Carlson Takeoff PDF Merge

MAYSVILLE, Kentucky, U.S.A. — Carlson Takeoff R5, which comes with the AutoCAD® engine built-in, gives users increased 3D visualization, a whole new set of commands for working with PDF files, and the ability to produce customized, more professional reports among its many additional improvements.

A comprehensive and accurate CAD-based project-estimating and modeling software solution for contractors, Carlson Takeoff 5.0 (R5) allows users to estimate and report cut/fill quantities, subgrade materials, topsoil removal/replacement, over-excavation, trenching, roads and strata calculations from a variety of possible sources.

“Contractors are increasingly getting design files as PDFs that often contain images,” explains David Carlson, V.P. of Development for Carlson Software. “The new routines in Carlson Takeoff R5 that convert images to CAD linework speed up the process of making this image data useful.

“For road work in Carlson Takeoff,” he says, “we added the ability to break out cross section quantities by staging and also the reporting of unsuitable material for end areas.”

Professional Land Surveyor News: Carlson Software & Transtronic AB Reach Mutual Development & Distribution Agreement for 3D GNSS Drilling Solutions

Professional Land Surveyor News: Carlson Software & Transtronic AB Reach Mutual Development & Distribution Agreement for 3D GNSS Drilling Solutions

Here’s an interesting press release that I originally found interesting, but thought at the time that it was  not overly relevant to professional land surveyors. Since then, however, with the catastrophic BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion, fire, and oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico this may now be very topical and newsworthy.

I don’t know if the 3D GNSS drilling solutions detailed below are even applicable to the type of deep water drilling being used to drill the two relief wells adjacent to the former location of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig? If anyone knows, please give us an update below in this posts comments section. Either way, the technology detailed below, and I’m sure the technology being used to drill the two BP Deepwater Horizon oil rig relief wells, is very impressive and shows again how integrated GPS is becoming in all aspects of our lives and businesses. I think this also another example of how machine control is changing our industry and is here to stay.

MAYSVILLE, Ky., U.S.A., & KÖPING, Sweden – Carlson Software Inc. and Transtronic AB recently reached an agreement for international distribution of Carlson’s Drill Grade 4.0 software with Transtronic’s hardware and sensor technology.

Working together, Carlson’s Drill Grade software and Transtronic AB hardware, which includes sensors for length, angle and azimuth measurement, provide a complete 3D Drill solution for all types of drill rigs for OEM considerations or retrofit.
