Try posting your question at the Civil 3D forum here:

You can also do a search of the forum.  I suggest using the words "field book".

Either you have an existing database or you don't.  Why wouldn't you know that?]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 19:08:01 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5915&PID=15381&title=import-fbk-file-help#15381 <![CDATA[import .fbk file help : SURE DID...FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5915&PID=15376&title=import-fbk-file-help#15376 Author: cadman33619

SURE DID...FOLLOWED STEP BY STEP BUT THEN I GET TO THE STEP WHERE I HAVE TO EITHER CHOOSE AN EXISTING DATABASE OR CREATE A NEW DATABASE...AND SINCE I DONT HAVE AN EXISTING DATABASE (AT LEASTE I DONT THINK I DO) I HAVE TO CREATE ONE. BUT WHEN I TRY TO SPECIFY A NAME FOR THE FOLDER IT GIVES ME THAT ERROR MESSAGE.

Did you follow the instructions in your User's Guide for importing a field book file?  There's even a tutorial exercise named "Importing Field Coded Survey Data".]]> Wed, 18 May 2011 17:08:04 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5915&PID=15372&title=import-fbk-file-help#15372 <![CDATA[import .fbk file help : Hi, i&#039;m trying to learn...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5915&PID=15368&title=import-fbk-file-help#15368 Author: cadman33619

Hi,
 
i'm trying to learn how to import a field book file (.fbk)...i keep running into roadblocks. i have the .fbk file saved on my desktop. using the IMPORT SURVEY DATA - SPECIFY DATABASE option, i have no existing database shown and when i try to "create new survey database " and enter a name of a folder i get "the survey database does not exists and could not be created"
 
can someone explain how to get the .fbk file into autocad?
 
using civil 3d 2011
 
thanks
