Civil 3D and ArcGIS Connection6/16/2026 When opening a new drawing from the state specific template the coordinate system should already be loaded into the drawing. If for some reason you are starting without one of these you will need to load the NAD83 US foot or International foot coordinate system you wish to work in. If metric is needed then choose metric.With Civil 3D open you will need to be in model space with insert menu click on the Autodesk Connector for ArcGIS. You will see a map show up on your screen mine happens to be in Southwest Idaho/Oregon area. You will need to pan and move into your project area. Once you are there you will pick the box with the blue square to capture the area of the info you are looking for. At this point you will need to navigate on the top left over to Organization tab and scroll down to find CAD Export Map and select. You will then see the layer tree for all the data you have captured. I usually uncheck everything and only choose the items I will need. With that said if this is your first time using this just be aware you are working with 2D data not 3D data unless you have been told that is updated. So all items you choose to import into your drawing space has extended data available but will only allow you to use it or see it if you bring it in as polylines, Cogo points, or Polygons. As you can see above for each point or line work you will have options to change them in the pull down box. Notice when I hit the eye to darken it it would show me the polylines in the map area. You can do this for each layer you wish to or need to bring in.When you are ready to insert there will be steps to manage the items you are bringing in you may want to do. In the lower left select Add to my Design and the next set of options will be available for you to manage the data in your drawing. An Import Layers Template panel will appear for you to designate where you want your info to be added to the drawing. Being a new drawing for you it is important to setup where and how the layers will display in your drawing. Just like most companies have all the layers they want in their template this is to assign this new data to that template layer. If for some reason there is not a layer for the data you want to import you will have to put it on another layer and make the layer you want to move it to after you import it in. So select Add New. It will give you the next layer of the template to add the item importing to the layer you want it to display on. But first you will need to give it a name and notice it will have a template path. Also there are addition tabs for each type of item you bring in so be sure to identify Cogo with the cogo points you are bringing in or you may not see some data. The same will be true for the Polyline, Polygon, Parcel etc Select Add to populate settings. The source layer you type or paste is case sensitive. Next we will add AutoCAD Polylines you will notice there are pull down options in each of the settings for Source Layer, Feature type, layer that I have used. The Query will take you to a screen of pull down for Source Layer names you can copy and paste the case sensitive in with and the priority is for the order of operation in the drawing things happen if needed. Once you setup each category of information you want to bring in recognize that the polygon is not displayed as an option in the tabs to designate to so if I add them to my polyline will they show up? I recommend not to try to bring in polygons and change them to polylines. Also if you think bringing in Feature lines is okay because Civil 3D accepts them think of the use. Feature lines were developed for the 3D application so unless your lines have elevations tied to them this application may not prove beneficial. Also when bringing in feature lines you have no control over the color of the line or line type without exploding it. Ok pick OK to add template I tend to put in project folder. It will take you back to Import Layers once saved and pick Import. It may take a minute to load. Zoom Extents should bring all your linework into view. When bringing in Distribution lines and Service lines as polylines not mentioned above have more data than can sorted into multiple layer. For example, steel, PE, PVC pipe types and various sizes are not able to be divided into all of those locations so I recommend putting them on 0 layer for distribution and make or pick another layer the service pipe. When you click on the line and look at its properties notice the exended data tab on the properties pallet and you can scroll down to find nominal diameter and primary coating to identify the layer to add it too.Recognize some pipe may be marked as “unknown” and may need referenced by revisiting the GIS map. Also if you decide to bring in design distribution or transmission lines there is no size or pipe type but there is a design length that you can import for your project if you are laying new proposed pipe. Again layers will need determined for proposed pipe so a temporary layer will be needed. For the address application to the drawing brought in from the cogo points leave the defaults and only pick the layer you want it to show up on. Now when you pick toolspace and Right click on Point Groups you should see some point groups added. We will reflect on these shortly but for now we need to look at the properties of the address points that we need to show in the drawing. As I pick one notice the raw description is not set. And on the Extended data tab you see the address. If you type the address in the raw description we can then change the point label to show the description on the drawing for each lot that has a service address. So right click on Point Groups in toolspace then double click on Address Point. In the point label style pull-down you can pick description only. Once you have added all the addresses you need to the points raw description in the properties menu you should see them. There may be better ways in the future to show these but currently these are the steps I have found that work with this ArcGIS connect tool.
