Download free Introducing AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009 pdf ebook. If you haven’t hidden your head in the sand the last few years, you know the world of land development is all about going 3D. It’s the next jump from the board to CAD to the model. The magic question of course is, “How do I get there?” If you’re part of the Autodesk world—as so many engineers, land planners, and surveyors are—then the answer to that question is AutoCAD Civil 3D.

This book covers the basics of creating, editing, and using the elements that make up the Civil 3D universe. You won’t find every setting covered in detail or presented with the most complex uses. You’ll find straightforward examples and language that give you a clear path to understanding and a level of confidence to begin taking on bigger tasks within your Civil 3D designs.
