Template choices in Civil 3D

Civil 3D provides several drawing templates based on National CAD Standards.
These templates contain many pre-defined styles for typical use in the land
development industry. Use one of these templates as a starting point to become
familiar with styles.

Description

Template

This template contains a basic style for
every element. It is designed for the CAD

NCS Base

manager who wants to build a style cata-
log from scratch. This template should be
used only by experienced Civil 3D users
because there is little material in the tem-
plate file to modify.

This template contains styles that reflect
the built-in appearance of the AutoCAD

NCS LDT

Land Desktop profiles, sections, points, and
label styles. This template provides a famil-
iar feel to the software, making it easier for
you to move to Civil 3D and get acceptable
results quickly and easily.
