A comparison to illustrate the impact

MicroSurvey’s surveyor friendly tools can

have when added to a regular CAD workflow

Confidential13

Stonebridge Drive Subdivision, Road Allocation and

Later Re-Subdivision

Pure CAD will be sufficient when a project

is simple. MicroSurvey embeddedCAD’s

strengths are apparent when you

investigate a complex, multi stage project.

• Road

Exchanges

are required

• Many

complex

exchanges

required

• Many details

Challenge: Calculating Areas for many exchanges, and ensuring that all required dimensions are correct and included.

MicroSurvey Solution: The Lot Closure Routine walks you through each exchange and uses labels from your drawing.

Confidential18

Using the Lot Closure Tool

• Allows calculation of areas and closure

• Allows you to pick dimensions from the drawing

• Provides an accurate check of annotations

• Checks that annotations are complete

• Provides a written summary

Confidential19

Challenge: A Multitude of labeling settings are required for grid to ground scaling and differing lineweights.

MicroSurvey Solution: Project Labeling Defaults eases styles definition and access.

information

Challenge: Creation of tables can be a long, manual Process with a CAD program.

MicroSurvey Solution: Create tables right from the project database

Creating a Multi-ties Table

• One of several convenient Table Building tools

• Create Tables from points stored in database

• Line Tables, Curve Tables, Coordinate Tables, Description Tables, Lot Tables
