Finish Strong Friday: Utilizing Survey Monument GIS Data in Civil 3D

As many of you know, the Map 3D FDO tools for connecting to various GIS databases and file stores are very powerful and luckily-are included with Civil 3D.  Recently, I was talking with a customer about grabbing published survey monument data and bringing it into a Civil 3D project.  Based on this discussion, I thought this might be of interest to others who may not be completely familiar with the GIS tools available in Civil 3D/Map 3D; hence this post.

Check out the video below to see this in action.

HELP!!!!
I am lost in transformation! Trying to make some mods to a XSLT report for alignments and am banging my head against a wall when it comes to getting Latitude and Longitude out using LandXML Reports.

Here is the default report format:

Here is the code I have to pull the data:

And this is the result I am trying to acheive:

Hi Mark,
Since the geometry is stored and exported to the reporting engine as cartesian coordinates, there isn't any lat/long values to select. While I'm sure an XSLT function could be written and referenced to do the conversion, I think it would be fairly difficult (and something way over my head). However, you could piece this report together by using the create cogo point/at geometry points command to drop cogos on all the PIs, then using the Export Points command to send these into a CSV in Lat Long format. Sorry I can't help more.
