Best, Tiana Tiana. Post Reply. This allows an unlimited number of pre-configured reports to be regenerated between design changes. Use the Generate Report button in that tab to regenerate your reports at any time. If you add a corridor baseline to an Object Set, you can filter the corridor feature lines that are included in the report.

Again, these offsets are calculated live so you can continue manipulating those alignments and profiles in Civil 3D and see how that affects the relationship between them. Customizing the Project Explorer Window The layout of the Project Explorer window and the way that content is displayed within it is fully customizable. User Interface Layout The layout of content is handled from the Layout Options window, which can be accessed from the Layout User Interface Preferences The remaining options in the Project Explorer window such as fonts, colors, the layout, and visibility of Object Category tabs, and profile view colors and scales, are controlled from the Project Explorer Preferences window.

Right-Click Menus and Keyboard Shortcuts Most object lists in the panel have right click menus allowing you to select and zoom to the corresponding object in the viewport. Then it will be easier for you later when you start to learn how to draw. The rule is: create a new drawing using appropriate template. I know some instructors teach students how to use each drawing tools.

The next week at best. Drawing tools are very easy to use. Most basic tools name describe what they do. Line tool will draw a line; rectangle tool will draw a rectangle. Easy, right? What you have to understand is, every tool might have a different way to be used. Try to activate a drawing tool, like a line. After you activate the line tool, then AutoCAD will tell you what to do: specify the first point. Define your point by clicking in the drawing area; then it will ask you again: Specify next point.

After I activate circle, AutoCAD will tell me to specify a start point, and give an option: I can switch from specifying a start point to a center point.

This time, I type the capital letter in the option, C, to specify the center point. Then AutoCAD asks me for the center point, start point, then end point consecutively. Follow command line; then you should be OK. Even for you who have used AutoCAD for years, you should be watching command line sometimes. Especially when you use a new version, try to find if there is any new option there.

After you get familiar with using drawing tool, then now you should get familiar with coordinate input. Precision is one of the advantages of using CAD. At this time you will learn about global and relative coordinate, then snap tools. After finishing this step, you will be able to draw precisely. Next step: modify tools. There are many modify tools. But same as drawing tools, the name should describe what they do. Or at least the icon will describe more.

You can just let your pointer above the icon, and let the help tooltip expand and explain more. You can also try to activate the tool, then press F1. It will open help file with the related topic. They open then search the help file. After you playing with the modify tools, now you should learn about object selection. You will need to select objects when you modify or manipulate them.

Selecting one object is peace of cake. But if you have also need to modify drawing then you should learn more tricks. I have written about this before. When you get to this step, maybe you want to read more advanced object selection here.

You can use noun-verb or verb-noun selection to modify objects. But I think the default is verb-noun selection, contrary to Windows default: noun-verb selection.
