Civil 3D – Customer Screenshots

The Civil 3D Product Design Team is gathering a collection of pictures of Civil 3D in action to broaden our view of our customers’ work environment(s). We are looking for screenshot(s) that best captures your normal application setup, including things like: number and size of monitors, resolutions, chosen workspace, toolbar arrangement, palette setup, drawing real estate, etc. If you have more than one “normal” setup, please send them all. We will use these screenshots to aid our design decisions concerning the user interface of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

As a participant in this Project, we ask you to take a screenshot(s) of your working environment; preferably while you have a project/drawing open. (Note: If the project contains sensitive material, please use a non-sensitive project or scale the model so vulnerable details can’t be seen. Autodesk respects the confidentiality of our customers and will only use your screenshot as a part of our internal design process.)

How to Submit the Screenshot?

On the Subject line of your email please specify the following:

  • Product, release (e.g. "Civil3D 2008");
  • Number of monitors (e.g. "2 monitors");
  • Your Country/product language (e.g. "Australia/English");
  • (Optional) Your firm’s name (e.g. "Autodesk")

EXAMPLE:

AutoCAD Civil 3D ScreenShot

Here are a couple three ways to make a screenshot (the instructions are the same if you are using a single monitor or dual monitors):

  • Using Outlook. With the Autodesk application active, hit the Print Screen (PrtSc; Prt Scr) key on your keyboard. Paste the screenshot directly in the message pane of Outlook.
  • Using a word processing program or image editor. With the Autodesk application active, hit the Print Screen (PrtSc; Prt Scr) key on your keyboard. Paste the screenshot in an image editing program such as Paint or Photoshop. You can also paste the screenshot directly into Word. Save the file as a BMP, PNG, or if using Word, DOC.
  • Additional options available via BLAUGI. Last chance to grab an excellent freeware screen capture utility.

Attach to an email and send to: Civil 3D Screenshot at Autodesk

Workaround for AutoCAD Map 3D 2008 bug

I just got Map 3D 2008 installed a few weeks ago and was playing around with the features that were new to me and discovered a 'bug'. If you click on View Scale>Custom in the status bar when the Task Pane is not docked, the resulting dialog displays halfway off the screen. I've posted some workarounds in this AUGI Forum thread.
