Carlson Survey is designed to complement land surveying operations and provides a variety of survey features to process data from surface modeling to Least Squares Network Adjustment. Users work seamlessly between the office and the field by utilizing company-wide design templates for ease of use and efficiency.
Carlson Survey includes features that are comparable to the survey and GIS components of programs such as: DCA/Softdesk/Land Desktop, AutoCAD Map, Civil 3d, Eagle Point, TerraModel, GeoPak and InRoads.
This courseware is an essential resource for all surveyors and survey technicians utilizing Carlson Survey to perform all types of survey calculations and deliverables. Critical components of Carlson Survey are covered in a clear and comprehensive approach that enables the reader to quickly learn these key topics and effectively put them to use in their daily workflow. Each lesson contains a discussion of the background of the topic and its real world applications, followed by step-by-step exercises that demonstrate how to make them work for you.
After owning and operating his own company for fifteen years, Doug now works directly for Carlson Software as their Survey Product manager. Besides being involved in development, he dedicates his time consulting to both large and small land survey and engineering firms through on-site training, remote support and individually tailored documentation.
Duke Gardner has served the land surveying and civil engineering communities for over 35 years in a wide variety of support roles. His focus on the theory as well as the practice skills needed to achieve successful implementation made him an excellent partner in the author team for this guide.
Last summer I worked at a survey firm that used Carlson, after 3 months I quit because of it. Now on Carlson defense it was a 2004 version of Carlson and a locked version at that, no way to run lisp or create macros. After using current versions of Civil3D and Map3D there was no way to going back to an outdated software and being happy. So I suggect before you take the position find out what version of Carlson they use, if you are used to all the new features in C3D and AutoCAD you may have a hard time adjusting as well.
From what I've seen and read Carlson software is aimed at the survey community, and it is very popular there. Excellent tools for importing, processing and analysis of survey but perhaps not so much for civil design. The software is available in either an Intellicad or ACad version so you may want to find out which one you'll be using.
I have used Carlson Survey with AutoCAD embedded for 6 years now, in a survey setting. And most people are correct, it gets the job done. But that being said there is a lot of functionality that you miss and Carlson, in my opinion, is worse than the LT versions of AutoCAD. You cannot run LISP routines and it is Not compatible with anything. If you are looking for a low cost program to just get the job done then go with Carlson, but if you want to move forward with your job I would say look for people that use AutoDesk products.
I know a fairly large survey firm that uses Carlson on top of Civil 3D. Why? Because Carlson absolutely smokes C3D for many survey tasks. In fact, the only reason they use Civil 3D is because many of their clients want deliverables as finished C3D drawings.
Now, having said that... this is a survey only firm. I would say C3D has the upper hand when it comes to engineering drawings/tasks. In general, Carlson's UI/UX is pretty dated and the workflow is very different than C3D.
I have quite a bit of experience with both of the full version software. Being a meticulous person I work closely with the Surveyors in the company I work to make sure that the information given to the Architectural/Engineering department is on point. I pride myself on ensuring that the department is as efficient as possible. That being said, Carlson is great for the surveying, mining etc. sector of the profession. Civil 3D is great for the engineering sector. Once the surveyors, is tasked with producing information specifically for engineers then its better to go all out Civil 3D as it makes the process much smoother. Not that one is better than the other but each has its place.
I use Carlson Civil 2017 with AutoCAD 2017 (I don't use the free IntelliCad engine that is offered with Carlson) and I switched from Land Desktop 10+ years ago. Most of the above comments are misinformed. With Carlson, you can design smart roads with plan views, profiles, cross-sections, and intersections all coupled to together. Because I run Carlson on the AutoCAD engine, I can (and do) use annotative text, LSP files, and all AutoCAD commands (not Civil3D commands). With one button you can switch from the Carlson menu to AutoCAD menu. I find the 3D polyline approach very intuitive and it allows for automated grading and very buildable designs. Carlson Civil is geared toward engineers, but has full point and surface-model functionality. They have other programs geared to surveyors such Carlson Survey, others toward construction layout and grade-control of heavy equipment that used by most big contractors in my areas, and software for using LiDAR, drone-photos, and Google surfaces (blows my mind).
While in recent years other companies have excelled in the area of field equipment hardware development, Carlson has long had the market advantage in the areas of surveying software and data collectors. From its early beginnings with simple coordinate geometry routines, the company has led the industry in the development of data collection software that would run on a variety of devices. Their flagship Carlson data collector, the Surveyor2, has been on the market for many years and now carries an impeccable reputation for ease of use, durable build-quality, unsurpassed data management, and affordable price.
When Carlson recently decided to enter the broader survey field-equipment market, it was only natural that they should partner up with GeoMax, the company that was producing some of the finest and most affordable electronic survey instruments available. The combination of a Carlson robot, Carlson GPS system, Carlson data collector, and Carlson SurvCE data collection software offers unparalleled and seamless integration throughout the system. The tech support provided by Carlson far surpasses the industry standard; it is free and highly responsive to calls from users. And perhaps most importantly, a Carlson robotic total station comes with a copy of Carlson SurvCE data collection software installed on-board the instrument. This contributes significantly to the overall value of the system without adding anything to the cost. We highly recommend this type of integrated system.
When Carlson was founded in 1983, its surveying applications were based on Microsoft MS-DOS. The programs were ported to use Autodesk AutoCAD in 1989 and for the next 19 years, Carlson developed exclusively on the AutoCAD platform. Applications and customers were added consistently over the years until Carlson became one of the largest independent developers of Autodesk solutions.
Carlson software prices vary depending on the capabilities based on intended use but range from $1,095 for GIS software to $3,750 for their construction software. We offer a special price for a bundled order of all civil engineering design software, which includes civil, survey, hydrology and GIS software for $3,950.

Survey techniques utilized in the study are revealed, and the responses obtained from jurists, prosecutors, and defense attorneys throughout the jurisdiction are detailed. Finally, he advances recommendations to assist in meeting the challenge of justice for the poor.
The school district library supervisor plays a pivotal role in supporting, advising, and providing professional development to building-level librarians; advocating for the program; providing leadership; and representing school library programs to stakeholders in the school system and the larger community. To gain a better understanding of supervisors' roles, responsibilities, demographics, and challenges, and to establish baseline data upon which further research can be built, the Lilead Project was initiated in 2011 at the University of Maryland with funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. In 2012 the project team conducted the Lilead Survey, a survey of supervisors nationwide. In this paper, the second of two reports on the results of the survey, we present findings related to the responsibilities and tasks assigned to the position, professional development needs of supervisors and staff, and the range of stakeholder groups with which supervisors work.
To augment our limited in-house staff, we have established a series of external arrangements for statistical/methodological support of possible interest to other small statistical agencies. Through the National Agricultural Statistics Service, we have a long-standing cooperative agreement with Washington State University and a new one with the University of Nebraska. These provide access to outstanding survey methodologists, who have provided invaluable assistance in (re)designing NCSES surveys. We now are funding several postdocs at the National Institute of Statistical Sciences, who provide additional resources to tackle methodological/statistical issues. We would like to establish additional arrangements with statisticians to help us address our expanded responsibilities.
