TBC vs. CAD for drawing plats

Would appreciate your input on this.  Right now when I do a survey of any type, I bring my points into TBC, make any adjustments or corrections, and then when I know the points are the way I want them, I move them over to AutoCAD Civil3D as a point file group for drawing my plat.  The problem is that CAD has way more fuctionality than I need for a simple line drawing and I spend a lot of time messing around trying to find correct commands. Someone suggested I use TBC for the plat, but I can only find some very basic commands, and I do need stuff like hatching, shading, and robust text.  Does TBC have all that stuff and I am just missing it?

  • I have not done a whole lot of drafting in TBC but I have found this youtube channel to be pretty helpful.  I did see a short video on fonts.  I will see if I can find out more about its drafting capabilities.  https://www.youtube.com/user/TBCSurvey
