Good Morning Civil 3D Users. The Autodesk Civil 3D 2019.2 Update has hit the street. Did anyone notice that the Civil 3D dev group seems to prefer to release Civil 3D Winter Updates right before the anniversary of the Day of Infamy for some reason.

Don’ ya know that the funny thing about all Standards is they do change. Hopefully, the change is an improvement for the better. These changes should mean we can get more work out the door with less effort. Ok. Sometimes it seems that the Loki, the Norse god of trickery, calls the standards shots.
