Clipping the survey to a specific area of a drawing page is paramount in an efficient drawing workflow and something TPC has provided for a long time. This leaves the rest of the page for Paper Space objects like a title, scale bar, north arrow, legend and narrative.
Enhanced Integrating for CAD
The object you use to clip survey space in your TPC drawing correlates directly with the viewport object CAD uses to display your survey in a CAD Paper Space layout. It’s a direct correlation that allows TPC to integrate seamlessly with CAD.
Two-Way Clipping for Better Compatibility
The new two-way clipping feature ensures that CAD layouts and survey data work seamlessly together. You can clip survey data into CAD viewports and vice versa, enhancing the cross-platform compatibility for your projects. This makes it easier to work in a multi-software environment, whether you’re in land surveying, civil engineering, or construction.
Why It’s Important
If you’re using survey software and CAD tools simultaneously, you know how challenging it can be to keep data aligned and accurate. This feature eliminates those problems by ensuring that your survey data and CAD viewports are always perfectly synced.
