Trimble Link for Autodesk Civil 3D 15.0

Trimble Link for Autodesk Civil 3D is an add-in that connects field survey workflows to Civil 3D, enabling direct, reliable transfer of data between Trimble data collectors/instruments and your Civil 3D projects. It streamlines field‑to‑finish by importing points, observations, and coded linework into the Survey Database and exporting design data back to the field—without tedious file conversions.

Key capabilities:

• Direct access to survey jobs on connected controllers through the Trimble Link Engine
• Import of common Trimble job formats (e.g., JobXML/JXL, DC), honoring feature codes to create points, linework, and attributes automatically
• Creation of surfaces from imported data and integration with Civil 3D’s Survey Database
• Export of points, alignments, surfaces, and other design data in formats supported by Trimble field software for stakeout and verification
• Alignment with Civil 3D coordinate systems and units to maintain positional accuracy
• Supports typical workflows such as topographic mapping, as‑builts, and construction staking

Notes:

• Requires Autodesk Civil 3D (specific version compatibility applies) and the Trimble Link Engine
• Windows-only environment
• Availability, supported formats, and version support may vary by release

Benefits:

• Reduces manual conversions and data re-entry
• Preserves metadata and coding from the field
• Speeds up QA and improves consistency across field and office teams
