I think my advice would be to finish those projects in Land Desktop, if
that's what you were using, and start new projects with Civil 3D.
Convertting LDT projects into Civil 3D can be problematic, especially when
the project is well under way.

I'm new to 2008 and I'm having a tough time of it. I get the fact that 2008
has North UP in all cases and I'll deal with that but I'm coming from the
survey end of this and don't understand this program well. In 2004, drawing
north was adjusted to fit our paper the best. We are converting over now
but many of our drawings are still 2004. When these drawings are used as
base maps for design, they no longer carry over the same bearing system in
2008. How can I change the orientation in 2008 to match what has been done
already? Do we have to rotate each drawing as soon as it is created in 2008
to match our "old" bearing system? We currently do a "save as" and change
the name but in 2008 then, north is "up". This is a big issue for us and I
could really use some advice.
