Surveyors and base mappers who have to connect the dots and want to find better, more efficient ways to perform this mundane process

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.

• Create an existing conditions surface with breaklines from a coordinate file import
• Edit coordinate files with linework commands to help create an almost finished base map upon import
• Use figure prefix databases to generate linework from fieldwork
• Use description keys and point groups to control visibility and display
