How can i write survey data to graphics in OpenRoads like in inroads?

I need to insert my survey points into my drawing as graphical elements. How can this be done in Openroads. I do not have Inroads native tools in my workspace. ORD 10.08.01.33 release 2 CDOT workspace

  • Here is link to a similar thread, with a link to a video explaining Survey annotations. As I understand it, importing the points only creates transient "decorators", and for actual graphics to be drawn requires annotations.

    I haven't dug into this deeply, myself. But I do see this subject come up from time to time. Feel free to report back if you figure it out!
    Hopefully someone with more experience in this will come along and share their wisdom

  • Yes, this is possible. 

    1.- Process survey points thru 'Explorer' => 'Survey' => 'Survey Data' => 'Field books' 

    2.- After you have cleaned up your file. go back to 'Explorer' => 'Survey' =>'Survey Data' => right click on 'Field Book' => 'Export to'  Select 'DGN Graphics' 

        A new file will be created with only the graphics created by the survey points 

    Let me know if It works or if you have any questions
