AutoCAD® Civil software provides civil engineering technicians, drafters, and surveyors with the tools they need to create coordinated, reliable design information and deliver higher-quality construction documentation for transportation, land development, and environmental projects.

Part of Autodesk’s leading civil engineering solution, AutoCAD Civil streamlines the capabilities found in the more comprehensive AutoCAD® Civil 3D® by providing a focused design and construction documentation solution.

AutoCAD Civil works seamlessly with AutoCAD Civil 3D, sharing the same model-centric technology, so as design changes are made, drafting and construction documentation update automatically boosting productivity and reducing errors and omissions.

Features and Specifications

AutoCAD® Civil software provides civil engineering technicians, drafters, and surveyors with a focused design and construction documentation solution for civil engineering projects.

The capabilities of AutoCAD Civil include:

Surveying & Coordinate Systems

Survey functionality—including direct import of raw survey data, least squares adjustment, coordinate system setting and transformations, editing of survey observations, automated creation of survey figures, and surfaces creation—is fully integrated into AutoCAD® Civil software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, providing you with a consistent design environment. Use the end result—your points, survey figures, and surfaces—throughout the design process. If you introduce additional field data into the project, design elements will update automatically.

Import Raw Survey Data
Map Check
Traverse and Least Squares Adjustment
Survey Figures
Coordinate Geometry (COGO)
Large Surfaces Support
Support for GPS Machine Control
Set Coordinate Systems
Coordinate System Transformations
Points
Extended Survey Data

Design

Streamline and accelerate your workflows with AutoCAD® Civil software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software. Use the purpose-built tools to create coordinated, reliable design information and automate design tasks for a wide range of projects, including land development, environmental, and road and highway design. The model-centric technology at the core of AutoCAD Civil and Civil 3D helps to keep designs and documentation coordinated so you can immediately understand the impact of changes and evaluate more design alternatives.

Documentation

Complete your civil engineering project by creating and delivering construction documentation faster and with fewer errors. AutoCAD® Civil software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software help speed up this phase of your projects by dynamically connecting design and documentation, automating much of the process. Whenever you enter a change order, the documentation and reports update automatically—reducing errors and omissions.

Data Management & Team Coordination

With AutoCAD® Civil software and AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software, your entire team can work from the same consistent, up-to-date model. Team members can stay coordinated throughout all phases of the project, from survey to construction documentation. This scalable approach to data management and team coordination addresses the needs of any organization, regardless of size or organizational structure.
