Work · October 21 – 22, 2026

Two days in their drawings.

Five requests at Hunter Engineering, done in their own project drawings.

01 · Roadway · October 22, 2026

3,038 roadway objects moved onto the alignment, by station.

Line this roadway linework up with the centerline alignment using the station text.

moved as one piece, no scaling

FIG. 1 · ROADWAY ALIGNMENT · 3 MIN

Every tick read back on its station · the alignment and the topo xref untouched · locked layer re-locked

What it left for the engineer

Handed back unsaved; the move was by script, so undo is AutoCAD's or the checkpoint's.

02 · Grading · October 22, 2026

Five cross-drive feature lines, graded and labeled like the other drives.

Add cross-drive feature lines with the cross slope called out, and lines along the landscape island, like the other drives.

Civil engineer

Plan of the west drive: five new feature lines cross from the back of the parking row to the west flowline, two of them at the landscape island, each labeled with its grade3.78%3.13%3.36%2.90%3.24%2.84%2.67%2.53%2.05%2.22%LANDSCAPE ISLANDWEST FLOWLINEDRIVE EDGEBACK OF PARKING ROWEXISTING FEATURE LINES

Elevations taken from the existing lines at each crossing · the three lines they touch read back unchanged

What it left for the engineer

Two labels sit over the pavement arrows; unsaved.

03 · Sheets · October 22, 2026

17 utility sheets cut, numbered and titled in the Sheet Set Manager.

Match the sheet layouts to the viewports in the annotation drawing, then link the sheet numbers to the Sheet Set Manager.

FIG. 3 · UTILITY SHEET SET · 9 MIN

Title blocks and match lines read back after the save · renumber a sheet and they follow

What it left for the engineer

Nothing was plotted, by the engineer's rule; a later renumbering was partly done by hand.

04 · Survey · October 21, 2026

A recorded plat drawn as closed lot boundaries with true arcs.

Draw the linework from the recorded plat, starting at the north quarter corner.

What it left for the engineer

Record bearings only, not rotated to grid; not a survey certification; unsaved.

05 · Site · October 22, 2026

A PDF markup read, then the trash enclosure moved and the curb rebuilt.

Read the PDF markup. Move the trash enclosure, add a sidewalk from the building, and rebuild the curb as shown.

Civil engineer

Plan of the drive corner: the 30 ft curb return removed, a curb pocket with 3.5, 5 and 4 ft radii built around the moved trash enclosure, and a 5 ft walk from the building east face along the back of curb to the enclosureEXISTING CURBEXISTING DRIVE CURBR=30' RETURN REMOVEDR=3.5'R=5'R=4'TRASH ENCLOSUREEXISTING BLOCK, MOVED5' WALKFROM THE BUILDING EAST FACEBUILDING

Position, rotation and layers read back · the PDF's north was flipped, and it said so first

What it left for the engineer

No ramps or striping where the walk crosses the drive, since the markup showed none; unsaved.

Also, those two days
  • Survey

    Fifty survey point elevations put onto the surveyor's feature line.

  • Annotation

    Ninety text-and-leader notes converted to native multileaders, live fields kept.

  • Utilities

    Fire-line quantity lists updated from the current callouts, table format kept.

Requests are paraphrased and projects are left out. Numbers come from each run's own report; drawings are schematics from the run's coordinates.

See it work on a real drawing.

Bring a drawing if you'd like. We're happy to run it on any of your DWGs. If not, we'll bring ours.
