Whether or not we choose to employ Styleless Data References in our Civil 3Dprojects is a business decision that deserves some careful consideration. There are Civil 3D technical, stability, and project performance reasons to take the time to do so.

For the most part the NoStyles workflow mechanics are mindlessly simple to execute. In the context of most…

We previously discussed the challenges that surround the formal data Dependencies that play an integral role our daily production work inside Autodesk Civil 3D. It is safe to say that we learn to manage Dependencies, or the Dependencies control us.

Put another way – we employ Civil 3D to produce managed projects of data references and those…

Sometimes a broken Reference problem in Civil 3D will stare us right in the face and we still miss and/or cannot find and/or see the reason why. Been there. Done that. Got my T shirt. How can this be? Out here in Civil 3D Land every day we use this vital and basic file Reference stuff like our lives depend on it.

If you tell me that the…

Thankfully, Autodesk has been working hard on improved Civil 3D performance. How we structure our Civil 3D Projects and how we perform some basic Civil 3D Project maintenance work can matter.
