OK. I mistakenly thought the OP was referring to multiple drawing windows in the same Autocad window. May I ask why multiple windows are superior to multiple views?

- they don't have to exactly make up the dimensions of the host window
- they can be resized by stretching
- they can be indepedantly opened and closed
There's a number of serious technical issues in getting it to work that way though.

Thanks. Sounds convenient but since I've never got to use a function like that I don't have a great wish for it. I mostly use MS Viewports to work in 2D and 3D at once or see Plan and Profile at the same time. In a design drawing I usually have the Viewport configuration named. The one in my example was restored by opening the Viewports dialog and selecting the name of the configuration.

You better explain further about "dual screen support". Everybody here (in this office, and I'd wager this board) has dual monitors, and runs Civil3D on both of them. if you mean, putting drawing windows outside of the application window, thats a *huge* technical undertaking.

When you turn on "Dual Screen" (found under the User Preferences), MS will create two "application" windows" and you put the second one on your other screen. No you can't put the tools/views outside of the application windows. Although if memory serves correctly, you CAN move InRoads (bentley's C3D counterpart which runs on top of MS) outside of the application windows.
Once you've done that, every view has a setting telling MS in which window it should be displayed.
It's been since 12/09 that I've used MS and they've replaced InRoads with OpenRoads in that time so I can't say anything about it.

This is how Civil 3D looks stretched across both my monitors. Maybe not quite as good as 2 windows. But I get the work done with it.
