CADD 421 - Advanced CAD for Land Surveyors

Credits: 3

Description
The use of computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to create survey plats and topographic maps. Instruction will focus on learning COGO tools, the Command Prompt, and software to compute traverses. Students will also use deed data to create a deed file, perform deed correlation with field data, create and edit lots and areas, generate lots and setbacks, generate 2D and 3D geometry, and utilize various critical coordinate file utilities.

Student Learning Outcomes

Create survey plats and maps using best practice elements.
Create survey drawings by applying advanced AutoCAD commands.
Use AutoCAD to construct lots and setbacks.
Utilize various critical coordinate file utilities to generate 2D and 3D geometries.
