CDS makes Survey and COGO easy!

Survey and Cogo routines within CDS provide you with a complete range of tools to allow any layout, from a subdivision to footing details to be designed quickly and efficiently, in 3 dimensions if necessary. The list following gives an overview of some of the tools available.

  • Import raw data directly from wide range of surveying instruments. For eg Sokkia, Topcon
  • Import data from a wide range of other Survey Programs. For example Civil3D, 12D, Civilcad etc
  • Import data from a number of industry standard formats - DWG, LandXML etc
  • Input data using windows compliant digitizer.
  • Pick up data directly into CDS from GPS using NMEA codes.
  • Enter data into a traverse table.
    • Perform geoid corrections.
    • Perform network least squares solution.
  • Enter data directly into Excel type tables. Many formats available such as traditional stadia, stadia, level book and level sheet.
  • Feature code automatically creates layers, strings points, enters symbols.
  • Comes complete with predefined symbols. As they are in DWG format it is easy to create or find your own symbol.
  • Complete range of point manipulation routines are available.
    • Create.
    • Alter.
    • Rotate.
    • Transformations
    • Listings
  • Complete range of string manipulation routines are available.
    • create
    • edit
    • adjust by minimum area
    • adjust by crandall, bowditch, least squares.
    • unravel
    • reverse
    • add/drop points
    • circle/line of best fit
