Four steps from opening AutoCAD to having what you need.
Install the plugin, pick an area, choose what you need and get your results back into your drawing.
Install and sign in
The AdaptiveSDS ribbon appears in AutoCAD. Sign in with your AdaptiveSDS account.
Select your area
Pick it on the map view, or use a closed polyline already in your drawing.
Choose what you need
Order a desktop utilities search, charged on the spot, or instruct a survey.
Get your results
Utilities searches appear under the Requests button and turn green when ready. Download the data with the accompanying report, or load it straight into your drawing.
Desktop utilities search
The price is worked out from the area you select, so you see it before you commit. This is a desktop utilities search to PAS 128 (Type D).
- Price shown before you approve
- Confirmation email when you order
- The Requests button lists all your orders
Instruct a survey
Choose from topographic, utilities (PAS 128), measured building or CCTV surveys, and add anything relevant about the project. The Adaptive Surveys team will review your request and get in touch to talk through the details.
- Set survey types, so nothing is missed
- A quote within 48 hours
See it in action.
Two short demos: one for the desktop utilities search, one for the survey request.
Desktop utilities search
From drawing the area to downloading the data.
Survey request
From drawing the boundary to submitting the request.
Seven steps become four.
Requesting a survey used to mean screenshots, Paint and a long email. Now it is one polygon.
