Yeah, too steep for me. I use AutoCadLT subscription model Most developers will give us cad files of the power design. We hopefully can get in the same ditch and just use their drawing.
If you want to integrate drawings, then there is the whole landbase issue that I have not yet solved. Like everything to be in GIS but have not wanted to endure the learning curve. I can throw an Google Earth image behind an AutoCad drawing and trace up the streets etc in very little time and it is accurate enough to get the permits.

I've been using Google Earth. On Saturday, March 9, 2019, Chris Fabien <ch...@lakenetmi.com> wrote: We do essentially the same using MapInfo Professional. I'm not sure it's the best software but it gets the job done. Some permit agencies require using a locatable method to cross the road. Meaning yes you need a drill and cant use a missile or compaction boring setup. Worth asking though.

I'm assuming if I design a plant layout on a napkin I need professional plans showing ROW location, proposed cable location, depth, streets, etc then you take that to the local building department and pull a permit? For rural plowing, do I need a drill to cross side streets and driveways or an I get away with a pneumatic missile ? -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
