For format, select PNEZD (Comma Delimited). Check the box next to
Limit To Points In Point Group, and select Corners To Be Found.
This file could be sent to
a surveyor to help locate
the missing points in
the field.

You can view the results of successfully completing this exercise
by opening
Stake Out - Complete.dwg
. There was no change to the
survey database as a result of this exercise.
This file could be sent to
a geotechnical company
so that they can stake
out the test borings in
the correct location.
Now You Know
Now that you have completed this chapter, you understand the world of survey data as it exists
in the Civil 3D environment. You understand that survey data must reside in a survey database
that exists separately from the drawing file. You know how to import data into the survey
database and display it in your drawing as points and linework. You know how to automate
the organization and graphical properties of the points and linework using linework code sets,
description keys, the figure prefix database, and point groups. You can edit survey points and
survey figures by accessing the survey database and making changes using the appropriate tools.
Finally, you know several additional methods for importing points and creating them manually.
With the knowledge and skills you have gained in this chapter, you're ready to begin working
with survey data in Civil 3D: turning it from raw field data into a drawing representing the
existing conditions of a project.Breaklines
