For Professional Land Surveyors Since 1983 - A Division of Carlson

Carlson Software Introduces All-New Simplicity 'Sight' Survey 2009. This new release from Simplicty/Carlson provides well orchestrated harmony of COGO and CAD — perfect for DOTs and for firms working with DOTs. “Sight” Survey 2009 provides simplified methods for solving commonly encountered coordinate geometry and construction surveying problems.

Get Affordable Versatility. Simplicity "Sight" Survey 2009 works with AutoCAD®, IntelliCAD®, and MicroStation®.

Power Boosters Included. “Sight” Survey also includes several power boosters direct from other Carlson Software products. These include: Carlson File Compatibility; Field-to-Finish to bring field data directly into CAD; Raw File Edit and Reprocess; Enhanced Data Collector Communications; and SurvNET, Carlson’s powerful Network Least Squares application.

What Is "Sight" Survey?
"Sight" Survey is a fully three dimensional coordinate geometry package containing all the tools you need to solve your day-to-day COGO problems! With a virtually unlimited capacity for points (over 3.5 trillion), "Sight" Survey is capable of projects from the smallest lot survey to the largest subdivision. And, if you're wondering about the word "Site" being misspelled as "Sight" rest assured we didn't misspell it. Why? Because "Sight" Survey is more than just a COGO program. It includes a fully operational CAD program that allows you to compute your data and produce your drawing at the same time! With "Sight" Survey, you can SEE your work in progress!

Major Features
 
New! Simplicity "Sight" Survey 2009 works with AutoCAD® (version 2002 and newer), MicroStation® (v8, XM, or PowerDraft) and IntelliCAD®, which comes built-in. It is even capable of running without a CAD application, giving its users ultimate flexibility in a COGO program.
New features include easy-to-use COGO with:
  • Field-to-Finish
  • Raw Data Editors
  • Network Least Squares
  • Contouring
  • Data Collector Communications

Carlson / CG SurvNET True
"Network" Least Squares
 
Carlson / CG SurvNET - Combined Carlson and CG SurvNET runs totally standalone in Windows. SurvNET standalone consists of two additional programs from both Carlson and CG: Data Collection Upload/Download and Raw Data Field Editor with Conversion program. These two solid survey programs from Carlson and CG coupled with our brand new "Network" Least Squares program comprise Carlson/CG SurvNET. You pick your workflow Carlson or CG to download and prepare your file for Network Least Squares. SurvNET streamlines and simplifies adjusting multiple surveys or networks of surveys by Least Squares for the modern professional licensed surveyor. SurvNET first downloads the electronic data collector's raw and coordinate data. Second, SurvNET reviews and allows editing the field data. Third and last, the raw field data is adjusted automatically in our new Network Least Squares program. SurvNET, developed by CG, has been adapted to run in Carlson Software, CG Software, and standalone in Windows. Doing Network Least Squares is now as easy as 1-2-3 using SurvNET.

If you're a Licensed Professional Surveyor you need it - Carlson/CG SurvNET! Works great with any civil software.
