With the new Convert 2D Objects, Civil Site Design can read your 2D objects, such as text or block attributes and convert them into dynamic, elevated Cogo Points. The result? A live surface onto which design can begin.
Modern survey equipment now stores more identifiers for a point than just a single integer value. Users can opt to identify the point using an alpha-numeric input. An alpha-numeric point is made up of a combination of alpha characters (eg : A, B, C) and numeric values (1, 2, 3, Etc). A common application of […]
