Civil 3D: How to add Dynamic Reference Grids, Scale Bars and North Arrows - 2 Minute Tuesday
Hey Everybody,

Brandon here back with another new 2 minute Tuesday, though to be fair, this one isn't even close to 2 minutes. But I think you'll really enjoy it. It covers 3 great layout tools in Civil 3D.

In today's video, I go over how to automatically add reference grid lines and coordinates to you drawings in layout space that are linked and update automatically. I also show you how to add in an auto-updating north arrow and scalebar to your drawing helping speed up your process as well as help your drawings look more professional. All of these tools are dynamically linked to your viewport, this means for example if you change the scale of your drawing, the scalebar will update automatically.

Don't forget to let me know what AutoCAD tip, trick or tutorial you'd like to see in the next one!



Cheers and thanks for watching
