Digging Into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 – Level 1

Learn to leverage the power of AutoCAD Civil 3D with this book. Digging Into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 takes you through a complete project while you learn the fundamentals of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

One of the biggest challenges for any user migrating to the Civil 3D 2010 release is learning the completely redesigned interface featuring the ribbon. To be productive in this version you will need to be able to find familiar commands, as well learn new ones. This book features rewritten exercises, with all new screen captures to guide you through the new ribbon interface and build the comfort level needed to be productive in Civil 3D.

You will learn the best procedures for many common tasks,
including working with:

  • The New Ribbon Interface
  • Styles
  • Labels
  • GIS Data
  • Raster Images
  • Points
  • Surfaces
  • Parcels
  • Alignment
  • Profiles
  • Corridors
  • Sections
  • Grading
  • Volumes

One of the most important features in Civil 3D is Styles. Styles control the display, labeling, and in some cases the geometric properties of Civil 3D objects. This book exposes you to many different object and label styles as you work through the project, teaching you the concepts within the context of an ordinary workflow.

Since many of you are transitioning from Land Desktop, many tips are included to make this process easier.

This is an update to our popular Level 1 book for Civil 3D 2009. It uses the same dataset and project, however, there are many reasons that you will want to have this new version of the book for AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010. We are confident that you will find it a valuable resource as you work with Civil 3D.

Top 5 reasons to upgrade if you have an earlier edition of our book:

  1. Updated screen captures and steps for the changes to the new 2010 Ribbon Interface
  2. Updated exercises for critical changes to 2010 processes and functionality
