i have provide some helpful information for C3D 2011 below. I would also like to add that the stage storage features has been incorporated into the ribbon. In addition, the ability to import and export Hec-Ras data has also been added to the ribbon. I think some techs and engineers will love that.

For those that don’t know if your home PC or workstation at work meets all the requirements for windows 7, I have provided a link below for the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor program.
The link below is for Windows XP mode which allows you to have Windows 7 benefits and still running older Windows XP programs.
QUESTIONS:
Have you ever had a parcel segment where the callout was correct but the text orientation was in the wrong direction? Here is one way to fix that problem. See video below. On a quick note, it’s usually best to convert lines to parcels than to use polylines.
Tonight I learned about some interesting features with PDF files in C3D 2010. As we all know creating PDF files of our drawings,exhibits and plans sheets has become one of the best and fastest way to exchange data information between client, developers, architects, and engineers. C3D 2010 comes with a new PDF print driver, which comes with the new release of the underlying AutoCAD software. One of the most unique feature is the inclusion of layers in the PDF output for control of visibility. What this means that some of the C3D objects are carried over into the PDF file as layers which allows the user to turn off and on in the PDF reader. I have provide a short video demonstration below of how it work. Enjoy.
