Inside the Corridor Feature we Autodesk Civil 3D users get better horizontal, vertical, and cross section control,  better design round trips, more design control options, better project-based quality control, and more forms of data output. This significant list of production benefits makes the small amount of extra work that is required to employ a Corridor to create our civil…

The new DMDA will: test and validate all the wonky file and numerous, and notoriously, obscure…
