Civil Survey AutoCAD Clone Software, no learning curve for AutoCAD users, Natively reads and writes AutoCAD DWG files, no need for conversion! Includes Data Collector file Import, COGO, Contours, DTM, Road Design, Sections and Profiles.

Features: This is a Survey, Cogo, DTM, and Road Design software. You need to use it with progeCAD Professional. It provides a low-cost alternative to otherwise high priced Land survey, coordinate geometry, digital terrain modeling, and corridor design software. It allows working directly with AutoCAD DWG files. This software is suitable for Professional Land Surveyors and Civil Engineers and provides a low-cost way for Architects to communicate their data to the Engineer. This Survey, Cogo, DTM, and Road Design software provides a solution for importing point data from data collector files, manual point entry, point manipulation, lot design and annotation, contours, digital terrain models, profiles, cross sections and corridor design. progeEARTH allows you to use the commands and menus you are used to. So that there is no learning time involved at all. The same menus you would have used in AutoCAD, and supports the same fonts, hatch patterns, model space/paper space etc. AutoCAD DWG format is handled as native file format. AutoLISP, VBA, ADS programming, import from PDF, Advanced Rendering, 3D ACIS Solid Modeling are included. Raster images can be imported and edited as can the conversion from raster to vector be done. Redlining features included is quite useful. Google Earth export is possible, quick dimensioning is available and advanced data extraction is useful.

Overall: A good substitute for AutoCAD and yet maintain compatibility with the industry standard drawings.
