Guess what happens if you select an alignment? Export a drawing with parcels to AutoCAD, you get lines. If I had exported this drawing to AutoCAD, I would have lost all this valuable information! Another great example of data lost when exporting to AutoCAD is parcels. After selecting one of the manhole points, you can see all the extra data that is available for this point. dwf, select the point and what do you get? Well, all the information you had in C3D!
Export to AutoCAD and you only get the coordinates (possibly the elevation) and whatever information happened to be in the label at the time of export. If you have a point in C3D, there is an amazing amount of information associated with that point, coordinates, descriptions, user defined properties, etc. dwf? First off, when you export to AutoCAD, you lose all intelligence associated with those C3D objects, they become AutoCAD lines, arcs, and circles. Well, I have one word for you, STOP IT!īefore I continue, I’m not going to say that you should never export to AutoCAD, there are some very valid reasons to do so (such as needing to open a C3D 2011 drawing in C3D 2010) but, in the above situation, the recipient of the drawing just needs to see it and perhaps review and comment on it. What do you do? Well, if you’re like most people, you’ll export your Civil 3D drawing to an AutoCAD drawing and send that drawing to the client. They aren’t going to be changing the drawings or anything along those lines. Well, they don’t own Civil 3D, just AutoCAD LT and, honestly, they don’t even use AutoCAD for anything other then simply viewing drawings. Here’s a hypothetical situation, you’re a C3D users working with a client and that client wants a copy of your drawing.
