Setting up Civil 3D

Course overview

When you begin a project in Civil 3D, it is crucial that it is set up so that the design acts as a dynamic single source of truth. Learn how external references, data shortcuts, templates, and styles are used effectively to standardize object display, layers, and drawing settings across a project.  

This course will teach you how to: 

• Utilize external references (Xrefs) and data shortcuts (Drefs) in a Civil 3D project. 
• Set up standard styles, layers, and labels in drawing templates. 
• Share Civil 3D object catalogs, references, and styles across drawings.
