Defining Formulas

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Define formulas to modify pay items for use in different situations.

For example, you can use pay item formulas to apply specific masses to volumes, to convert one unit of measurement to another, to apply a pay item to a set volume, or a number of other mathematical operations.

Pay item formulas, unlike other mathematical expressions in AutoCAD Civil 3D (label expressions and design checks), save to a separate FOR file, rather than in the drawing.

Best Practice

Save the pay item formula file in the same location as the drawing with which it is used. If you send the drawing to another user, you must also send the formula file.
