"complex feature survey" one of the things not mentioned is the import from your total station data recorder, this way all line work is strung automatically, points set contourable or not, blocks inserted on those points and breaklines say by layer naming can be set.
Do you have access to the field data, which total station ? There should be people here who can provide a CIV3D dwt set up for you to match your total station.
Something I have and Autodesk did not do it is Import Description Keys, from Excel. You can export but not import.
