AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 NEW FEATURES

Here is some quick information about the new features coming out in Civil 3D.  I will post several videos and blogs coming up in the next couple weeks.  I think this will be by far the best version of Civil 3D to come out.  So look forward to being blasted with information soon!!!

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 NEW FEATURES

Corridor modeling enhancements
Experience greater flexibility when designing and displaying corridor models.
  • Corridor frequency (target and baseline)
  • Corridor sampling improvements
  • Retain corridor targets when substituting a subassembly

Profile layout enhancements
Experience greater efficiency when creating profiles.
  • Extend curves and tangents to profile extents
  • Create Free curve using Pass Through point
  • Change Parameter Constraint (selected curve)
  • New “Profile Locking” controls and display notifications for impacted Vertical Alignment entities if Horizontal Alignment changes



Production drafting enhancements
Create production deliverables more efficiently.
  • Re-associate various Surface and Alignment labels to different Civil 3D source objects
  • Stagger “Corridor Point” section labels


User Interface
Work more efficiently on daily tasks.
  • Improved consistency between the AutoCAD Civil 3D and AutoCAD ribbon / command set.
  • Improved graphics, enhanced visual feedback and object selection.

Subassembly Composer
Build custom subassemblies more easily. Improvements includsupport for “Voids” in shapes, Axis of Rotation, and Rail Cant.

Geographic Location (Online Map Data)             
Geographic Location functionality is significantly streamlined and enhanced including a new capability to capture and embed Online Map Data (e.g., aerial map information) for offline viewing and plotting.




Reality Capture
Improved performance and more flexibility when working with point cloud files.

Interoperability and Data Exchange
Help improve collaboration with new and enhanced functionality.
  • Enhanced export capabilities for DWG and DGN
  • Export Civil 3D model elements (corridor models, surfaces, alignments/profiles, and gravity and pressure pipes) and 3D solid AutoCAD modeling objects to Keyhole Markup Language (KML).
  • Open and edit AutoCAD Civil 3D 2015 drawings in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 and 2013 software.
