This is a very rational layer scheme and once implemented across all your projects, it helps your own survey drafters to better organize the survey drawings. for Version 3…I didn't find the most recent version in my quick online search). I recommend using the AIA CAD Layer Guidelines (see. This makes it very time consuming to clean up the survey for use as base mapping. Even from the same surveyor (actually, the same drafter), I often get different layer schemes from one project to the next and almost always a fair portion of the entities are on the wrong layers. All sessions below are hosted from 11 am to 1 pm PT.For me, the #1 thing is rational naming and organization of layers, then making sure the entities are on the correct layers. Registrants must attend all four sessions.

Access will start the next business day after the session ends. Recording: Registrants for this course will receive access to a recording of each session for 48 consecutive hours. Students who wish to follow along with instructor are encouraged to use the same version. Note: Instructor will present using Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2022. A live instructor will explain the detailed functions, and address questions as the class progresses. This eight (8) hour course is delivered in four (4), two-hour long sessions that students can attend online, right from their own desk. From initial Point import, Point Groups, Descriptor Keys and all the way thru surface creation and linework drafting, this class will show you the simplest methods of generating accurate Survey basemaps. You don’t need to work with external databases and Field Books…you can handle all your drafting using basic Civil 3D features. Survey drafting in AutoCAD Civil 3D has a reputation of being far more difficult than it actually is.
