Object Snaps are arguably the most important feature in the AutoCAD platform. Their ability to “lock on” to precise coordinates represents the foundation on which all geometry is created, edited, and queried.
Civil 3D also relies on Object Snaps to model civil infrastructure designs. In addition, Civil 3D provides its own collection of engineering related snaps called Transparent Commands. Using Transparent Commands, civil engineers can select from 20+ options including: Northing/Easting, Bearing/Distance, Station/Offset, Profile Station/Elevation, etc.
At our next 30min. Workout, (Thursday October 15th) we’ll explore Civil 3D’s collection of Transparent Commands as well as a few best practices for their application. If you’d like to attend the live session, please use the link below to register...
We look forward to seeing you there!
