Microsurvey CAD

MicroSurvey CAD is a complete desktop survey and design program created for surveyors, contractors, and engineers.

No plug-ins or modules necessary. Includes complete survey drafting, COGO, DTM, traversing, volumes, contouring, point cloud manipulation, and data collection interfacing. Fully compatible AutoCAD and data from all major total stations and data collectors.

Integrated Survey, Design, and CAD

• Download, calculate, design, draft, check, and print – all incorporated into a field-to-finish package.
• Easy-to-understand concepts – OSNAPs, coordinates, editing commands – familiar command line interface, and DWG native format.

Powerful Survey Calculations

• Batch COGO – automatically record entries in our spreadsheet-style editor and reprocess!
• Compatible with data from all major total stations and data collector packages.
• Easy coordinate transformations including UTM, State Plane, and MTM.

Incredible Data Extraction from Point Clouds

• Only available in the Ultimate and Studio editions.
• Create surface and contour files directly from your point cloud data, and preview your work directly in the point cloud.

Enhanced Visualization and Point Cloud Manipulation

• Powerful graphics and point cloud engine highly optimized for viewing and working with larger datasets.
• Cut cubes, profile slices, and layer toggles for ultimate control over what you see.

Complete Traverse or Network Adjustments

• Angle and vertical balance, transit, compass, Crandall’s rule.
• Blunder detection, full 3D least squares adjustment.
• Graphical ellipse display, instrument storage, reprocessing and pre-analysis.

Active Drawing Technology

• MicroSurvey's Active Drawing Technology enables verification, editing, printing, and manipulation of data in the drawing, in the coordinate and traverse databases, and during batch COGO calculations.

Smart Information

• Smart Objects: lines, points, curves, and text.
• Pick and edit objects automatically without initiating a command.
• Browse the entire coordinate database by simply picking any point in your drawing.

Powerful DTM Contouring/Modeling Volumes

• 3D rendering.
• Virtually unlimited point capability.
• Simple to use: create a DTM and contour in four simple steps.

Complete Site Design

• Site design: Ponds, ditches, stockpiles, and slopes.
• Road design: Horizontal and vertical alignments, cross-sectional templates.
• Create cross sections of existing ground and design surfaces.

Learning Resources
