Series A - Data Exchange Scripts
Series A - Data Exchange Scripts
Purpose
Series A scripts manage survey data exchange between external point data formats, existing drawing objects, traverse files, and the Civil 3D drawing environment.
Scripts
| Script | Purpose | Dedicated Note |
|---|---|---|
| A1a | Plot field data from point data files as styled Civil 3D objects. | A1a_Plot_Survey_Data_From_Point_Data_File |
| A1b | Convert existing drawing objects into styled Civil 3D objects and rectify previously plotted data. | A1b_Plot_Survey_Data_From_Drawing_Selection |
| A2 | Import traverse data from PT2 files and plot a traverse diagram. | A2_Plot_Traverse_Diagram_From_File |
| A3 | Export survey data from the current drawing into point data files. | A3_Export_Survey_Data_To_Point_Data_File |
| A4 | Extract survey data from legacy DGN-derived drawings attached as XREFs. | A4_Migrate_Survey_Data_From_Legacy_Drawing |

Reverse-Engineering Notes
For Series A reverse-engineering, distinguish between:
- file ingestion workflows;
- drawing-selection workflows;
- export workflows;
- legacy migration workflows;
- traverse-specific workflows.
Do not assume that all Series A scripts share the same source data model or geometric assumptions.
