How to create my own production plan

[agm37]

I need to use an imperial production plan with a 10' or 15' scale. Can you make edits to the existing Production Plans provided for sections in Civil3D? If not, how do I create my own that I can use with creating multiple sections?

Open the .dwt file that supplies the layouts. Plan Production tools default to using  C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Autodesk\C3D 2021\enu\Template\Plan Production\Civil 3D (Imperial) Plan and Profile.dwt.

I would do a Saveas to protect the original. Save it as a .dwt.

See the layout tabs? Copy one of those, rename it to your scale. On that tab, set both layouts to View Locked: No.

Zoom to 10 scale (Z; 1/10xp) inside each viewport. Check Properties and be sure Viewport Type is set correctly for each viewport.

Go back to Paperspace. Display Lock the Viewports. Save the .dwt.
