Civil 3D Interoperability – How are YOU Working with others?
Matt’s last post regarding Hydraflow applications and a few other articles I’ve read lately have added to the ideas that have been dancing around in my head regarding Civil 3D interoperability (or lack thereof!) with other application. There are hundreds of add-on applications for Civil 3D and you can find a long list of them [...]

I referenced the FHWA HEC-12 document that outlines the process to turn a handful of rainfall entries into the B, D, and E coefficients. Consider yourself lucky if your regulatory agency actually provide these number.
AutoCloud?
An interesting article came across my desk today. Turns out Autodesk Labs is running a VERY limited test called Project Twitch, offering its products as a web-based service. (Currently offered: AutoCAD, Revit, Inventor, Maya. Why is Civil3D always left out?!?!) Today, we hear a lot about “cloud computing” and how it is going to change [...]
