company is beginning to make the transition from EaglePoint software to
Civil3D. While that has gone mostly well, another concern is coming up with
respect to working between AutoCAD and Civil3D. Because we only have a handful
of licenses available (for now anyways), only a few people can be using
Civil3D it at a time. Coupled with the fact that some people are still
resistant to using Civil3D or have not had enough training to be efficient
yet, there are going to be times when work on a project will need to be done
in AutoCAD, whether it be for drafting or plan preparation, etc. Bouncing
between programs is far from seamless, though, and Civil3D objects are
recognized as "Proxy Entities" or something like that. Additionally, I don't
completely know how changes made in AutoCAD ultimately affect tools and
objects in Civil. I've also experimented some with exporting work to AutoCAD,
but that results in one of two results: 1) There is an error regarding
xreferences that I don't understand. 2) Many items come in as blocks and
making changes can be cumbersome. Has anyone else had much experience with
balancing work between AutoCAD and Civil3D? What is a good way (if one
exists) to keep work flowing reasonably between the two programs? Thoughts
appreciated...
