MBS Survey Software Ltd

MBS Tools

The original ethos of MBS Software was to produce an efficient on-site data capture system.  This ethos has developed and we are now striving for a system that can be employed throughout the whole measured survey process - from on-site measurement to finished CAD drawing.

MBS Tools has been written in order to address the CAD issues back in the office, after all the data has been captured on site.  The tools have been written within AutoCAD's VBA programming language, with all versions of AutoCAD supported from the current version back to AutoCAD 2002. All of the AutoCAD family products are supported including Architectural Desktop, Mechanical Desktop, Civil 3D, Building Systems and AutoCAD Electrical.

The tools offers several routines to assist the surveyor in the repetitive "Michelangelo" tasks associated with MBS DXF files - mainly the trimming of door and window blocks.

MBS Doors & MBS Windows are just two of the routines available - They both allow automatic trimming and positioning of the respective blocks as one AutoCAD command.  It is not uncommon for floor plans to have in excess of 100 doors and 150 windows - manual trimming is a laborious, time consuming exercise at the best of times.  MBS Tools offer huge office time savings.

There are several more routines that come bundled as part of the suite, with new routines being constantly added, based on User demand. The suite is only available and supported for AutoCAD products and requires MBS Training.  Full blown AutoCAD is also required.
