Extreme Object Snaps in Civil 3D
Extreme Object Snaps in Civil 3D

Jerry. Thanks for the many useful Object Snap (OSNAP) reminders in here that help us all work smarter not harder.
You can bet you probably don't remember and/or employ all of the many AutoCAD OSNAP and other location tool tricks covered here.
"I didn't know AutoCAD could do that?" You will learn new things.
You got to love drag and drop script (.scr) files to standardize the many potential Settings you need to set for what task you have to do now.
Funny, I deleted the Scripts folder from the default Framework's InstantOn Desktop resources. I got tired of explaining to users why and what it was there for.
Oh, bother. Maybe the Scripts folder should make a comeback? Ok. It is just as easy to add Places into the Windows Open File box.
The Traverse Editor Tool in Civil 3D
5/8/2020
Scott Kraner PE, a Application Expert for IMAGINiT, walks through how to build and edit a traverse in the Civil 3D Traverse Editor tool.
This is a basic instructive tutorial. There is a separate follow up video on the Traverse Adjustment Tool functionality.

Scott explains the details of the Traverse Editor pretty well. He covers the most important entry methods well for a once over.
An important reminder and word of caution...
You want to immediately Save the travese file as soon as you establish a POB and can do so.
In the Traverse Editor we are working memory in Civil 3D and not really in a drawing. The actual data relies on the file we save. Save often.
You may also want to save separate files for audit purposes and a library of TRV files can be a useful project resource.
For some silly reason the Traverse Editor still only produces polyline output and no Civil 3D Features like Parcels, Alignments, or Figures.

Scott explains the details of the Traverse Adjustment Tool. He covers the most important settings and methods to change your Traverse Adjustment Tool preferences.
The Civil 3D help files do clarify the differences in the adjustment methods supported in adequate detail for most folks.
Obviously, where you save the traverse files, adjustment files, and reports will matter in your project workflow.
Yes. Civil 3D Survey does support 3D Least Squares adjustments but for reasons I trust are obvious not in this tool and context.
