Now you can edit your code set to match what was shot and coded out in the field. The first step is to right-click on Linework Code Sets -> New, then give your code set a name based on your company's standards. The Linework Code Sets within the Survey tools of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 allow you to set up linework codes that are alpha or numeric, depending on your needs. Start by initiating your survey toolspace within this area there is a new style named Linework Code Sets, as shown below.

How can you do this, you ask? Read on for a brief "How-to"! AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 now uses double, triple, and even quadruple point coding within ASCII files to process and draw linework. I am extremely excited to discuss the changes and advances to the survey linework processing capabilities within the latest release of the software. It also aids in surface creation because the figures that are drawn in the field can be imported into AutoCAD Civil 3D and used to quickly create a topographic surface model of the existing conditions.Ĭhanges in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Auto Linework This process makes for ease of post processing survey data and topo breakdown. Some data collectors can convert these files automatically, other times you need to download the raw file and use AutoCAD Civil 3D or a free applet (such as Carlson Connect, Leica Exchange or Trimble Link) for the conversion. rw5 data file you then convert the raw data file into a fieldbook file and import this into the program. In order to collect linework out in the field using prior versions of Autodesk's civil software, you need to add a "note" into your data collector with a code from the synonym file allowing the points with the same description to have 3D linework or "figures" connecting them. Previous versions of Land Development Desktop and AutoCAD Civil 3D have used Fieldbook (.fbk) files in order to process linework that was collected by surveyors in the field.
