How many times in Autodesk Civil 3D do we get a complex civil engineering design or survey dataset right the first time? Almost never. This reality is a most important fact about Civil 3D. To employ Civil 3D constructively in a real-world project-based production environment, we need to plan to fail forward.
What the heck does that mean?Sounds like…

If we employ the software for a few releases, the familiar AutoCAD and Civil 3D interface mechanics become sensical. These days Autodesk is careful not to change the core daily mechanics too quickly. That tends to make Civil 3D end users unhappy. Autodesk…

Autodesk Civil 3D 2023 improves. It is no surprise the Framework for Civil 3D 2023.1 Products get better too. Upgrades to our Civil 3D production environments and our Civil 3D working projects should become easier as well.
A systems managed approach to the complexity of Autodesk…
