© 2011 Autodesk Surveying and Base Mapping Standards and Practices You have probably been base mapping the same way for a decade. In this class, you will learn different ways to complete the same tedious task, but take advantage of the tools and functions at your disposal in Civil 3D. We will discuss improvements to Civil 3D and describe how you can leverage those improved tools to expedite your base mapping process. You will learn about out-of-the box functionality that should increase your productivity by leaps and bounds.

© 2011 Autodesk Class Summary In this class you will explore how AutoCAD ® Civil 3D software can handle data from numerous data collectors via a Survey Database. You will learn about Description Keys, Figure Prefix Libraries, and Linework Code Sets to help facilitate your fieldwork processing. You will learn a data management methodology that will allow for sharing of data while protecting it from accidental modification.

© 2011 Autodesk Learning Objectives At the end of this class, you will be able to:  Import or convert a data collector file to a coordinate file  Create and edit a Description Key File  Create and modify a Figure Prefix Library  Recognize the codes necessary for line work  Understand project data management workflow
