12/3/2025

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.
