GETTING DIRTY: THE BASICS OF CIVIL 3D
In addition, right-clicking the individual object in the list view offers many commands unique
to Civil 3D: Zoom to Object and Pan to Object are typically included. By using these commands,
you can find any parcel, point, cross section, or other Civil 3D object in your drawing almost
instantly.

Many longtime users of AutoCAD have resisted right-clicking menus for their daily tasks since
AutoCAD 14. In other AutoCAD products this may be possible, but in Civil 3D you’ll miss half the
commands! This book focuses on the specific options and commands for each object type during
discussions of the particular objects.

Projects
The Projects branch of Prospector is the starting point for real team collaboration. This branch
allows you to sign in and out of Vault, review what projects are available, manage the projects you
sort through for information, check out drawings for editing, and review the status of drawings as
well as that of individual project-based objects.

Data Shortcuts
Simply put, a data shortcut identifies the path to a specific object, in a specific drawing. Many users
have found data shortcuts to be ideal in terms of project collaboration for two reasons: flexibility
and simplicity.

Drawing Templates
The Drawing Templates branch is added more as a convenience than anything else. You can still
create new drawings via the standard File
create new drawings via the standard File
New option, but by using the Drawing Templates
branch, you can do the same thing without leaving Prospector. The Drawing Templates branch
searches the file path specified in your AutoCAD Options dialog and displays a list of all the .dwt
files it finds. You can customize this path to point to a server or other folder, but by default it’s
a local user-settings path. Right-clicking the name of a template presents you with the options
shown in Figure 1.3.
