If you’re not using Land XML you should be (yes, all of you)

A Virtual Webinar Using LandXML – Learn to Exchange and Archive Project Data

This webinar hosted by Jennifer DiBona of That CAD Girl makes the case for LandXML as a non-proprietary format for moving and archiving survey and design data, with export and import shown in Carlson on IntelliCAD, Land Desktop and Civil 3D. LandXML.org founder Nathan Crews then explains how the schema came about, where agencies require it and what is coming in LandXML 2.0.

Key Topics:

  • Why LandXML beats DWG, DXF and custom ASCII files for data exchange
  • Data LandXML carries: points, surfaces, centerlines, profiles and more
  • Exporting and importing LandXML in Carlson, Land Desktop and Civil 3D
  • Archiving project data in a readable non-proprietary format
  • DOT and government requirements for LandXML deliverables
  • LandXML 2.0: styles, textures, stormwater data and field descriptions
