Editing Surveying (section)

===Software===
Land surveyors, construction professionals, geomatics engineers and civil engineers using [[total station]], [[GPS]], 3D scanners, and other collector data use land surveying software to increase efficiency, accuracy, and productivity. Land Surveying Software is a staple of contemporary land surveying.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/4843/|title=View DigitalGlobe Imagery Solutions @ Geospatial Forum|date=4 June 2010}}</ref>

Typically, much if not all of the [[Technical drawing|drafting]] and some of the [[design]]ing for [[Site plan|plans]] and [[plat]]s of the surveyed property is done by the surveyor, and nearly everyone working in the area of drafting today (2021) utilizes [[Computer-aided design|CAD]] software and hardware both on PC, and more and more in newer generation data collectors in the field as well.<ref>{{cite web |title=CAD for Surveying |url=https://tutorgram.net/cad-for-surveying-2/ |website=Tutorgram |access-date=September 9, 2020}}</ref> Other computer platforms and tools commonly used today by surveyors are offered online by the [[U.S. Federal Government]] and other governments' survey agencies, such as the [[National Geodetic Survey]] and the [[Continuously Operating Reference Station|CORS]] network, to get automated corrections and conversions for collected [[Real-time kinematic|GPS]] data, and the data [[Spatial reference system|coordinate systems]] themselves.
