Below is a link to the first of four different whitepapers on the current state of land surveying technology, and how CDIS (first published in Professional Surveyor several years ago) will replace CAD as the core engine for surveying in the future. Previously only SiteComp (Land Innovation) adopted CDIS, but its user interfaces, graphic output, and tagged intelligence did not take full advantage of it's potential.
The link to the whitepaper is:

Future whitepapers on land development design, civil engineering, and presentations will be available soon. The technology is available for land surveying applications is available now. For civil engineering, not until 2017.
