Learn Civil 3D best practices

Avatech Solutions, Inc., is hosting 11, Autodesk Civil 3D styles and Autodesk Vault workshops across the country in January and February. Avatech experts will share best practices gained while implementing Autodesk Civil 3D at firms across the industry. Attendees will learn how Civil 3D styles help firms work smarter by understanding style hierarchies, how styles relate to objects, and how templates ensure drawings use styles for common elements. Participants will also learn how to create styles based on Autodesk Land Desktop standards, as well as from scratch, to define new standards for consistency and efficiency.

Autodesk Vault, combined with Civil 3D, facilitates the organization of files, distribution of files over a network, version control, check-in and check-out functions, and coordinates document restoration and archiving. According to Avatech, Autodesk Vault provides increased revision control, design reuse, support for quality initiatives, and regulatory compliance.
