AutoCAD Civil 3D

Documentation

AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software helps speed up the construction documentation phase of your projects by dynamically connecting design and documentation, automating much of the process.

Plan Production
Efficiently lay out plan and profile sheets with the Plans Production Wizard in AutoCAD Civil 3D. Fully integrated with the AutoCAD® software Sheet Set Manager, the Plans Production Wizard automates the layout of sheets and matchlines along alignments and generates plan and profile sheets based on the layout. The finished product is a series of drawing sheets ready for final annotation and plotting.

Drafting Styles and Standards
AutoCAD Civil 3D contains an extensive library of country-specific CAD styles. Use them to control nearly every aspect of drawing display. Colors, linetypes, contour increments, and labeling are fully controlled by styles. The software also provides a framework for customizing your own styles and standards to match the needs of your organization.

Production Drafting
Directly generate production plans, including fully annotated section sheets, profiles, and grading plans. The styles-based drafting environment helps automate the creation of typical drafting while maintaining drafting standards. More importantly, you can use xrefs and data shortcuts to generate drafting across multiple drawings. The result: a workflow where production sheets can use a single instance of the model. If the model changes, you can quickly synchronise all production sheets to reflect the update.

Annotation
Avoid out-of-date labels and annotation. AutoCAD Civil 3D derives annotation directly from design objects and automatically updates it when the design changes. The civil engineering design software responds to changes in drawing scale and view orientation, updating all labels instantly if you rotate or change the plot scale within different viewports.

Reporting
Take advantage of flexible, real-time, and extensible report generation. With the data derived directly from the model, reports update dynamically - providing quick feedback as you make design changes.

Design Review
Publish your civil engineering designs to DWF™ file format, enabling team members who are not CAD software users to digitally review the designs using Autodesk® Design Review software.
