TPC Desktop™ Checks For CAD Mistakes Before You Stake Them

The problem with CAD drawings and stakeout is that too often, the next line doesn’t start where the last line ended.  We’ve all gotten caught trying to figure out what happened.

TPC Desktop™ eliminates those inherent CAD errors with it’s Convert to Survey tool.  Just pick any polyline, lines, arcs, splines and TPC checks for errors as it converts them to survey points and lines for stakeout.

• import CAD entities directly into TPC with layers, blocks, line types, labels, hatching
• or import the CAD drawing as an XRef and still access any entity or layer you want
• convert individual entities, multiple entities or and entire layer to survey
• easily export to your data collector with our dozens of built-in data collector formats
•  generate a stakeout report comparing design and as-stake positions, date and time
• and when the contractor knocks out your staked points, stake them out again and bill him again
• easily plot your as-built drawings
