Many, if not most, of our Civil 3D Projects will involve multiple forms of Reference Replacement. Many of us employ the classic External References (XREF) basemap strategy in our plan set publication.
There are two common scenarios here. The Survey dept must update the existing annotation for the proposed project’s Parcel map. Survey can…

Autodesk continues to improve and change Civil 3D behaviors from one Civil 3D Update to another and from one Civil 3D Release Upgrade to another. Out here in Civil 3D Land we must learn to adapt to those changes or continue to perform our civil engineering and survey work in older versions of the software. Most folks tend to.
Are we proactive…

Our new Civil 3D Segment Label Expression Set that’s now available for multiple releases of Autodesk Civil 3D generated some uncommon interest and some questions for good reasons. Why not? Our Civil 3D projects that include Corridors for roadways and site grading design should not be a problematic hassle to Label and annotate.
Welcome to…

Automated Design Corridor annotation is a mission critical, learned skill and a vital workflow to master in Autodesk Civil 3D. A Civil 3D project-based approach is essential to produce better and faster deliverables from Complex Corridors in less time and with less effort.
Simple and repetitive Civil 3D user events can dramatically affect the amount of work…

Our recent explorations of a common Turn Lanes and Median Corridor design reveals that we have skills and best practices to learn to successfully annotate Complex Corridors in Autodesk Civil 3D.
Repetitive and simple Civil 3D user events dramatically affect the amount of work required and the quality and substance of the Civil 3D Corridor results we can…
