civilcad$450 pp (1 day / module) The introduction course introduces the user to the main features of Civilcad Survey module. It provides the user with standard procedures to be followed when processing and plotting survey data. The user will develop libraries using user defined line types and symbols, plotting and different forms of data transfer. The Survey course is designed for existing users who have acquired a good knowledge of survey graphics, data entry, triangulation, contouring and survey plotting procedures within civilcad. This course will enable the user to fully utilize civilcad volumes, subdivision design and other advance options. Introductory Roads course is designed for users who have little or no experience with civilcad road design options. The course expands on knowledge gained in the Civilcad Introduction course and assumes users have operated civilcad prior to commencing. Advanced Roads is designed for users who are competent with the standard civilcad Road design functions and who require a better understanding of more complex tasks which can be achieved within civilcad. Conversion-Survey is designed for users who have experience with civilcad 5 particularly in Survey. The course will assist users to transfer their knowledge and methods from version 5 to version 6. This course is basically Introduction and Survey in one day. The Drainage / Sewer course takes competent civilcad users through how to establish and attribute drainage and sewer line work in the Survey module in preparation for design and calculations in the Drainage/Sewer modules. |
