I read the 13 pages of the ongoing thread of Bugs and Issues, and I'll be honest many of the issues either do not pertain to my type of work or didnot seem like a game changer i.e. "cant copy layout tabs with ctrl kek and dragging". etc.
Surely many of these reported issues upset other's work flows, and have to be dealt with.
What I did not gleen from the B&I thread was: is 2015 production ready?

Several of our users are experiencing crashes when snapping to profiles with the distance command or placing multileaders. We think the snapping is the issue. All have the latest SP1 installed.

Thanks Steve
I didn't know you could snap to a profile (other than near and End). Is that a new feature?
Joe,
2015 doesn't like my graphics card and I had to turn off hardware acceleration, so it's slower than 2014 for me. And the lower Status Bar is changed; not better, just different. Those are the only differences that affect me.
So, because it's slower, I'll stick with 2014 for now. If I get a new computer with an awesome graphics card, I'll switch then.

Yea you can snap, and it's not new. It works in 2014 as well.

It means on surface profiles, you can use endpoint object snap to snap to a vertice (grade break or triangle crossing) in the profile (even though when you click on it you don't see the veritces), and you can use nearest object snap to snap anywhere along a surface profile.

If you aren't using the survey side of things or point clouds, then perhaps it'll be OK for you. But it's the little things like the copy layout being missing that decrease productivity and don't really make 2015 worth upgrading to.

I can copy a layout.
Using the 5 click method, sure. But the easiest, fastest way that's been built into AutoCAD since version 2000 is the one where you just hold CTRL + Drag the layout to make a copy. That's how Excel works and how Layouts have always worked in AutoCAD until 2015 came out.
Oh, forgot to mention the bug with LandXML imports of pipe networks. If you use LandXML to bring a pipe network into 2015 (I think 2014, also) there's a bug where the pipes won't come in at all if a custom part catalog is used. This wrecks havok if you're using something like SSA that exports the pipe network as LandXML.
And thats not exactly what I would call a weak card?
Joe,

One BIG feature that our clients love about Civil 3D 2015 is the ability to capture and plot from the online mapping.
If everything else is equal (I'm not saying it is, that's for you to decide,) this makes 2015 a better choice than 2014, where you can view but not plot the mapping.
