Commands

Ribbon/Toolbar Icon Command Command Description

LABELGENIE

Automatically label your sheets and drawings with both Civil 3D and Autodesk® AutoCAD® annotation. Choose anchor objects through property filters, then insert 100s of labels at once on surfaces, lines and curves, alignments, mtext, leaders, blocks, and more. Works on multiple drawings and layouts at the same time. Users have detailed control of label insertion, including offsets, rotation, scaling, styles, and more. AutoCAD label text can be populated with custom text, or AutoCAD fields can be inserted to generate dynamic links to anchor objects. Save labeling “scenarios” for quick repeat on other projects or drawings. Label Genie will accomplish what’s typically hours or days of work into a fraction of the time.

EARTHPROC

Generate detailed earthwork definitions by creating earthwork sets. Provide an existing and proposed surfaces, as well as polylines or feature lines to represent varying subgrade depths across the site. Earthwork Processor will do the rest, including generation of a dynamic subgrade surface, accounting for topsoil stripping, and resulting in cuts and fills per region. When designs change simply refresh the Earthwork Set and everything will be updated automatically. Results can be labeled, shaded, inserted in AutoCAD tables, and exported to Excel.

AUTOGRADER

Create site grading models that are dynamic and stable at the same time. Define “parent” feature lines through native methods, then create Grading Families to both generate and update “child” feature lines. “Parent” lines can be anything, but might include gutter lines, pond tops, or right-of-way lines in subdivisions. Plug in distance, slope, and daylight parameters to create back/top of curb, pond benches, or side and back of lot feature lines. When “parent” lines change, refresh Grading Families to automatically update “child” lines. Breaklines are automatically added to surfaces. Layer and Style assignment is automated through user settings.

PIPESEDIT

Edit and analyze pipe networks in external or in-app spreadsheets.

CMAP_SETUP

Automatically assign corridor targets by mapping subassemblies to layers, styles, object names or other subassemblies to create a dynamic link that updates the corridor as more target objects are created.

PARTSTAG

Auto-populate one or more Pipe Network Part’s properties for Labeling or Tabling, including the following fields: Grate, Cover, Frame, Material, Rim Offset, Sump, Reference Surface, Reference Alignment, and Description.

DATAWIZARD

Sets up the data sources and entities for creating tables from scratch.

PIPEDES

Design pipe runs inside the Civil 3D drawing using a spreadsheet editor.

CORM

A tool to merge two or more corridors into one corridor.

CORS

Corridor Splitter allows a single corridor to be split into two corridors. All original properties including targets, frequencies, surfaces and more will remain intact saving a lot of time.

PARTSWAPMULT

Built for all Civil 3D users, this tool allows the swapping of multiple parts, both structures and pipes, for alternatives. Parts will be swapped similar to the native Swap Parts command, but allows it to be performed on multiple parts at a time.

FL2A

Feature Line to Alignment allows users to automatically generate an alignment and layout profile from a feature line. Used by surveyors to stakeout site feature lines such as curb, or designers needing data conversions without needing to redraw.

SDSW

Survey Sweeper will allow users to simultaneously delete selected survey points and survey figures from drawings and survey databases.

CORC

Corridor Cleanup will help users quickly reconstruct their corridor regions without the need for tedious target removal or completely deleting the corridor or regions.

CLASHSEEK

Clash Seeker is a set of tools that will assist with running checks for object collisions, creating reports of said collisions, and updating and managing objects within the clash reports. Clash detections can happen on a wide array of object types in the active dwg file. Once the clash set has been defined and run in the dwg, the results can be reviewed within the Clash Seeker interface or exported to an xlsx file or saved as a Table and placed within the dwg. When there are changes made to the site or profiles or alignments, these clash reports can be updated based on the current state of the drawing to reflect the changes made. Clash Set settings files can also be saved out of Clash Seeker and used again for different drawings or projects.

Can also now select multiple subassemblies at once an assign targets to all of them. Subassemblies can now be mirrored to other subassemblies, so that when the source one changes all the dependent subassemblies update with it. A default surface can be assigned for surface targeting so that as new surface type subassemblies are added to the corridor their surface target will automatically assign. Users can filter out objects by type. Manual selection of targets has been added. A list of current targets is now available to view targets assign automatically and manually to a given subassembly. Earthwork Processor - Bug Fix – Misc. bug fixes. Earthwork Processer - Enhancement - Added option to multi-select region rows for mass editing. Added zoom in drawing buttons for each region.

Suite Enhancement: Compatibility for metric and French civil 3D added. Data Wizard Enhancement: Added support for polygonal viewports. Previously only worked on rectangular viewports. Improved functionality on the type of blocks that are created when Data Wizard generates graphics in a table. Blocks are now anonymous blocks and won't show up in the list of block definitions in the drawing. Also added functionality to purge out unused Data Wizard blocks in the drawing when the Update Table command is run on AutoCAD tables with graphics. Data Wizard Bug Fix: Fixed an issue where when a viewport is chosen for creating an autocad table the reference to the viewport would break after closing the drawing. Fixed an issue where unloaded xrefs were causing an error. Tables couldn't be updated after the drawing was reopened. Changed the viewport reference to use a different type of viewport handle ID that doesn't break the link to the table. Fixed an issue where when creating a table in Civil 3D French version an error was received. Fixed an issue where an error would result when working with unclassified user-defined properties in Parcels. Addressed the limited functionality of user-defined properties in parcels through xrefs. Data Wizard does not support this, but no longer errors. Instead will provide a message explaining that user-defined properties in parcels must reside in the current drawing to be extracted. Fixed an issue where when typing backspace in a custom description field the entire field would be deleted. Fixed issue where layout tabs in the first screen were not sorting according to the user order set in the drawing. Addressed issue where blocks in xrefs were not counting correctly.

Data Wizard Bug Fix: Fixed issue where Point Groups weren't populating the Filter dropdown menu. Fixed issue where column headers were becoming mismatched with column data. Data Wizard New Feature: Added per-item or per-instance functionality for all object types, where every instance get its own row, not just a summary or representative item per row. This serves purposes where unique information for each instance needs to be tabulated. Added support for Solids and Parcel object types. Added additional fields relevant to Solids and Parcels, including Site Name. Sheet Generator Bug Fix: Fixed issue where matchline text isn't updating after running Update Layouts command. Fixed issue and improved functionality for when north arrow sits outside of the viewport extents. Sheet Generator now looks for the closed instance to the viewport of the selected north arrow block.
