Exercise 1: Creating a Survey Database In this exercise, you will open the Survey tab in Toolspace, create a local survey database, and then open a drawing to display the survey data. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Survey Databases. Create a survey database 1 Open Survey-1.dwg, which is located in the tutorial drawings folder (page 819). 2 Click Home tab ➤ Palettes panel ➤ Survey Toolspace . 3 In Toolspace, on the Survey tab, right-click Survey Databases. Click New Local Survey Database. 4 In the New Local Survey Database dialog box, enter Survey 1 for the database name. Click OK. The newly created database is added to the Survey Databases collection on the Survey tab. Empty items that appear in the collection include Import Events, Networks, Figures, and Survey Points. These collections are populated when you add or create survey data. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 2: Setting the Equipment and Figure Prefix Databases (page 130). Exercise 2: Setting the Equipment and Figure Prefix Databases In this exercise, you will create new survey equipment and figure prefix databases and definitions. Equipment definitions specify the values associated with a specific surveying instrument, such as the standard deviations associated with the measuring capabilities of the instrument. Figure prefixes specify the layer that a figure is drawn on, how a figure is stylized, and whether figures are created as breaklines and lot lines. When figures are created, they are matched based on their names and the prefix names. All figures that match a specific prefix are assigned the properties of the prefix. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topics Survey Equipment Database and Survey Figure Prefix Database. 130 | Chapter 6 Survey Tutorials
