In this exercise, you will look at the project directory structure with Windows Explorer.
Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the Land Projects folder.
Expand the Land Projects 2007 folder to view the separate project folders.
Expand the Project_1 folder to view the separate folders that store different types of project data.
All point data is contained in the cogo folder, including Microsoftâ database (.mdb) files for point groups, description keys, and user-defined external data references.
The dwg folder contains the drawing files associated with the project and the .dfm files (which are ASCII text files that contain default drawing settings).
The survey folder is where raw files downloaded from data collectors are stored, as well as field book, observation database, and traverse adjustment files. This folder is empty until you use the surveying tools to populate the folder with these files.
Additional folders are automatically created when you use AutoCAD Land Desktop to work with surfaces (dtm), alignments (align), parcels (lots), and volumes (er).
Additional folders are automatically created when you use the civil engineering tools to work with pipes (pipewks), hydrology (hd), and sheet manager (cd).
This concludes the project creation lesson. In the next lesson, you'll learn about changing the project settings.
