Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012

New and improved features of AutoCAD Civil 3D civil engineering software enable civil engineers, drafters, designers, and technicians working on transportation, land development, and water resources engineering projects to work more efficiently. AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 includes enhanced alignment layout and tools that enable easier sharing of drafting and design standards across organizations. Corridor enhancements streamline corridor editing, and data import improvements help to simplify the creation of intelligent objects

Features:

Corridor Enhancements
Corridor enhancements include tools that streamline corridor editing by providing for interaction in plan, profile, and section view simultaneously. In addition, flexibility to create cross sections off multiple baselines, such as those found on divided highways, and the ability to create sections off skewed or angled sample lines offer extended modeling capabilities

Enhanced Alignment Layout
Alignment layout enhancements offer improved support for multi-element curves and added control over alignment constraints, including alignments imported from LandXML. These enhancements extend to global drafting improvements related to Point of Intersection labeling and curve mid-point labeling

Styles Management
Collaborate more efficiently with new functionality that helps to simplify sharing of AutoCAD Civil 3D drafting and design standards across organizations. Enhancements include:

• The ability to copy styles and settings from a selected drawing or template
• Improved control over styles that are copied
• The ability to purge unwanted styles from a drawing
• The ability to replace drawing object styles

Data Import Enhancements
Help simplify the process of creating intelligent objects in AutoCAD Civil 3D. More easily select, view, and import point data. Create intelligent 3D pipe networks using data that resides in GIS data formats
