This tutorial demonstrates how to perform some optional tasks that can make annotating your drawing easier.
First, you will create external references (Xrefs) to drawings that contain the objects that you will annotate in later Labels and Tables tutorials. Second, you will learn how to use the AutoCAD Civil 3D ribbon to locate all of the annotation commands.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Understanding Labels and the AutoCAD Help topic Attach Drawing References (Xrefs).
Topics in this section
- Exercise 1: Attaching Drawings as Xrefs for Annotation
In this exercise, you will attach several drawings to one drawing. By attaching drawings, you can annotate multiple large objects in a single compact drawing.
