Civil3D 2022 | For Windows | 1 Year Student License | Digital Delivery

This year’s new release of Civil 3D includes improvements in two main areas: alignments and connected alignments, as well as some minor upgrades to the pressure pipe creation workflow and the ArcGIS Connector.

CONNECTED ALIGNMENTS

In previous versions of Civil 3D, we were very limited when it came to the creation of connected alignments as there were no options to select or modify the curve type. This year Autodesk have added the ability to set a curve group type with a wide range of curve groups available. We are also able to offset the connected alignment which wasn’t possible in previous versions. With the addition of a handy preview button, you can see the connected alignment whilst the dialog box remains open, which allows us to visualise the design and make amendments depending on the preview.

If there is no solution to the input curve parameters, Civil 3D now includes an ‘auto-fit’ feature that will automatically adjust the parameters to create a solution for the selected curve type. There have also been some minor improvements to the choice of curve when it comes to the connected profile – we can now choose between a ‘parabola’ and a ‘circular curve’ profile curve type.

ALIGNMENTS

The second main area of improvement this year has come in the selection of curve group types when creating alignments. Three new curve group types have been added which are useful when joining to or from an existing curve.
