Creating Civil 3D Standards I

This course is designed for CAD Managers and civil/site professionals who want to improve efficiency and consistency across their Civil 3D projects. You’ll learn to develop and implement system-wide standards, including templates, layers, annotation, and plotting standards. The class also covers object display and label styles, along with automated labeling techniques to streamline workflows and maximize productivity.

This course is delivered in 2 two-hour sessions. A live instructor explains the detailed functions and addresses questions as the class progresses.
