Course Overview
This course is focused on developing student's skills in an integrated coordinate geometry and drafting environment with an emphasis on MicroSurvey software. When possible, field data from the concurrent Field Survey Course will be used as examples. Students will become familiar with electronic data uploading and downloading and data processing. Traverse data entry and adjustment, importing and exporting routines, creation of drawing templates, Land Title drafting standards and the creation of symbols will be introduced. Through lecture and lab assignments the processes required to create basic legal survey plans, undertake subdivision and area calculations, fit house layouts to lots with setback requirements will be taught. An introduction to the 3-D capabilities of MicroSurvey will also be presented, including surface modelling and contour generation.
