AutoCAD Civil 2010

The better AutoCAD® software for civil engineering design and documentation.

AutoCAD® Civil 2010 software, the better AutoCAD® software for civil engineering design and construction documentation, helps civil engineering technicians, drafters and surveyors complete transportation, land development, and environmental projects faster. AutoCAD Civil boosts productivity and streamlines time-consuming design tasks such as intersection and corridor design, parcel layout, pipes, and grading with purpose-built tools and customizable standards. Deliver more consistent construction documentation with styles-based drafting and wizard-driven plans production, and improve coordination with design and drafting that remain synchronized.  Accelerate learning in a familiar AutoCAD® environment with tools and processes you already know.
