It hasn’t been around forever, but this Object Snap is such a handy little tool you’ll wonder how you ever managed to live without it! The best news is that it’s available both in AutoCAD and IntelliCAD. Continue reading
Special Offer from Esri for Carlson IntelliCAD Users
Since the focus of my class and of the NC Surveyors Show as a whole is GIS, I thought it made sense to bump the information about the free copy of Esri software to the top…
Another Happy Carlson Customer
Here is a great story about another customer of mine, John Prevette with Gooden & Associates out of Hope Mills, NC, and his successful transition from Civil 3d to Carlson Civil Suite.

And, I know what you’re thinking but the answer is “No.” Carlson did not pay him to say this – I asked just to make sure! In all seriousness, it’s great he was willing to be interviewed and confirm just how great a design tool Carlson is and just how quickly you’re able to get up to speed.
Feedback from Aaron Hahn, Hahn Engineering & Consulting
I’ve been a little slack in requesting feedback from my customers over the past year so I was very pleased to receive the following unsolicited feedback from Aaron Hahn this week:
I purchased the Civil Suite last month and I wanted to thank you for all your pdf tutorials you posted on your site. They have been extremely helpful and they have made the switch from Civil 3D to Carlson quick and easy.
I can confidently say, that I prefer this software over Civil 3D already (used Civil 3D for years)! It’s faster, has more control, and is generally cleaner than Civil 3D. Clean and simple.
Thanks for all your help! Looking forward to getting up to speed on more of your tutorials and webinars

North Carolina Surveyors Convention – Greensboro NC
Come visit us next week at our booth at the North Carolina Surveyors Convention at the Koury Convention Center in Greensboro NC. We’ll have the new Carlson Supervisor+ RTK GPS tablet available for you to test drive and you can learn how to use Carlson’s field software to collect GIS data that meets the criteria and that will import directly into Esri GIS software.
I will be teaching a concurrent session from 10:00-11:00 on Friday 2/3 on the topic of Carlson Software and GIS.
Also, if you’re brave enough, come by to take a quick CAD test – top scores eligible for great prizes!

Did you know… About the Upright flag for linetypes?
I didn’t until this weekend.
While working on a new Picks and Clicks article for Professional Surveyor magazine I stumbled on something incredibly handy. This setting keeps text that’s inserted into a linetype in an Upright position rather than allowing it to be upside-down. Continue reading
