Interoperability Between Versions

This topic describes the behavior of certain features when a drawing is worked with in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 and in prior versions of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Section View Direction

Drawings which have the Section View Direction specified as Right To Left will revert to a Left To Right view direction when the drawing is opened in a prior version of AutoCAD Civil 3D. The Right To Left view direction will be restored when the drawing is re-opened in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016.

Crossing Pipe Labels

Crossing pipe labels are displayed as proxy objects when a drawing which contains crossing pipe labels is opened in a prior version of AutoCAD Civil 3D. The labels will be restored when the drawing is re-opened in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016.
