AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

Is there any way to record DRIVE? I can show the project manager the design in minutes with DRIVE. Yet trying to recreate the same output with 3DFLY is an exercise in patience.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Get yourself a copy of Jing, a free screen recorder. Civil 3D does not provide a way to record the Drive, but you can start Jing, then start your Drive and you'll have a recording. It allows you to pick a window defining what part of the screen to record, so you don't have to show the Civil 3D program, only the drive.

If you want to have ability to edit, for $300 you can get Camtasia Studio. Nice piece of software. Many of us on this discussion board use it.

Please follow up to this thread with your results.

Best regards,

Tim

As far as I know, Chronicle only records the entire application and you can't select just the drawing area (for example). Don't get me wrong, it's a great tool but it was created for recording training type videos. I use it to record trouble shooting issues as well.

Thanks Tim! Jing worked awesome!  Thank you for your help.  (File size is too big to post here.)  Until I can finally figure out all the settings to get ANIPATH to show all my rendered surfaces DRIVE command with Jing is the way I will be making these videos for now!

Thanks for the link Darren,

I am going to try Chronicle for my next lunch and learn, it looks like a great tool for presentation.
