This information is for people trying the Digitally visualised survey plans prototype. This tool supported the feedback period from August to October 2024. The prototype is available for anyone who wishes to try it. 

Surveyors still need to complete plan generation and submit plans

Opening a package in the Survey Plan viewer

Instructions for how survey plan users (for example conveyancers, surveyors and their clients) can open a CSD or Title Components package.

Package contents

The CSD package contains: 

  • an interactive spatial view for Survey and Title diagrams
  • panel information
  • supporting documents.  

The Title Components package contains just the Title Plan information.

 

Open a package with a ZIP file

The downloaded CSD or Title Components package creates a ZIP file - see Creating a CSD package in New Landonline.

ZIP files can be: 

  • opened in the Survey Plan viewer
  • shared between parties related to the survey dataset - just like the current TIF files available from plan generation.

Download sample ZIP files.

Step 1. Access the viewer

Access the Landonline Survey Plan viewer in your web browser.

Step 2. Open the ZIP file in the viewer

Either drag and drop the ZIP file into the area with a dashed grey border or click browse to open a file location window, to locate and open it.

Once the file has been dragged into the box area or opened, the viewer will open and display the CSD data.

Open a package with a link

A package can also be shared with a Landonline user via a URL link specific to each package.

Step 1. Click the link provided

If the user is: 

  • logged into Landonline - the viewer will open
  • not logged into Landonline - the log in page will appear and after the user logs in the viewer will open.

Step 2. View and interact with the survey data in read-only mode

 

Download a copy

The viewer allows a user to download a ZIP file of the package. This ZIP file can then be shared with other people who do not have a Landonline licence, who are not enabled users or are not part of the same firm.

To download a copy, click on the 'Download a copy of this package' icon in the header of the viewer.

The ZIP file will be saved in your computer's 'Downloads' folder and can be shared with other users - see Open a package with a ZIP file.

 

Export to download or print

The viewer allows a user to print the spatial view.

Step 1. Click the 'Export PDF' icon in the header of the viewer

Share as a link

The viewer allows a user to copy and share a link to the package. This link can be shared with other people who have a Landonline licence and are enabled users or are part of the same firm as the dataset.

Note: Sharing is disabled for local files so the 'Share this package' button will be greyed out if you open the CSD package from a zip file. 

Screenshot of the CSD viewer top toolbar with the sharing icon disabled and the tool tip saying - Sharing is disabled for local files, instead you can send the CSD package zip file to the person you wish to share with..

Step 1. Click the 'Share this package' icon in the header of the viewer

A link will display below the icon with a 'Copy link' button.

Step 2. Click the 'Copy link' button 

The link can then be pasted into another application (for example, an email) to send to others.   

 

Export data as PDF

The viewer allows a user to export the data as a PDF.  

This PDF contains the header information including lists of the 'Comprised in' references and 'Created parcels'.

Step 1. Click the 'Export data as PDF' button

A Survey Data Report in PDF format will display in a browser tab and will include the following information, if applicable:

  • Created Parcels
  • Marks Vectors
  • Arcs.
