The Surveyors' Companion utilizes basic surveying principles and proven technology used by thousands of clients. Its integration within Civil 3D provides surveyors with a seamless environment in which they can interact with native point, parcel, surface, alignment and profile data. Multiple dialog and command line based routines allow the input of raw alignment, lot and field traverse information directly into drawings, bypassing the use of external survey databases. Robust point placement routines allow surveyors to quickly locate COGO points to be uploaded to the field for staking.

Pricing and Availability
A single license of Surveyors' Companion is available for $595, while a network license is $795. For more information, please contact Eagle Point at 1-800-678-6565.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Eagle Point Software Corporation today announced the release of its second product in the LandSketch series. LandSketch for Highways provides those responsible for highway transportation planning with powerful, yet simple route layout and selection tools. Intelligent alignment and profile tools are combined with the ability to visualize and report on GIS data, giving immediate feedback as to the effects and feasibility of multiple design alternatives.

With support for Google Earth, LandXML, and Shape files, LandSketch for Highways allows designers to begin their preliminary designs by leveraging numerous forms of electronic data. Once these existing features are established, highway segments including basic horizontal, vertical, and cross-sectional elements are simply sketched on the basemap complete with catchlines and proposed right-of-way. From here, multiple "what if" scenarios can quickly be scrutinized by utilizing built-in reports that immediately quantify environmental impacts, area takes, and rough earthwork volumes. By eliminating the data conversion bottleneck that occurs between CAD and GIS for each alternative, engineers and planners can focus more of their time collaborating on the most cost effective and least impactful design.

"While meeting with engineering firms and government agencies during the application’s development, it was quickly confirmed that LandSketch could dramatically reduce the time they spend laying out highway alignments and analyzing the impacts of their designs," explains Steve Biver, Civil Product Line Manager at Eagle Point Software. "To be able to construct the preliminary design elements and consider the environmental impacts for multiple alternatives in one system, organizations will save days if not weeks in the route creation and selection process."

Once satisfied with the preliminary design, users can transfer the data digitally to their engineering design software, such as AutoCAD Civil 3D, to begin developing detailed engineering plans.

Pricing and Availability
A license of LandSketch is priced at $2495 for a single license and $2995 for a network license. Shipping is to begin in mid-August. For more information, contact your Eagle Point Account Representative at 800-678-6565.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Eagle Point Software Corporation announced the introduction of a new version of LANDCADD that fully integrates landscape design within the BIM workflow. By leveraging the Autodesk Revit Architecture platform and directly locating LANDCADD's plant, hardscape and site components into the building model, firms will have a more complete design earlier in the project process.

"Understanding the need for an integrated, multi-disciplinary design process earlier in the BIM workflow, we are providing a set of landscape design tools for Autodesk's Revit Architecture", explains Luis Rojas, Architecture Product Line Manager at Eagle Point. "We see that these tools will help clients bridge a gap between the traditional design workflow and the BIM workflow. Furthermore, making the plants and other landscaping objects part of the Revit BIM model benefits project stakeholders downstream."

Pricing and Availability
LANDCADD for Revit will be available for purchase beginning in mid-August with shipping to start in October 2009. For more information, please contact Eagle Point at 1-800-678-6565 or your Autodesk reseller.

DUBUQUE, Iowa - Eagle Point Software Corporation is pleased to announce that David Evans & Associates, Inc. has successfully implemented the Eagle Point Pinnacle Series and Task Navigator for Civil 3D in their U.S. offices.

Needing to implement AutoCAD Civil 3D on a large-scale within their civil and surveying departments, David Evans & Associates, Inc. chose Eagle Point Task Navigator for Civil 3D as their implementation solution. In addition, they were interested in using Task Navigator for Civil 3D to create consistency within their offices and deploying workflows electronically.

According to Jason Ferrell, Civil Engineer Technician and Civil 3D user in the Phoenix office of David Evans & Associates, Inc., the company sees Eagle Point's Task Navigator for Civil 3D being beneficial to users on several levels. "First and foremost," he explains, "it provides users with a simple and efficient interface, the content of which is updated over the network as changes are made to the various workflows. This guarantees that everyone is always looking at the latest processes that have been implemented. This also means that we need not wait for all department workflow procedures to be completed before distributing electronic documentation."

"Second," Mr. Ferrell continues, "the Task Navigator can function as either a step-by-step guide for someone doing a task for the first time, or as a simple reference for an experienced user wanting to make sure they didn't miss a step somewhere. A large part of how we use Civil 3D is dependant upon the needs of the other departments working on the project. By having the procedures published in a clear and concise manner such as the Task Navigator, we can ensure that we take full advantage of the dynamic linking capabilities that Civil 3D allows."

About Pinnacle Series and Task Navigator for Civil 3D
Task Navigator for Civil 3D is powerful add-on technology directly integrated into AutoCAD Civil 3D, providing end users with on-screen instructions and shortcuts to commands needed to complete their daily tasks. It includes defined workflows for common, every day surveying, engineering and design tasks that team members can use immediately, dramatically improving an organization's ability to implement the 3D modeling capabilities of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

When combined with the remaining Pinnacle Series solutions, Process Mapper and Workflow Monitor, Task Navigator for Civil 3D provides a complete set of tools that can speed an organization's adoption of AutoCAD Civil 3D and align teams to an organization's standards and best practices.
