This tutorial demonstrates how to use AutoCAD Civil 3D to save commonly used corridor assemblies, and then share them with other users.
You can create an unlimited number of corridor assemblies, with either the subassemblies that are shipped with AutoCAD Civil 3D or custom subassemblies that you have created. You can save assemblies to a tool palette or catalog; either of these locations are convenient places to store commonly used assemblies available for reuse. You can also publish a tool palette or catalog to make it available for other users.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Sharing Assemblies.
Topics in this section
- Exercise 1: Saving Assemblies to a Tool Palette
In this exercise, you will create a tool palette, and then save the assemblies that are included in the sample drawing.
- Exercise 2: Copying Assemblies to a Tool Catalog
In this exercise, you will create a tool palette within a new tool catalog, and then add assemblies to it. After assemblies have been added to a tool catalog, you can share the tool catalog with other users.
- Exercise 3: Publishing a Tool Catalog
In this exercise, you will publish an assembly tool catalog so that it can be shared with other users.
- Exercise 4: Installing a Tool Catalog
In this exercise, you will add an assembly tool catalog to your personal Content Browser catalog library.
- Exercise 5: Moving Assemblies from a Tool Catalog to a Tool Palette or Drawing
In this exercise, you will move assemblies from a tool catalog into a new drawing. Then, you will move a tool palette from Content Browser to the current tool palette group.
