New in Collaboration for Civil 3D

Learn about enhancements to Collaboration for Civil 3D workflows.

New in 2023.1

When opening DWG files that have been synced locally, you may observe as much as 25% faster open times when the data contains significant number of data reference relationships.
When using Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D, an XML configuration file can be used to prevent a drawing's view frame template file for sheet creation from being uploaded when saving or dragging and dropping the drawing to Autodesk Docs. Multiple configuration files can be used if needed to support multiple groups or companies. To prevent these files from being uploaded, you can use the new reference type of ‘VIEWFRAME_TEMPLATE’ in the exclusion configuration file. For more information, see To Prevent Reference Templates from Being Uploaded to Autodesk Docs when Using Autodesk Collaboration for Civil 3D.
Note: The above two enhancements require you to have installed Desktop Connector, version 31st May 2022 (v. 15.7.0.1767) or a later version.
Added the ability to plot sheets with large surfaces (MMS and GRS files) using Sheet Set Manager for Web.
Added the ability to plot sheets with data shortcut surfaces using the Sheet Set Manager for Web when the surface is referenced as Reference Only.

Use Sheet Set Manager for Web to display and manage sheet sets in Autodesk Docs.
Aa a light version of the legacy Sheet Set Manager, the Sheet Set Manager for Web displays and manages named collections of drawing sheets stored in Autodesk Docs. Opening a DST file from Autodesk Docs opens the Sheet Set Manager for Web by default.

The Sheet Set Manager for Web provides the following core capabilities:
- Creates and removes sheets and subsets.
- Defines sheet set properties including sheets and subsets.
- Publishes sheet sets to PDF including civil objects.
- Transmits sheet sets.
- Data Locking to support collaborative editing among multiple project members.
