Autodesk Civil 3D Styles: A Guide to the Fundamentals

by Mark Scacco.

Autodesk® Civil 3D® software is a state-of-the-art design and drafting application from Autodesk. Built on the familiar AutoCAD® drawing environment, Civil 3D extends the tools and features available to surveyors, engineers, and drafters, enabling them to create dynamically linked models of proposed and existing project elements. In the simplest terms, dynamically linked models are related entities within a drawing that automatically update when changes are made to one of the entities. These entities include drawing objects that comprise the model itself (such as digital terrain models, alignments, and corridors) and the annotation or labels associated with the objects. The appearance and behavior of these objects and labels are controlled by styles. Through styles, Civil 3D gives users great flexibility in the presentation of design elements. To get the most from Civil 3D, users can create customized styles, which, along with various other drawing settings, can be saved in a drawing template file (DWT) for easy reuse. For users who do not need customized styles, Civil 3D comes with a variety of ready-to-use styles and settings. This paper gives an overview of the various settings used to control drawing content, explains how styles fit into the hierarchy of settings, and describes how to get up and running quickly with customized styles.
