AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Paste Surfaces Using The Ribbon Video

This AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors Video is an update to my last video (AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Paste Surfaces Video – see link below), in which, I forgot to show you how to paste surfaces using the Ribbon in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

You can use this technique to merge design and/or as-built surfaces into your original existing conditions surface. Once you paste the surfaces into the first surface, you will then have one surface that blends all the surfaces together.

AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors-Coordinate Systems

In this oldie but goodie video, I show you how to set up coordinate systems in AutoCAD Civil 3D Drawings & Survey Databases.

If you’re new to AutoCAD Civil 3D, properly setting up your Drawing and Survey Databases is the most important thing you need to do.

While this video shows you how to set up coordinate systems in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 Drawings & Survey Databases, the concepts remain the same for older releases and newer releases, like; AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012, and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013.

AutoCAD Civil 3D How To Insert Geo-Referenced Images

This AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors Video shows you how to insert geo-referenced images, like aerial photographs or orthophotos.

AutoCAD Civil 3D, being built on Map 3D, allows you to easily use Geographic Information System (GIS) data into your land surveying, design and engineering projects.

All you need is a geo-referenced image with a corresponding World File. The World File contains coordinate values identifying the location, scale, and rotation of the geo-reference image.
