​ Leverage the corridor for design of site features. ​ In addition to alignments and profiles, feature lines can now be used as corridor baselines in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017. Feature lines can also be selected when creating the corridor and when adding baselines. ​Clickhere to try out AutoCAD Civil 3D 2017 for free.

Enhanced access to corridor models improving how teams work on transportation project Create data shortcuts for corridors so they can be referenced in other drawings. When data shortcuts are created for a corridor, shortcuts are also created for the alignments and profiles that make up the corridor baselines. The geometry of a reference surface in ...

Roundabout-related features from Autodesk^® Vehicle Tracking have been integrated into AutoCAD Civil 3D enabling the creation of a new type of roundabout object in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

 

 

You can now bring roundabouts into an AutoCAD Civil 3D drawing from Autodesk^® InfraWorks® 360.

AutoCAD Civil 3D software is a civil engineering design and documentation solution that supports Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows with a variety of civil infrastructure project types, including roads and highways, land development, rail, airports, and water. Using AutoCAD Civil 3D, infrastructure professionals can better unde...

Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite is a comprehensive BIM for Infrastructure software solution that combines intelligent, model-based tools to help you gain more accurate, accessible, and actionable insight throughout the project execution and lifecycle of transportation, land, utility, and water projects.

The Autodesk Civil Engineering Data Translator provides users with the ability to share project design data such as surfaces, alignments, profiles, points, between AutoCAD Civil 3D and Bentley InRoads or Bentley GEOPAK Software.

 

This cloud service is only available to customers with an active Autodesk Maintenance or Desktop Subscription to AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Premium edition or Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate edition.

You do not require InRoads or GEOPAK installation.

 

Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite is a comprehensive BIM for Infrastructure software solution that combines intelligent, model-based tools to help you gain more accurate, accessible, and actionable insight throughout the project execution and lifecycle of transportation, land, utility, and water projects.

With the Infrastructure Design Suite you can:
 

• Better understand and communicate project risk, intent and options before a project is built.
• Maintain more consistent data, context, and processes across the project lifecycle.
• Respond more quickly to change with processes that are smarter, faster and mobile.

 The following document compares the 2014 and 2013 versions of Autodesk Infrastructure Design Suite Ultimate:

In a continued effort to improve product quality and stability, Autodesk released this hotfix for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 all languages. The hotfix addresses the issues below:

• The hotfix resolves an issue with the Survey Figures Property Dialog. In the lower section of the panel you can now see the vertex properties for chain type figures.
• The hotfix also resolves an issue when opening an AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 drawing in Navisworks Manage 2013 with the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Object Enabler installed. After applying the hotfix, importing a drawing using Navisworks Manage 2013 no longer results in the application becoming unresponsive or closing unexpectedly.

Civil engineering design projects may vary from developing new site/s to the revitalization of existing site/s. The types of projects also vary from roadways, subdivisions, land fills to individual plot designs. Every site or project has its own set of challenges, although the same civil design principles apply to each one. The creative imagination of the designer and his implementation of the design principles can affect the overall success of the design.

The goal of the white paper in the link provided below, is to illustrate how AutoCAD Civil 3D can be used for road reconstruction and rehabilitation design by explaining key concepts and providing real-world examples.
