Covadis

This document summarizes the functionality of the version 2000 - 5 of COVADIS

for Windows developed by Géomédia.

COVADIS is a software that functions with AUTOCAD. It offers a lot of possibilities, especially in the
domain of land survey and the roads network. It perfectly integrates to the interface of AUTOCAD
and allows:

To do the topographic calculations (details, leveling, intersection, progress, radiance…);

To insert and to draw seedlings of topographic points;

To draw the curves of level on the basis of a land model generated by the software itself;

To make a map with a pre-defined scale;

To generate longitudinal profiles and cross section;

To make cubature;

In the domain of the topography, it creates a high resolution of the diagrams (curves of level,
polygon, profiles,…) in 2 or 3D. These diagrams can be visualized to the screen or printed.

The software has a rich library of symbols, of police, of preview of the drawing and online help to
which one can make call.

Thanks an easy guide to understand COVADIS is put at the availability of the user of

The option to create some plans to part of X coordinates, THERE and Z. from

the seedling of points creates thus, he can generate different profiles

according to definite axes. The prerecorded default parameters permit to get

the plan, profile,… from data. The user can be content with the default

options. He/it stays however the possibility to personalize which of these

options.

COVADIS possesses other feature permitting of:

- to read or to publish some X coordinates, THERE and Z;

- to give an automatic scale to a plan;

- to put in page the plans and realized profiles;

- to make topographic calculations (polygonal progress, points radiated,

intersection, triangulation,…);

- to read or to export the notebook of survey with a total station notably"

SOKKIA, NIKON, LEICA,… ";

- to digitize;

- to conceive and to proportion networks of V.R.D;

- Etc.

All orders of COVADIS execute themselves either to the keyboard, either with

the mouse.

The present document summarizes for information only as guide, the concepts and

the manipulation of basis that interest the topographer or geometer. It is

about notably of:

- Insertion and drawing of topographic point seedlings on the basis of a TN

file;

- To draw curves of level;

- Drawing of the objects of land (limits of fences, slope,…) and dressing of

the plan;

- Drawing of the profiles in long of the natural land and the project.
