non contourable. Our surveyors have coded the points such that some objects have choice of two codes for cont and non cont. It takes a little while to add the exclude list but you only do it once! Try cutting and pasting. The insertion of breaklines again can probably be done via a lisp or script to turn on only the correct breakline layers, if the layer does not exist often the script will still continue to next line. Else start with a template with all survey code layers and tehn purge them out. (our template 545 layers) Hope this helps. A couple of questions is your DXF input just flat 2D?

Is there an application that can import survey points (from a total station) directly into AutoCAD? We only have standard ACAD 2011, not civil or map 3d etc. I only have a mechanical drafting background, so I'm not familiar w/ anything survey related. We have a Leica total station (would this application come from the total station maker and not software?) We always attach the point # and elevation to the point - but on different layers so we can view them independently. Right now this is what I'm doing: The survey data is de-coded in Excel, and commands are made to paste into AutoCAD, but I must use R14 because its single line text command works so that a new line in excel creates a new command line in AutoCAD. I've tried to modify the excel output to work w/ newer versions of ACAD but it wont work.
