What Instructors Say

After trying many Civil 3D textbooks and training materials in my classes I have found A Practical Guide to AutoCAD Civil 3D to be comprehensive and detailed yet not overwhelming. This book is organized the way a professional would develop a civil engineering project giving clear and concise steps, exercises, and guides along the way to quick proficiency in using AutoCAD Civil 3D. The best on the market! I continue to recommend this guide to my colleagues.

Rick Ellis is one of the leading authorities on Civil Engineering & Surveying software in the United States and the author of the Practical Guide series. He lectures and teaches seminars across the country. I have attended his seminars. The textbooks Rick Ellis has written have been an exceptional addition to my classroom. They are written with thought and imagination. They are direct and to the point. They are easy for the students to follow yet challenging enough to keep the students interested and using their skills and learning to think through exercises. I would suggest all Civil Engineering and Surveying professors review his books. Once read and reviewed I would venture to say, they will be using them in the classroom.

More About The Book

Learn to leverage the power of AutoCAD Civil 3D with this book. Digging Into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2011 takes you through a complete project while you learn the fundamentals of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

One of the biggest challenges for users migrating from 2009 or earlier releases of Civil 3D is learning the completely redesigned interface featuring the ribbon. To be productive in this version you will need to be able to find familiar commands, as well learn new ones. This book features rewritten exercises, with all new screen captures to guide you through the new ribbon interface and build the comfort level needed to be productive in Civil 3D.

One of the most important features in Civil 3D is Styles. Styles control the display, labeling, and in some cases the geometric properties of Civil 3D objects. This book exposes you to many different object and label styles as you work through the project, teaching you the concepts within the context of an ordinary workflow.

Since many of you are transitioning from Land Desktop, many tips are included to make this process easier.

This is an update to our popular Level 1 book for Civil 3D 2010.
