Old school AutoCAD Design layout with polylines, line, and arcs is not only tedious it is far less flexible than the well-developed intermediate and advanced skills for Alignments and their important children in Civil 3D.
This is the best short video I've seen in a long while than makes this excellent point about Civil 3D functionality that often gets lost to our old work habits. Thanks Jim. You made my day.

We do have to practice at these Civil 3D create and edit skills to get good at them. Grips skill and other edit skills do not come by seeing but by doing.
The positive results will be more design optionality and new and improved design heuristics.
