Civil 3D 2025

Well, it’s that time of year again when Autodesk bestows us with the latest release of their flagship Civil Design application. Read on to see which features speak to this blogger.

File Format

This is probably the most-asked question, and I’m happy to say that there is yet again, no format change. We are still on the 2018 format. Good news for everyone!

Performance

Performance has yet again been significantly improved across the board in Civil 3D 2025.0.

Corridors

There is a new corridor creation dialog box that will allow for more efficient creation of corridor with multiple baselines using alignments and feature lines.

Coordinate Systems

New horizontal coordinate systems have been provided.

A new vertical coordinate system workflow exists to specify the survey datum. The new command is GEOCSASSIGN.

Another new system variable named, ENABLEVCSSUPPORT, exists for DEM/GeoTIF files.

Surfaces

Level of detail tools are intended to increase performance by reducing the amount of data displayed on the screen. Note that in 2025.0 ,two previous commands have been removed: LEVELOFDETAIL and LEVELOFDETAILOFF. These are replaced by object-based settings.
