Surveyors Exchange Company is now a reseller for CGS Plus products

http://usa.cgsplus.com/

If you are an Autodesk product user, please take a moment to see if these amazing tools can help you save time and effort: CGS Civil 3D Tools, CGS Revit Tools and Autopath.  These small applications enhance Civil 3D and Revit similar to AutoCAD Express Tools.  Autopath is a swept path analysis software at a fraction of the cost of other similar software on the market. The cost of the software could possibly be lower than the upgrade cost of your current swept path software. Low on price but definitely not low on features.  Click on the link above to view some of our newest tools available through Surveyors Exchange Company.  Contact Chris for more information, chris@tse-ak.com 907-561-6501 x 225.

Style Creation for AutoCAD Civil 3D

Many clients have put off implementing AutoCAD Civil 3D because they don't feel the program outputs the way they need it to. The outputs are all controlled with Styles. Civil 3D ships with some standard sets of styles but these styles aren't always what a client wants. Surveyors Exchange Co., in conjunction with Robert Gadbaw, is offering Styles Creation for AutoCAD Civil 3D for only $2,800, contact Chris for more information at chris@tse-ak.com. The turnaround time for these styles is typically 2 to 3 days. If you have any staff members attending our upcoming Civil 3D training this would be a perfect time for them to use their own set of styles during the class.

If company chooses for us to do their styles we need the following.

  • 2 sets of digital plans. These plans will be used to create similar looking styles. They must include existing and proposed examples of alignments, surfaces, profiles, pipes, etc.
  • A layering standard if the company currently has one. If no layering standard currently in place the National CAD Standard will be used.

Increase your speed and power without sacrificing flexibility. Deliver building, transportation, and environmental engineering projects faster and more economically. Design, visualize, and simulate manufacturing ideas on screen with no need for a physical prototype. It's all possible with Autodesk 2011 software. Learn more at the Autodesk Seize the Opportunity Virtual Event. Attendance is free. The Autodesk Seize the Opportunity Virtual Event came to desktops across the United States and Canada on April 19th. Due to its popularity, Autodesk has archived the event for you to enjoy. The event includes webcast sessions, an exhibit hall where you can stop by booths and learn more about Autodesk 2011 software solutions.

If interested please contact Chris at 561-6501 x225 or chris@tse-ak.com
