SmartDraft^® Survey is a subset of SmartDraft Suite, which focuses on surveyors and mapping professionals. Survey provides tools to label and modify labels of lines and curves with bearings, distances, deltas, radii, tangents, etc. Tools to place and label points, create closure reports, and write legal descriptions from polylines or parcels are also included, as well as tools for planview layout.

SmartDraft provides dynamic labels to give the operator a truer AutoCAD Civil 3D experience. Starting with SmartDraft 20.0.13 dynamic labels work with BricsCAD v21 Pro surfaces, and alignments. Starting with SmartDraft 23.1.0 added support for v24 Pro Civil points.

SmartDraft supports label
