Chapter 1SurveyingSECTION C2: CIVIL 3D SURVEYIMPORTING AND EXPORTINGPROCEDURESThe use of AutoCAD Civil 3D can provide theuser greater efficiency when downloading,processing, designing and plotting data. Thefollowing procedures instructs the user how toimport, create and export survey data. All surveyshall be collected in a manner that correlateswith Florida Survey coding, while using thecomponents from the Localized FloridaTemplate. Several features within AutoCADCivil 3D will be useful when downloading andwill save office time.Part 650Engineering Field HandbookFlorida SupplementB. From the Ribbon’s “Home” tab,select “Import Survey Data”C. Click “Create New SurveyDatabase ” tile buttonThis procedure assumes the user has a basicunderstanding of AutoCAD Civil 3D. If a moredetailed explanation is required, refer to theonline Reference Guides (RGuides) located atwww.nrcsknowledge.comBefore using these procedures, user should makesure the following programs and files are up todate on computer. Compatibility issues mayarise if any program is not up to date: NRCS Civil 3D files – several features havebeen localized from National HeadquartersCivil 3D template including all of theFlorida Survey codes, Coordinate systems,and Styles Windows Mobile Device Center Program –used to link external devices such as DataCollector (TSC3) data collectors and variousTotal Stations. Geoid Model files (GGF) installed usingAutoCAD and Trimble Link menu fromCivil3D. (An IT specialist may have to dothis)I.IMPORTING A SURVEY CSV FILEUSING “IMPORT SURVEY DATA”A.
