When attending software training, there is never enough time to learn everything an application has to offer. In many cases, training sessions are only able to focus on “need to know” functionality to accomplish typical workflows.

In our upcoming bi-weekly sessions we plan to explore many Civil 3D, InfraWorks and Cloud Collaboration tools, tips, and shortcuts not typically shown during traditional training sessions. Our goal being that adding more tools to your toolbox will help you gain efficiency and get the most value from your Autodesk investment.

We hope you can attend our next session...

• July 28 - Getting Started with Civil 3D Quantity Take-off - Jeff Bartels

The sessions are only 30 min. and will be 100% live demonstration - no PowerPoint is allowed. We are also more than happy to answer any questions arising from the material!

Accomplish more in a single command using Civil 3D’s Action Recorder

In today's installment, we look at another technique to help you avoid performing the same task multiple times. 

(Because our time is much better spent on things other than constantly reinventing the wheel. :) ) 

In the past we explored similar tools like writing scripts, creating macros, using simple LISP code, and more. 

Each technique has many Pros.  Unfortunately, they all have the same Con.  Each method requires the user to key in command information manually.

Wouldn't it be so much easier if these macros/automations could be created automatically by just recording us while we work?  The answer is definitely Yes, and fortunately for us, it is possible today using the Action Recorder.

Additionally, these recordings can be easily shared with other users by storing them in a central location where everyone has access.

Check out the video below to see it in action!
