Use AutoCAD Civil 3D plan production tools to quickly create construction documents from drawings.
You can create plan/profile, plan-only, profile-only, and section sheets. The workflow is different for each. Your drawing must contain certain data before you can use the plan production tools. In addition, you must use a template that is configured for the type of sheet you are creating. The prerequisites are slightly different depending on the type of sheets you want to create.
