Course | Skill builder
Document your products with ease by learning how to use Civil 3D for your plan productions.
Last updated: October 25, 2023

Overview

Deliver stronger projects with plan production using Civil 3D. Learn how to set up drawing sheets and create a sheet master drawing with drawing scales applied. Create plan and profile sheets before moving onto section master sheets where you’ll insert baseline alignment, create sample lines, and externally reference (xref) a road design model. Round out your skills by generating sheet sets and adding pipe work.

After completing this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Create and work with sheets.
  • Edit sheet templates.
  • Use external reference (xref) to attach DWG files.
  • Set viewport types.
  • Create view frames.
  • Insert baseline alignment and pipe network using data shortcuts.
  • Set drawing scale.
  • Apply styles and labels.
  • Create sample lines.
  • Create multiple section views.
  • Generate sheet sets.
