Carlson Survey
Carlson Survey is a Windows software application for the Surveyor’s office to manage the complete job cycle from field data collection to drafting a final plan with several CAD options. With minimum effort and time, Carlson Survey allows users to design and produce a 2D drawing, an enhanced 3D surface model and construction layout data sets, for increasing their efficiency and profitability.
Add this Carlson Survey to your AutoCAD or use the included IntelliCAD engine!

Carlson 2013-2015* with IntelliCAD 7.2
*Starting with 2013 build 130120 - Intel® Pentium® 4 or comparable (minimum), Intel i7 or at least Intel i5 or comparable (recommended)
- Due to the variety of processors on the market, one can use cpubenchmark.net/cpu_list.php to do comparative analysis
- While the overall processor score matters, the single thread performance is of the most interest
- 32-bit Windows 7-8.1: 1 gigabyte (GB) of RAM minimum for, 4 GB recommended
- 64-bit Windows 7-8.1: 2 GB of RAM minimum for, 8+ GB recommended
- Windows Vista: 1 GB of RAM minimum, 4 GB recommended
- Windows XP: 512 megabytes (MB) of RAM minimum, 2 GB recommended
- Graphics card compatible with OpenGL Version 1.4 or higher:
Recommended are desktop graphics level discrete (not integrated cards like Intel HD) graphics cards
- Preferably Nvidia Geforce due to their more consistent driver support
- Discrete ATI/AMD cards will be adequate, but ATI’s driver support has been spotty and user is frequently deferred to the computer manufacturer for support
- Professional Nvidia Quadro cards are not currently recommended due to driver issues
- Powerful gaming cards are not required and probably would not provide as much benefit as investment in more memory or better CPU
