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

-
Area and minimum area calculations are handled easily to allow you to design and
check subdivision layouts efficiently.
