I work for an engineering and land surveying firm. Due to the phasing out of Eagle Point our firm is gearing up for the transition. I am pretty familiar with Civil3D and most of the functions; however, being an engineer and not a surveyor I am not well educated on the process of importing the points from the data collectors to Civil 3D. Our supplier is suggesting a module called Data Reduction which is essentially an EaglePoint add on for Civil3D. My question is this; is there a way in Civil3D to import these points directly from the data collectors without the use of additional software? It would seem foolish to me if Civil3D was to have all of the capability to manipulate process and create point data but does not have the ability to download them. Any help would be appreciated.
