Civil 3D 2020

Note, it was released on April 10^th and it may not appear immediately in your Desktop App or even Autodesk Manage for a day or two.

Here are the features of note in this release:

• Of course, everything that is new for AutoCAD.
• The Civil object format has not changed.  You can share files between users of Civil 3D 2018, 2019, and 2020.
• The Export Civil 3D drawing to AutoCAD tool has been overhauled and it should yield more predictable results.
  • We now have the option to export feature lines as 2D or 3D objects.
• The survey database is now SQLite, different from SQL Compact like previous releases.  Note, the default Working Folder has changed.
  • Your existing survey databases can be converted to the new format after downloading the conversion tool and running the Migrate tool.

• Changes to the gravity network analysis tool and SSA.
• Dynamo is a workflow-based programming tool and it is available for 2020.  It must be installed using the Desktop App or from Autodesk Account.  After installation, the tool is available in the Manage Ribbon.  When run, users have access to many resources such as tutorials, primers, and more.
