Data shortcuts

Like adviced in thread "Civil3d hardware" I have divided my project in few
files using data shortcuts. Now I have dwg for surface, dwg for alignment
referenced with surface, dwg for profile referenced with surface and
alignment, dwg for corridor and sections referenced with surface, alignment
and profile. I can see that changing alignment tangent intersections is much
faster now.
Is that how you do it?

Sounds like you got it. With 2008 you could also go one step further out...
your sections can be in a separate file.It is a slightly different process
though. You dref the alignment so you can do the sample lines; you xref the
corridor file... 2008 will sample the corridor from an xref! This really
sped up both the corridor and the section regeneration times for me.

I would try to get a SQL server and use vault if I were you or run Vault local on your machine. Data shortcuts can be a major pain and several errors can result from them (multiple references is one that I have sent to Autodesk).
