Pipes Network Data to Excel
Pipes Network Data to Excel

Gil Cordie, from LJA, demos how to employ the Toolspace interface in Civil 3D to quickly copy Pipe Network data into Sheets in a Excel workbook.

KISS. Often the quick and dirty method is the best way.
By the way - the formating of the Toolspace shown here isn't actually necessary to copy and export the data into a Sheet in Excel.
Probably the most important thing to recognize is that almost all of the AutoCAD and Civil 3D spreadsheet like dialog boxes produce data the easily drops into Excel.
That doesn't mean we should forget and/or neglect to format the Excel column properties in the Sheets appropriately.

Nuanced Edits with Grips
Nuanced Edits with Grips
12/3/2025
An Ascent trainer delivers a quick review of the basics of the Grip Edit interface in AutoCAD, Map, and Civil 3D.
Learning to employ the noun/verb syntax of Grips effectively in production only takes a few minutes a day of regular practice. No practice - few benefits.

Sadly, the instructor misses the most important nuances of Selection with the Shift to Add option and Grip edits. Turn Shift to Add on.
This allows us to focus our selections quicker and with more specifics.
How else could we select multiple things to Copy or More and/or employ multiple grips to make specific edits?
Practice with multiple types of AutoCAD primitives and the many Civil 3D Features is the only way to acquire production level skills.
