What’s New in Civil 3D 2025?
Civil 3D has long stood as the preferred design tool for civil engineers. However, dealing with intricate projects containing sizable design files can still result in significant time investments when opening, editing, and saving.
Autodesk has diligently worked to enhance the speed of Civil 3D operations, aiming to empower users to complete their projects promptly and within budget constraints, particularly for routine tasks.
- Coordinate system modernization: improved the UI, making it more intuitive and easier to use
- Multi-baseline corridor setup: with this improvement, designers don’t have to wade through the “pick and click” process when setting up a corridor model that has multiple baselines. With a single click you can now set up these elements in one go.
- MMS file saving: now, MMS files are only saved when the surface is modified. This one change will reduce Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) file processing time dramatically.
- Esri ArcGIS® basemaps: to help designers and engineers visualize terrain, streets, and structures, Autodesk has added five Esri basemaps to the Civil 3D ribbon under the Geolocation tab:
1. Open streets
2. Esri streets
3. High-resolution satellite and aerial imagery
4. Light and dark grey monochrome maps
