As the number one office solution for surveyors in the U.S., the latest release of Carlson Survey, continues its development of survey features based on customer requests. The versatile and popular surveying software solution works like a surveyor thinks. Carlson Survey is designed for use for land surveying. It provides a full toolkit for surveyors with everything from network least squares to surface modelling. Users get the ability to work seamlessly between the office and the field and they can establish company-wide design styles to ease and speed their work.
TOP NEW FEATURES
Carlson Cloud: Transfer files and messages to SurvCE users in the field
Geodetic Mapping: Calcs for geodetic angles, distances and areas
Annotative Text/Points: Auto resize for drawing scale.
Lock Points: Lock selected points in the coordinate database to prevent modifications
Field-to-Finish: New pipe network feature coding
Google Earth: Added export for text, images and surfaces and import for points with photos
SURVEY COMMANDS
Data Collection Interfaces: Upload and download to popular data collectors
Traverse Adjustment: Spreadsheet editor for raw data with graphics and processing for traverse adjustments.
SurvNET: Advanced network least-squares for total station, GPS and level data
Field-to-Finish: Draw points with styles and in point groups set by point descriptions and draw linework by several flexible methods.
Field-to-Finish Inspector: Inspect all field-to-finish elements, see description source and re-draw based on descriptions edits
Coordinate Transformations: Transform coordinates and screen entities between lat/lon and grid projections as well as local to local by Helmert and least-squares methods
Deeds: Enter deed by description, read deed data from deed file, deed reports, deed correlation and generate legal description from drawing
Cut Sheets: Create custom cut sheet reports with reference grades and station-offsets
SURFACE COMMANDS
Build Surfaces: By triangulation or rectangular grids
Contouring: One step triangulate and contour from 3D entities as well as contouring from surface files
Surface Manager: Change surface display properties and adjust surface functions to add and remove points and break lines and swap edges
Volumes: Earthwork volumes between triangulation or grid surfaces
Pad Design: Tie cut/fill slopes from pad perimeter to surface, build pad surface, calculate and balance volumes, and edit pad parameters
CENTRELINES
Design and Edit Centrelines: Design or input alignments on screen or in dialog with graphics
Label Stations and Offsets: Annotate station and offsets along centreline and at selected points
Calculate Offsets: Reports stations and offsets for selected points along centreline
Create Offset Points: Create points at specified stations and offsets
Spirals: Flexible handling of the most complex spiral curves including “spiral-only” elements going arc-spiral-arc, arc-spiral-line and line-spiral-line
PROFILES
Create Profiles: From surfaces, screen entities, points on centreline, etc.
Quick Profile: One step profile creation with real-time update while adjusting centreline
Input-Edit Profiles: Enter profile data in dual spreadsheet and graphic window, and design in reference to controlling profile grade points
Draw Profiles: Draws profiles on grids or plan-profile sheets with auto-updating based on edits
Profiles To 3D: Create points and 3D polylines from profiles
POINTS
Import/Export: User-defined import and export of point data along with conversions with specific other formats
Draw Points: Draw points with settings for symbols, layers and styles
Point Groups: Point group manager to define sets of point by filters
Coordinate File History: Tracks all changes to points with report and undo functions
Fix Point Label Overlaps: Finds point label overlaps with rule options to fix automatically
Point Tools: Utilities for modifying point labels such as move with leader, twist and resize
AREA/LAYOUT
Label Areas: Customized area label styles and several methods to select areas to label
Size Areas: Sliding side area, hinged area, area radial from curve and bearing area cutoff
Lot Network: Commands for subdividing a site into lot and ROW areas. Dynamically updates areas for any changes to boundaries. Includes ability to label linework and areas and to draw setback boundaries
Lot Manager: Lot definitions by point numbers with functions to create lots, conduct map check for closure, edit in spreadsheet with graphics, report lots and draw lots
Offsets, Intersection and Cul-de-Sacs: Layout for ROW and EOP linework
ANNOTATION
Angle & Distance Labels: Flexible routines to label linework in all possible layout combinations plus available rules to automatically fix label overlaps and revise labels when entities move
Curve Labels: Label curve data in stack, along arc or in table
Survey Text: Routines to create typical plat labels such as offset and building dimensions
Linetypes: Draw special linetypes
