Carlson Survey Desktop (CSD) Release 4.0 is now available. It is a companion product with Autodesk® Land Desktop 2008 and LDT 2007 that runs inside Autodesk Land Desktop and is fully integrated with the Autodesk Land Desktop project environment. (Note for LDT users: If you have LDT 2004-2006, you need CSD 3, if you have LDT 3, you need CSD 2). If you are using CSD R3 or R2, or just want to know more about CSD R4, check out the improvement list for Carlson Survey Desktop R4.

CSD interfaces with all popular data collectors for download/upload, it edits and adjusts field data, including SurvNET -- our Network Least Squares program -- and it supports advanced Field-to-Finish. Additional features include deed enter and reporting, cut sheets, area adjustments and reports, polyline tools and streamlined COGO. CSD works seamlessly with our data collection packages of Carlson SurvCE and CG. It is an ideal product for use by Autodesk Land Desktop users looking for more efficient and broad survey functionality.
