AutoCAD Training Overview

The Civil 3D 2013 Fundamentals training guide is designed for Civil Engineers and Surveyors who want to take advantage of AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software’s interactive, dynamic design functionality. AutoCAD Civil 3D software permits the rapid development of alternatives through its model-based design tools. You will learn techniques enabling you to organize project data, work with points, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, create parcel layouts, perform grading and volume calculation tasks, and layout pipe networks.

AutoCAD Training Topics

• Become familiar with the AutoCAD Civil 3D user interface
• Create /Edit Parcels and print parcel reports
• Create and manage Points and Point Groups and work with survey figures
• Create, edit, view, and analyze surfaces
• Create and edit Alignments
• Create data shortcuts
• Create sites, profiles and cross-sections
• Create assemblies, corridors, and intersections
