Make your move to AutoCAD
Civil 3D and help your team complete a wide range of civil
engineering projects faster, smarter, and more accurately.
By intelligently linking design and production drafting, the
industry-proven dynamic model at the core of Civil 3D allows
you to evaluate multiple design alternatives quickly,
minimise manual edits, and output updated plans
automatically.
Features:
- Automated Plans
Production
- Style-based annotation,
drafting and display Integrated project management tools
- Powerful dynamic model
- Based on AutoCAD
software
- Includes complete Survey
Functionality
- Includes all AutoCAD Map
3D functionality
- Based on AutoCAD
Software - AutoCAD Civil 3D software is based on
industry-leading AutoCAD 2008 software. Work in a
familiar graphical environment with drafting tools you
already know and plot project documentation and plan
sets with dependable accuracy and fidelity
- Plans Production -
Automatically layout and generate plan, plan and
profile, and profile only sheets with the new Plans
Production tools. Quickly and accurately generate all
the plan sets required to complete your project in a
timely manner by taking advantage of the powerful
style-based drafting and annotation tools included with
Civil 3D. The Plans Production tools ensure your
construction documents are always in synch with the
latest design changes
- Complete Survey
Functionality - Survey commands are cleanly integrated
into the Civil 3D toolset and user interface. Users have
a consistent environment for all tasks, ranging from
fieldbook import, least squares adjustment, and editing
of survey observations to management of point groups,
creation of surfaces and layout of parcels and
alignments.
- Project Management -
AutoCAD Civil 3D software adds multi-user project
support for core elements in the Civil 3D model so that
your project team can work more efficiently and with
less risk of coordination errors as modifications occur
in the project cycle. The project support in Civil 3D
software leverages the core data management capabilities
of Autodesk Vault functionality to provide the entire
project team access to the data they need to complete
their work.
- Styles - A unique style
system in AutoCAD Civil 3D software enables
organisations to define CAD and design standards that
can be easily used throughout the entire organisation.
Standards from the colour, line type, and increment of
contours, to the labelling that appears in a section or
profile band can be defined in a style that will then be
used throughout the design and production drafting
process.
- Data Management - The
project support in Civil 3D leverages the core data
management capabilities of Autodesk Vault software so
that the entire project team has access to the data that
they need to complete their work. It facilitates the
organisation of files, distribution of files over a
network, version control, check-in and check-out, and
rollbacks.
- Points - Create points
using a variety of coordinate geometry (COGO) and
graphical methods. AutoCAD Civil 3D software
incorporates points as part of the engineering model,
making them integral throughout the analysis and design
process.
- Surfaces - Build
surfaces from a variety of 3D source data. Analyse
contours, slope, elevation, and watershed areas, and
update contours, volumes, and surface analysis instantly
when making surface edits. AutoCAD Civil 3D software
updates surfaces when data is added or edited, and
rebuilds the surface when data is removed.
- Parcels - Dynamic
relationships mean that parcel collections are always
up-to-date. AutoCAD Civil 3D software integrates parcels
within a single topology, so a change to one parcel
creates related changes in neighbouring parcels.
- Alignments - The
alignment object includes tangent, curve, and spiral
elements and enables the addition of any labelling
required in the finished draft. Editing with a tabular
editor or graphical interface automatically updates the
alignment�s labelling. Share alignment and profile
data across drawings for use by multiple project team
members.
- Profiles - Extract
profiles of multiple surfaces based on alignment
geometry. Automatically create the profile appearance
and annotation based on the styles that you select.
Update profile labelling and drafting dynamically
- Corridor Modelling -
Generate a dynamic model of any road, rail, or corridor
project based on design elements, including alignments,
profiles, superelevation, and criteria included in
design subassemblies. Any change to any elements that
were used to create the model result in updated corridor
volumes, surfaces, sections, and other analysis and
output.
- Sections - Extract and
draft surface and corridor sections. Select sections at
specific stations, at intervals along alignments, or at
specific points, and create section plots for a single
station or full section sheets.
- Grading - Combine
multiple grading elements into one group to find
solutions for complex grading problems. Grade into
surface, elevation, distance, and adjacent grading
objects. Balance cut/fill volumes dynamically for an
entire site or a single grading object. Build a static
or dynamic surface from grading groups.
- Pipe Layout - Lay out
sanitary and storm drainage systems as dynamic,
interactive networks. Make changes to pipes and
structures using graphical as well as numerical input.
Plot and complete final drafting of the pipe network in
plan, profile, and section views, and share pipe network
information, such as material and size, with external
analysis applications.
- Pipe Drafting - Plot and
complete final drafting of the pipe network in plan,
profile, or section views. Data from the pipe network is
used in labels. Subsequent changes to the pipe network
automatically update the drafting.
- Visualisation - Take
advantage of integrated rendering and visualisation
tools to create powerful and visually pleasing
presentations of your designs. Whether its a quick 3D
view of a proposed design change, or a complete
rendering of the final design, use AutoCAD Civil 3D
software to quickly and accurate generate design
visualisation.
- Coordinate Geometry
(COGO) - Point creation and management tools, automated
linework and curve routines, and transparent commands
allow you to quickly and accurately create and manage
the coordinate geometry needed to complete and design
projects.
- AutoCAD Map 3D 2008
Foundation - Since AutoCAD Civil 3D software includes
all the powerful geospatial functionality found in
AutoCAD Map 3D software, you can create, edit, manage
and share geospatial data in a seamlessly integrated
platform.

It is recommended that non-English language versions of AutoCAD be
installed on an operating system with a user interface language that
matches the code page of the AutoCAD language. A code page provides
support for character sets used in different languages.
Whether the Windows operating system is the 32-bit or the 64-bit version
