Autodesk Survey 2005 works with new Autodesk Land
Desktop 2005 to streamline the surveying process,
helping you work smarter and faster. Automatically
download or upload professional survey information
using a wide range of industry-standard data
collectors, survey instruments, and GPS receivers.
Then quickly and accurately analyze and adjust survey
observations and automatically import points and
survey figures into your drawing.

Save Time and Money Streamlining Data Collection

Autodesk Survey 2005 integrates seamlessly with
Autodesk Land Desktop 2005—providing point
management, terrain modeling and contouring, and
alignments and parcels—to form thecornerstone of
your Autodesk infrastructure solution. Autodesk Land
Desktop is in turn built on the solid foundation of
AutoCAD 2005, the latest release of the world’s most
popular CAD software, ensuring you can communicate
with your land-planning colleagues wherever they’re
working.

Autodesk Survey 2005 streamlines the collection of
data, eliminating keystrokes, saving time, and
ensuring accuracy.

Survey Tasks Made Easier

Autodesk Survey can automatically generate drawings
from field data in the AutoCAD environment. This
software works smoothly with the industry’s leading
hardware, allowing linework and field coding for
automatic mapping capabilities. And it’s easy to share
your survey data with civil engineering, GIS, and
land-planning professionals.

Transmit Data Efficiently

Autodesk Survey extends the functionality of Autodesk
Land Desktop to automatically create linework, points,
symbols, and terrain-model breaklines directly from
field survey data. It connects field codes to create
lines and curves on user-defined layers. It adds
points to the project database, and the description
key automatically adds the detailed descriptions and
symbols. You can use linework as breaklines when
generating terrain models. And after the design phase
is complete, the field crew can transmit proposed
grade points back to the data collector for stakeout.

Enhance Productivity

With Autodesk Survey, you can communicate with more of
the most widely used survey instruments, including
data collectors, total stations, GPS receivers, and
digital lasers. It also converts ASCII and coordinate
data to and from a wide range of data formats. As
Autodesk Survey creates data, it also creates DWG
drawing files, so you never have to translate between
the data and the drawing. And Autodesk Survey has
tabular input and fieldbook creation and editing tools.
