What to install?

[Anonymous]

Just got my copy of Civil 3D and it comes with 2 DVDs. On just says Autodesk Civil 3D and the other has "international english" appended.

Now being in the UK, which do I install? there is no clue on the disks or the accompanying multilingual flyers.

Easy...
The "unmarked" is US version (the version most people use also outside US if they don't have a specific localized one)

The "International english" is the UK one.
It should be named something like "UK version" to avoid confusion.
For example says the Menu in the US version "Sections" and the "International english" says "Chainages"

I have heard the term Chainages from time to time around here and never quite figured it out.
So Chainages=Cross-sections or something close?

The difference is that we have "translated" the US terminology to better
match the UK or ANZ terminology on the International English version of
Civil 3D. Here is the short list of some of the changes:


Unmarked Disk "International English" Disk
Station Chainage
Profile Long Section
Shoulder Verge
Slope Cross Fall
Lane Carriage Way

There are a bunch more, but these are the big ones.

Meter and Color are spelled the same in both versions.

John:

Back in the old days, probably before you were born, we measured in chains
(from the English I assume). A chain is 66 feet long, now watch me close.
10 Square chains = 66 x 660 = 43,560 S.F. Anything else you need?

Hi Peter,

We recommend to ANZ users to use the "Unmarked disk"

Unmarked Disk "International English" Disk ANZ Usage
Station Chainage
Chainage
Profile Long Section Long
Section
Shoulder Verge
Shoulder
Slope Cross Fall Cross
Fall (as applies to cross sections)
Lane Carriage Way Lane -
This is critical. As with USA a carriageway may consist of several lanes
and the usage is NOT interchangeable.
Parcel Plot
Parcel (in use in the sense can I subdivide into several Parcels. Parcels
are usually called Lots as in Lot 1)

Note that there can be further variations in usage in the various States.

The spelling of "meter" does not comply with much of the Australian Metric
legislation and it would be highly desirable to provide for the spelling
used in 99% of the countries around the world. The use of "color" is off
putting, but we can probably live with it, having done so for the last 25
years in AutoCAD.

If I remember correctly doesn't it vary from Location to Location?

Hence my comment about a she. 🙂 but being just a mapper I shouldn't know
these things.

Now I wonder if we or anyone can link the 33 1/3 given in wikipedia to the
speed of those old black CDs that we grew up with.
