Just curious, what new features of 2007 make you want to run this in the
civil/survey world...?

I am currently running 2004. We currently have 2006. I believe we are on
subscription. I had opted not to upgrade to 2006 because I have been too
busy with projects to revamp my setup. One team member has been using 2006
and there are definately things that are attractive there, but we better all
get on the same version. Since 2007 is pending release, I thought that I
may upgrade to that rather than upgrade twice or be "behind" again. I do
realize there is not much to offer civil/survey in 2006 to 2007 (mostly 3d
modeling stuff).

Um...whew...I guess the shorter answer is: to be on the latest version for
compatibility and cumulative features since 2004.

ours is the same as yours.

running 2004 and have skipped upgrading until now and I think we will
install 07.

From what I hear, SurvCADD is going on the wayside of Civil 2007. I was
wondering if they even plan on supporting Acad'07. I have Acad06 and
Acad07 on my computer and after bringing in my profile / menu bars it gave
me a error trying to load SurvCADD and the menus did'nt work. I could
load different modules but not use them.

Lisp/DCL should work OK, but all compiled ARX/DLL code will not work in
2007.

From what I understand is SurvCADD 2006 is the end of the line. Carlson

Civil 2007 will be the new Civil/Survey software. They just haven't
finalized what features/modules are going to be included in which package.

From the one page add it looks like COGO/DTM/Profile will be rolled
into one with major programing reworks to get the different design
elements to update each other in near/real time.

Bottom line is this is Carlson's answer to Autodesk's Civil 3D.
