- Hopefully this is not necessarily new news to you all, as your Communication Centre in Civil 3D should have already alerted you to this new import tool for GENIO files into AutoCAD Civil 3D.
For those that have to deal with files from other design and survey companies etc that come in GENIO format you need a method to bring that into Civil 3D. Also if it is a design file that contains, surfaces and alignment and profile geometry wouldn't it be nice to actually have them converted to Civil 3D objects!
Well that is what this tool does!
GENIO files orginated from 'MOSS/Mx' and has been used in the industry for many years for transferring data with design and survey data.
So where do you get it, well this tool is for you guys that are on subscription as an additional benefit to what came in the box software.
You need to login into http://www.autodesk.com/subscriptionlogin and download it from there.
If you don't know your login details, please contact your IT department who looks after your Autodesk software and or your reseller who supplied you the software.
Finally want to watch a short webcast on how to use it?

Another UK Civil 3D Star
Posted 05/28/08 by Jack Strongitharm
I always like to share our users experiences from the UK and Ireland that really embrace Civil 3D.
We have a new case study from Bury Council (North West England) who have been making a difference to their civil designs making the best of AutoCAD Civil 3D to their working practices

Drawing overviews
Posted 05/05/08 by Ove Cervin
Hello everyone
Hope all has seen some sun by now, even Sweden has... ;-)
We are working on several Blog posts, me and Jack, that will cover a lot of the new functionality in the 2009 version.
To get something up here during this "working period" I thought of this nice tool to get an overview of all drawings open on you computer.
As all users of AutoCAD knows, there are several tools at the very bottom of the screen, OSnap, Ohrto etc etc. Now we have a few new ones again.
Check this one out;
If you have some drawings open like this (three in this case),
Check the bottom of the screen, to the right side. There is an icon showing a symbol like a "book".
When you click it you will get an fast overview of all drawings currently open, and also their Layouts etc shows above the drawing.
Hoover over the Layouts for the drawing and you will get it magnified - select it by clicking on it - or use the direct "Print" as seen by the icon in the image below. Nice tool.
Promise to be back soon with some more "Civil related" stuff here... ;-)
Cheers / Ove
