Datasheet

Creating and delivering construction documentation is the
final step for most civil engineering projects. It is also one of
the most time-consuming, error-prone phases of a project.

Draughting Styles and Standards
Civil D provides an extensive library of country-
specific CAD styles to control virtually every
aspect of drawing display. Colours, linetypes,
contour increments, labelling and much more are
fully controlled by styles. Civil D also provides a
framework for customising your own styles and
standards to match the needs of your organisation.
Production Draughting
Automatically generate production plans such as fully
annotated section sheets, profiles, grading plans and
more. Most important, draughting can be
generated across multiple drawings by using xrefs
and data shortcuts. The result is a workflow that
enables production sheets to use a single instance
of the model. And if the model changes, you can
quickly synchronise all production sheets to
reflect the update.
Plan Production
Civil D includes a comprehensive tool for the
layout of plan and profile sheets. Fully integrated
with the AutoCAD 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.
Annotation
Civil D annotation is derived directly from design
objects, through external references, and updates
automatically when the design changes. It also
automatically responds to changes in drawing scale
and view orientation so if you rotate or change the
plot scale within dierent viewports, all labels
update instantly.
Reporting
Civil D provides flexible, real-time and extensible
report generation directly in the software. And
because the data is derived directly from the
model, reports update dynamically, providing
quick feedback as design changes are made.
Map Books
Designed for use with the Sheet Set Manager,
the map books feature lays out sheets across your
entire project while generating key maps and
legends for your entire sheet set. This capability
is ideal for laying out utility maps, grading plans
or even cross-section sheets.
Design Review
Today, the engineering process from design
through construction is more complex than ever.
Design review often involves team members who
are not CAD software users, yet who are vital to
the project. Publishing to DWF™ format helps
overcome these challenges by extending design
review, digitally, to the entire team.
Being able to change views
instantly really eases the
work process. In addition,
you are able to show
plans and prerequisites to
your customers in a very
defined and obvious way.
Recently I held a meeting
with a customer where we
added a car park right into
the D model. It is that easy.

Visualisation
Most civil engineering projects require you to
deliver presentations to review boards and funding
agencies. But preparing those presentations
can be time-consuming and disconnected from
the design process. Civil D
provides integrated
tools for developing D visualisations directly from
the model. You can even publish to Google Earth
to quickly demonstrate how designs fit into the
surrounding landscape.
