I originally wrote this article for AU Quarterly but thought it only appropriate to share:
Most of us learn to draw first and ask questions later. Once we have mastered AutoCAD® techniques, then we pay attention to drawing organization. This task is much more difficult in AutoCAD Civil 3D® becaus... Comment - Like

Generally speaking, this is a source of confusion in Civil 3D: What’s the difference between fixed elements, floating elements, and free elements?
“Fixed” elements:
Elements of an alignment/profile object (tangent segment, curve segment, or spiral segment) that have no dependency on any oth... Comment - Like

As many of you know, James Wedding and I are busy writing Mastering Civil 3D 2011. I’m having a good night of writing, but once in a while I think you need to sit back – and gripe. I’ve been in a lot of drawings lately, and I need to have a word with you.

Civil 3D 2011 ships with two undocumented commands exposed – AECCIMPORTSTYLES and AECCIMPORTSTYLESANDSETTINGS. Each of the commands can only be found on the command line, which means they can be scripted easily, but they don’t have an interface.

If you’re doing linework in the field, you don’t need to shoot PC’s, PT’s, and a point on a curve. Shoot two points on line (anywhere along each tangent) to establish direction, and shoot a single point on curve. Civil 3D will figure out the rest, and accurately draw the cu... Comment - Like
