AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 Drawing Template
This drawing template has been completely re-written allowing for a complete overhaul of the layers used by the various styles. The general philosophy used for layers in the template is one layer for the object, one layer for the labels for that object and one layer for the tables. Within the object style definition the sub-components are set to use to objects layer and different colours/linetypes etc. to alter the display of the sub-components of the object.
The only exception to this philosophy is surfaces. Each surface is created on a separate layer and the Design and Existing contours and contour labels are created on separate layers.
Due to the broad spectrum of varying survey codes, two sample Description Key Sets has been included, one for Alpha coding and one for Numeric coding. A sample set of Point Style has also been included.
Please forward any improvements/suggestions to support@cadapps.com.au
Download the AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawing Template
Copy the Drawing Template into the Civil 3D 2008 Template folder on your computer which is, by default:
C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Local Settings/Application Data/AutodeskC3D 2008/enu/Template
