Each tutorial set contains exercises that are designed to explore the various features of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

The tutorial exercises are organized in a logical sequence, based on how you typically work with the different types of features. However, you may complete the exercises in any order you choose. After you begin an exercise, you should complete the steps in the order presented. The first steps provide you with the information you need for the later steps in that exercise.

Note: All drawings used in these tutorials are available in the tutorials drawings folder and all source data files are available in the tutorial folder. If you want to save your changes to the tutorial drawings as you work, save them to the My Tutorial Data folder so that you do not overwrite the original tutorial drawings.
