Holy Cow!!!Must be some sort of rant. Or maybe a secret plot to create some sort of "virtual warfare", where sane people go insane by reading the int...
Autodesk has decided that they only support the last three releases, and that this is consistent with the policy that they always had.They fail to sta...
Oh, and to add to the mess, since this is in rural area, records are hard to find. Even though we're in a recording state, the local records were fil...
Yep, following original footsteps is an important part of our profession...But you can easily run into areas where the "surveyor of record" only went ...
Are you talking about one of those bastardized systems, often called something like "Modified State Plane"...?I hate those systems. As projects have ...
And if you think the DOTs are a pain, try dealing with the Army Corps of Engineers, who also use that dysfunctional software, and then expect their cl...
There is also convergence to worry about. That can cause a divergence between bearings on ground systems vs. grid systems, depending on how far you g...
The last of what I always thought of as the "trio"... Isaac Asimov, Aurthur C. Clark, and Ray Bradbury.I always favored Isaac Asimov the most, but al...

You can import LandXML into v8i, but I think you may need Inroads/GeoPak/PowerCivil, as opposed to straight Microstation. (Not completely sure about ...
Was it even possible to export LandXML in LDD3? If so, it must be a pre-v1.0 version of LandXML. I actually can't remember back that far, it's been ...
Once you get into including the embedded version of AutoCAD into Carlson, the price isn't much different than C3D. We find C3D to be far more flexibl...
We've had discussions along those lines ourselves.Being a Land Surveyor is more than just knowing how to use the equipment. There are a lot of "judge...
I can also understand why some people in some areas (such as Los Angeles) may want multi-man crews... Not only may you run into dangerous situations ...
Interesting comments...I agree with mmm184, in that no corners are cut. We've been running one-man crews for a decade now, and have discovered that (...
It's kind of a waste of money to run Carlson on top of Civil 3D, since both programs can do pretty much all the same things. If you have one, you don...
We had a big local downturn recently, where several firms from Denver bid projects in SE Colorado (often involving 3 hours/day of travel time) for rou...
