AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors-Coordinate Systems

In this oldie but goodie video, I show you how to set up coordinate systems in AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawings & Survey Databases.

If you’re new to AutoCAD Civil 3D, properly setting up your Drawing and Survey Databases is the most important thing you need to do.

While this video shows you how to set up coordinate systems in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Drawings & Survey Databases, the concepts remain the same for older releases and newer releases, like; AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012, and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013.

AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawing Units and Zone Settings

Last week I wrote an article outlining the 5 AutoCAD Civil 3D Settings Professional Land Surveyors Need To Know.

Because these are important settings I’ll write an AutoCAD Civil 3D Surveying Quick Tips and Tricks article weekly about each of those five settings.

The first of the five AutoCAD Civil 3D settings Professional Land Surveyors need to know was, “Units and Zone AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawing Settings“, which is explained in today’s AutoCAD Civil 3D Surveying Quick Tips and Tricks.

AutoCAD Civil 3D Bright Ideas

It’s frustrating as heck trying to learn how to setup and use AutoCAD Civil 3D and also get projects completed. You’re not a professional student; you’re a Professional Land Surveyor, Engineer, Designer, etc.

Whatever you are, you’re trying to get the job done right and earn a living!

Depending on what’s in your AutoCAD Civil 3D drawing, there can be hundreds of settings, if not more. Many of these settings may only control how something looks and is eventually plotted, but several are really important settings controlling important elements of your work. You must ensure that your data, the input and output, is handled appropriately with the software for land surveying uses.

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 for Land Surveyors-Coordinate Systems

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Video for Land Surveyors: Coordinate Systems

This video shows you how to setup the coordinate system in your AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Drawing and Survey Database.

The goal here is to make sure that the coordinate system in your AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 (the same applies for older releases) Drawing agrees the coordinate system you’re using in your Survey Database.

Out of the box, even when opening an Imperial Template, you may be surprised to find that the “Foot” definition is not what you may have expected. By default, the Imperial Template and the Survey Databases is set to use the International Foot (1 Foot=0.3048 Meters) for Imperial to Metric conversion.

It is up to you to change these settings to use the US Survey Foot (39.37 Inches per Meter) for Imperial to Metric conversions, if that is the appropriate Foot Definition that you should be using. Play the video below to learn more.
