- This week a good size chunk of the UK went under water with some major flooding.
It has been raining here for about two months solid but rather than the normal rain we normally get it has been heavy short storms.
I guess we will be designing some major drainage defences for the rest of the year.
Please bring back some sun, it is supposed to be summer!!!
As the title of this post suggests Service Pack 1 has been released.
This service pack has sorted a number of minor niggles out which you can read in the readme that is also on the same page.
This pack does not include anything for AutoCAD at this stage.
Download the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2008 SP1
Also for everyone in the UK and Ireland, the country kit is now ready and available.
This is an installable that installs to the British version of Civil 3D.
Download the UK and Ireland Country Kit
Included is the main template file, road superelevation standards to DMRB, quantity takeoff styles, reports and the utility to export to Microdrainage 'WinDES' drainage software.
There is also a PDF file that show exactly what is in the template file, so you can see all of the styles before you use them.
Please use this a base for your own company standard.
Everything is 'bylayer' so you can change colour, linetype and on/off in the layer manager.
If you already have your own template file from earlier versions, you can always drag the new feature styles from this one to your own when in Master view in the settings tab.
Please use this kit as it is designed for you and to get to started in Civil 3D straight away.
It is a constantly developing kit (why it is on the web) so look for future updates from this blog!
