I have a spreadsheet of points with all kinds of info on the monument found (year, PLS#, GCDB, etc, etc.) in addition to northing/easting and lat/long. All of the fields are the column heading. Is it possible to use this spreadsheet to build a GIS system in Carlson Survey, without having to re-key in all this info point-by-point?
I need a way to keep track of (essentially) PLSS corners and lines, and encode info on each of them. I'm hoping I can do this in Carlson somehow, and be able to share it with ArcGIS users.
Yes, you will need to import that spreadsheet into an Access database. The information in the CAD file is linked to the database. I have only linked polygons (closed poly lines) to the database, but I assume that the same can be done with points or symbols.
I am currently using Carlson GIS with Intellicad on a project building a database for a client that currently has approximately 5,200 or so records in it.
You may need the GIS module to do what you are wanting to do.
