Professional surveyors commonly use dedicated field data collection software, survey-focused CAD platforms, and network adjustment tools. MicroSurvey provides this complete workflow through FieldGenius for field data capture, MicroSurvey CAD for drafting and calculations, and STAR*NET for precise least-squares adjustment.
Yes. MicroSurvey software is designed to work with a wide range of GNSS receivers, robotic total stations, and conventional survey instruments. This compatibility allows survey crews to integrate existing hardware into a consistent field-to-office workflow.
MicroSurvey CAD includes surveying-specific drafting, calculations, and coordinate geometry tools that many surveyors require for daily work. While AutoCAD may still be used in some engineering environments, MicroSurvey CAD is purpose-built for surveying tasks and often reduces the need for additional CAD software.
FieldGenius is designed specifically for field use, providing intuitive data collection, stakeout routines, and real-time coordinate management. It supports GNSS and total station workflows and is optimized for efficient operation in real survey conditions.
STAR*NET is widely used for least-squares network adjustment, error analysis, and survey control verification. It helps ensure measurement consistency and provides confidence in final coordinate accuracy for engineering and legal survey work.
Standard packages typically include core surveying functionality required for everyday work, while higher-tier versions add advanced tools, automation, and expanded processing capabilities. Software can usually be upgraded as project requirements grow.
MicroSurvey software is designed with intuitive workflows and clear interfaces to reduce training time. Learning resources, tutorials, and practical guidance help new users become productive quickly in both field and office environments.
Selection depends on whether you need field data collection, CAD drafting, network adjustment, or a complete workflow. Many professionals combine FieldGenius, MicroSurvey CAD, and STAR*NET to create an efficient end-to-end surveying solution.

From field data collection to accurate final deliverables
MicroSurvey software connects field data collection with office processing in a single, efficient workflow. FieldGenius enables fast and accurate data capture using GNSS receivers and total stations, simplifying staking, measurements, and linework in the field.
Collected data transfers directly into MicroSurvey CAD (MSCAD), where it’s processed, drafted, and prepared for deliverables without unnecessary conversion or delays. For projects requiring higher precision, STAR*NET provides network adjustment and validation to ensure reliable results.
This integrated workflow supports surveying, construction layout, engineering, and mapping applications, helping teams reduce errors, improve efficiency, and maintain consistent accuracy from field to finish.
