What is Topocad?
Topocad is a CAD application for survey, calculation, design and mapping. It is used in a 3D or 2D graphic mode while working on drawings or in other graphic windows. Some documents are in text mode, e.g. roadline, road profile, camber diagram etc...
Use the survey data document to import survey data from instruments and to calculate coordinates in the drawing.
Create terrain models from the drawing and calculate them from contour lines. Import road lines in civil planning and calculate sections and offset to these. The complete CAD makes it possible to edit polylines, rotate, scale, move and copy these.
Topocad is module based and the other modules are, for example, net adjustment, volume and tunnel calculation, sectioning, profile forms, drawing template, database adapters (ISM, ArcGIS and FDO), railway module etc...
There are different menus in Topocad depending on which type of document that is active. When you start Topocad and has an internet connection, a website with news from the Topocad team will be shown. This is the info page. To make a new document press Ctrl + N and pick out a document, a drawing is a good place to start.
