We all want to talk about better automated Plan and Profile deliverables from inside AutoCAD Civil 3D. Heck. No, we don’t. Talk is cheap. We need the stinkin’ Labels to work for us not ag’in us. To win the war we have a lot to consider. Our old tactics may not cut it.
“This can’t be happing, man. This can’t be happening!”
Sure the Civil 3D Plan Production tools can create…

People ask,
“If AutoCAD Civil 3D is so dynamic, why isn’t there a way to connect Alignments to Points?”
Good question.One pat answer is:

I had a government customer send me some sample survey data. They wanted some customized Production Solution product. Along the way I asked him if he used the Figure Prefix Db functionality in Survey in AutoCAD Civil 3D.
“We don’t need that. It’s a waste of time for us.”
Really?
Their simple municipal roadway data produced…

This merry month I performed a rash of training and support for AutoCAD Civil 3D Survey and Surface creation. A recurring theme seems to be
“I know how to do this, but Civil 3D doesn’t do what I expect it to do.”
This wouldn’t be all that weird if the users were new to Civil 3D. We all know by now that AutoCAD Civil 3D isn’t your daddy’s CAD software.
In most cases…
