Configure InfraWorks - Civil 3D Exchange Settings Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to set up an object settings file that specifies how InfraWorks data is brought into AutoCAD Civil 3D.

An object settings file specifies what types of objects will be brought into AutoCAD Civil 3D and also specifies settings for the objects. You specify which object settings file to use when you open the InfraWorks model.
