Wiley Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 978-0-470-88418-8 ユーザーズマニュアル

Understanding Civil 3D’s controls and operation is critical to mastering it. With its dizzying array 
of options and settings, getting Civil 3D to look and feel comfortable can take some effort. 
Learning how to use its numerous dialogs and tool palettes, as well as the Ribbon, is critical to 
driving Civil 3D and getting feedback about your design. This chapter explores the look and feel 
of Civil 3D as a CAD program, the unique components that make up the Civil 3D interface, and 
the creation of a working environment that matches the way you design.

By the end of this chapter, you’ll learn to:

Find any Civil 3D object with just a few clicks

•u

Modify the drawing scale and default object layers

•u

Modify the display of Civil 3D tooltips

•u

Add a new tool to the Toolbox

•u

Create a basic label style

•u

Create a new object style

•u

Navigate the Ribbon’s contextual tabs

•u

The most obvious change to the Civil 3D interface over its predecessors is the context-sensitive 
Ribbon. Many of Civil 3D’s design tools can now be accessed via the Ribbon. A facelift to the 
Toolspace and enhancements to the general look and feel of the Civil 3D workspace combine to 
make this release easier to navigate than any of its predecessors. Figure 1.1 shows the Civil 3D 
palette sets along with the AutoCAD Tool Palettes and context-sensitive Ribbon displayed in a 
typical environment.
