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.

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…

Does it help us to explore the end of things to discover a path to a better beginning?
Questions like this are worth consideration in the circular and iterative process world of Autodesk Civil 3D.
In this Book of Alignments series of posts, we talk about the Alignment as a Design Control Manager in Autodesk Civil 3D. There are at least a dozen management…

Another one of the truly maddening terms in Autodesk Civil 3D is that Reference word. Maybe Reference is not quite as confusing in Civil 3D as the word Point. But Reference appears to come close. We have External References, Data References, file references, and even Reference Templates. I could go on.
For reasons that may…
