Don't used Civil 3D without a decent drawing template!

Rule number 1: Don't use Civil 3D without a decent drawing template. Many first time Civil 3D users in Australia find it a hard program to use, as it doesn't produce easily the stuff the industry expects on civil drawings. Do your self a favour and use these templates from an Australian based company, civil survey solutions:

Using a decent "Australian Standard" template saved my life in the early years of Autodesk Civil 3D learning.
