Carlson Survey is a Windows software application for the Surveyor’s office to manage the complete job cycle from field data collection to drafting a final plan with several CAD options. With minimum effort and time, Carlson Survey allows users to design and produce a 2D drawing, an enhanced 3D surface model and construction layout data sets, for increasing their efficiency and profitability. This Carlson Survey includes the AutoCAD engine and runs as a "stand alone" product.
Key Features: • Compatibility: AutoCAD©, AutoCAD Map©, Land Desktop©, Civil3D© & IntelliCAD© • Automated Plan Drafting from Field Data • Generation of Surface Models, Roadways, Lots and Plans • Full COGO Features • Simple or Advanced Configurations
