Getting Started - AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009
The tutorials offer an in-depth guided tour of the major features of AutoCAD Civil 3D, using
realistic engineering drawings and data. For a thorough knowledge of AutoCAD Civil 3D, it is recommended that you explore the tutorials after you have read through the conceptual information provided in the Getting Started guide. ...
The new AutoCAD Civil 3D Best Practices guide provides best practices
information to help you optimize your use of AutoCAD Civil 3D. This guide
includes chapters for aspects of AutoCAD Civil 3D such as project management,
templates and style optimization, and specific features including surfaces,
grading, pipe networks, and corridors.
The underlying object model in AutoCAD Civil 3D creates some major efficiencies in the
engineering design process. Because of this model, changes to one object can affect related
objects, and object styles can control many aspects of object appearance and behavior. This
chapter describes both the object model and the AutoCAD Civil 3D user interface for working
with objects.
AutoCAD Civil 3D is an object-oriented program that works with intelligent
objects. The objects reference a style, which can be changed at any time. Any
style can be copied by dragging it from one drawing to another. The new drawing
knows where to put that style in the Settings tree. You can then apply the new
style to existing objects.
Most objects in AutoCAD Civil 3D have several components. For example, a
surface includes contours, triangles, and points. You can control how these
components are displayed either by using layers or by setting the display
properties directly in the object style. You use the Layer Properties Manager
dialog box or the object styles dialog boxes respectively to do this.
