Autodesk University 2025 in Nashville, TN officially kicks off today. Out here in Civil 3D Land we should pay close attention whether we attend the Really Big Show live or employ a free Digital Pass this week. The Digital Pass will get us access to the Main Stage presentations, some other goodies, and the magic of AU-Online after the event.
In Civil 3D Land it’s AU Update Time once again.
