There are a couple of basic videos that are now public on the Traverse Editor and Traverse Adjustment tools in Productivity Pack 3 for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016. In a previous post on the new PP3, I mentioned this. Got to keep promises. These videos are also included on our Civil Training on the Web pages.

Thanks to the good folks at FDOT (State of Florida Dept of Transportation) CADD support, Florida taxpayers, and Autodesk for making the Civil 3D training videos available to all.

Traverse Tool Notes
The new Traverse Editor tool replaces the existing COGO Editor in the Survey Ribbon but must be started from the Toolbox. Ribbon replacement is not performed by the PP3 install.
This older post contains significant reminders about the Civil 3D interface for this type of tool which actually builds data outside of Civil 3D. Autodesk references to the word canvas in a tool are always a clue. A quick read may save you more than a few headaches. Remember to start an external file.

The videos are part of an 11 video YouTube playlist available here. This Autodesk General playlist from the recent FDOT 2016 Design Expo contains other Civil 3D video training content you will also find useful. Most of these were done by Jeff Bartels of Autodesk. The videos are fast and substantive.

Speaking of Civil 3D Templates and Civil 3D Styles, why be silly and start from Autodesk’s supplied example templates? You can do way better than that. Try Templates Only and discover
