Description:
This 2 day course is designed for Surveyors who want to learn how to apply productive techniques of Right-of-Way mapping, parcel creating, coordinate geometry and transformation commands to a project, using Survey or Site SelectCAD V8. This course will focus on inputting record information, fitting deed parcels to existing geometry, creating ROW geometry, transforming from imperial units to metric units, annotating maps and reporting on ROW acquisition parcels. Upon completion of this course a student would be able to apply productive techniques towards completing ROW mapping and acquisition parcels.

Pre-requisites:
Students should have experience ROW mapping, surveying, coordinate geometry and an understanding of survey acquisitions. Also working knowledge of MicroStation SE or J.
