POI Civil 3D Point Tutorials

Point Definition In AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, you can create, work with, and manage points using a variety of commands and tools. The points created by AutoCAD® Civil 3D® are called Coordinate Geometry (COGO) points, which are very different from AutoCAD point nodes. AutoCAD point nodes have only coordinate data (XYZ values) associated with them. However, COGO points, in addition to coordinate data, have a variety of properties associated... [Read More...]
