PURPOSE: To greatly reduce surveying works at job site, to save labor for surveying works, and to enhance the accuracy after completion of a construction, by providing such an arrangement that instructions for measurement and collection of data of measured results can be made in an office at a job site so as to know a constructing condition. CONSTITUTION: A personal computer 4 connected with a measuring apparatus for simultaneously measuring a vertical angle, a horizontal angle and a distance, computes and records the data, and the measuring apparatus is composed of a measuring device having an automatic sighting function for automatically locating a light receiver in a certain range and finding the center thereof, and a point measured by the light receiver is indicated on a steel frame drawing given by a CAD 7 positioned in an office at a job site (the drawing prepared by another CAD is received by a DXF file 8). Further, a measuring work is automatically made by the measuring apparatus 1 having the measuring device, a drawing having coordinates obtained by actual measurement is depicted being superposed with an original drawing, thereby it is possible to check a condition of construction.
