Civil 3D Data management practices

Module overview

When working with infrastructure projects, thinking about how you and your team manage your projects and data ahead of time is crucial to streamlining your work. Learn how you can implement the best practices that leverage external references (Xrefs), data reference shortcuts (Drefs), and other data management tools built into Civil 3D.

After completing, you will be able to:

• Identify and compare different ways to manage data for AEC projects in Civil 3D.
• Attach and work with an external reference file in Civil 3D.
• Create and use data shortcuts as reference links in Civil 3D projects.
