Using an industry-proven, ‘dynamic engineering model, AutoCAD Civil 30 links design and production drafting, greatly reducing the time it takes to implement design changes and evaluate multiple scenarios. A change made in one place Instantly Uupdstes an entire project, helping you complete projects faster, smarter, and more accurately, All team ‘members work from the same consistent, up-to-date model, so they stay synchronized throughout all project phases 20 Objectives This intensive training session is customized to meet the following objectives: (a) To expose AutocAD Chil 30 technology and solutions provided by It. (b} To synergize AutoCAD Civil 3D with current engineering workflow. (6) To ensure end-users are able to kick-start their preliminary design using AutoCAD Civil 30. (4) To familiarize users on the workflow of simple road design in AutoCAD Civil 3D. 3.0 Training Content Preparation This training should be accompanied by the following training materials: {a}, Training Courseware (this book).
