Civil Engineering Professional Development Hour

Join me Friday, January 18th for: Taking Advantage of Points. Not only are points used by Surveyors for mapping and construction staking, but they are widely used as a design tool by Engineers as well. In this demonstration, you will grasp the concept of both Point Styles and Point Label Styles. I will show how to import and export points from Civil 3D and the mysterious world of the “Create Points” toolbar. I will also uncover the many settings available under Point Command Settings that can be adjusted to help increase workflow and productivity! Let’s not forget about Point Groups and Description Keys…we will examine both functionalities. If your organization has battled with using Point Groups over Description Keys, this will help you to make an informed decision! Join me in talking about Points from A to Z!

The webinar begins at noon and goes to 1pm Eastern time! You can come into the Plymouth, Michigan office and watch me live, or view it from the comfort of your office. Click here to sign up.

Add the Civil 3D Extensions to your Cui!

Have you ever wanted to add your Civil 3D Extensions to your cui?

First:  Civil 3D extensions.
There are currently 3 Civil 3D extensions. Each extension comes with manual instructions on incorporating the necessary commands to access the extension from within Civil 3D. If it would help you, I put together a partial menu file that you can quickly add the commands to launch the new extensions to your Civil 3D menu. The partial menu creates new pull down menu called C3D Extensions. (I am calling the Hydraflow application via. an AutoCAD shell command. Quick and easy but not the most graceful. Feel free to refine as you see fit. Usage of the .cui assumes the Extensions have already been installed to their default locations. You can access the install files for the extensions from the links below:
