New in Civil 3D 2021 1 Project Explorer

earn the new updates from Civil 3D 2021.1 today. Autodesk Project Explorer for Civil 3D is an environment that allows a user to analyze Civil Objects in the model such as Alignments, Corridors, and Gravity Pipe Networks. The customizable User Interface provides the flexibility to simultaneously view civil objects both graphically and in a data grid. Additional user preferences provide options to change settings like the color of different entities to changing the vertical scale of a profile, all in one dialog. The layout of how the design data is viewed can also be customized for a pleasing user experience. Reviewing the design of a complex corridor can take time, but Project Explorer makes this more efficient because the user has the ability to review the entire model in one location. Being able to compare the corridor to different surfaces helps flush out problems with the design. Not only can you review, but the user can also make changes when needed. Accessing Civil 3D Design tools like pipe network layout can be done directly inside of Project Explorer. Additional tools are available in project explorer such as setting a constant pipe slope throughout a network to help streamline the design process. Project Explorer gives the user the ability to create custom AutoCAD tables that can be created static or dynamic. The user can customize the content of the tables and save a template file for use on future projects. Because this table was set to dynamic, when the user changes the design, here swapping some or all of the pipes to a different size in this instance, the table updates automatically. The table will stay current to the design, thereby reducing costly errors The user can also take advantage of the robust reporting functionality in Project Explorer. You can quickly create custom reports in several different formats, thereby helping to streamline the construction documentation process.

You would need to press the "Layout" button in the lower left corner of the Project Explorer window. This will allow you to edit the currently assigned Layout Style. 

The Layout Options window will open, in which you should select the "General" tab and adjust the "General Decimal Places" setting.

@bruce.harfield is there a reason why 4 dp is the default rather than the usual 3?

[bruce.harfield]

@neilyj666 I don't recall specifically why it was set to a default of 4. Sounds like you'd like to be able to set your own defaults.
