Engineering Survey 2Survey and Civil Engineering Software and Computer Aided DraftingIntroductionSurvey and Civil Engineering Software are modern technologies which help in the process of assessing a 3D landscape to determine the distances and angles between a series of points. Determining the positioning of this points is usually applied in the establishment of boundaries and maps for construction structures and other subterranean civic projects[CITATION Hal16 \p 183 \l 2057 ].Computer Aided Drafting refers to the technology for designing and documentation of technical drawings which substituted manual drafting with an automated process. CAD is greatly assisting the Engineering Survey industry to increase competitiveness through enabling design and research work to be processed into final products at a lower cost and with higher qualities. By mechanising the tedious work of reproducing objects, CAD set free designers so that they can use more time during the design process. Profitability and Productivity ratios within engineering survey companies that utilize CAD over traditional drafting methods has been approximated to be 20:1.The Computer Aided Drafting is based onusage of computers in order to display the graphic images. The displayed images are based onthe mathematical coordinates which exist in the computer as the digital electronic data and can be 2D or 3D forms. By use of input devices such as digital tablets and mouse, Computer Aided Drafting allows for translation, replication, rotation, transformation and scaling of graphical images[CITATION And162 \p 211 \l 2057 ].

Engineering Survey 3Civil engineering softwares includes a wide range of tool to assist civil engineers during both the design phase and construction process. The softwares can help at every stage of the engineering project which includes, drafting, documenting, visualizing, designing and analysing.Personnel involved and end-usersThe personnel who usually use Survey and Civil Engineering Software and Computer Aided Drafting include: the land surveyors who usually uses the software for mapping. Architects uses the CAD softwares for visualizing their designs before the actual construction phase.Thequantity surveyors uses the softwares for carrying out the estimation of the cost for civic projects. Civil engineers use the engineering survey softwares to analysis the structural integrity of their civil engineering projects before they are implemented[CITATION Kar141 \p 132 \l 2057 ]. The end user of the survey and engineering softwares include the contractors and construction managers who are given the final drawings to implement. CAD design is used in almost all industries, in projects as wide –ranging as bridge construction, landscape design, movie amination and architectural design and construction. Most of the parties who are involved in the actual implementation of the projects such as builders and constriction managers have found it to be very easy at the final end of implementation of the projects. Setting out the foundations of the projects is very espy with the use of the Engineering and surveying softwares.How softwares and AutoCAD are used in surveyingStarting with Auto and other data collection softwares in the 1980s and remaining up to the current time with geographical Information System and Global positioning system, there has been great developments[CITATION Geo11 \p 65 \l 2057 ].
