Transitioning from AutoCAD to Revit presents challenges and new learning curves. While it might seem that embracing Revit means leaving AutoCAD behind and disconnecting from industry peers who still use it, this perspective is not entirely proper. Both software tools can coexist, and Autodesk is at the forefront of industry evolution, ensuring smooth and conscious transitions. You can incorporate AutoCAD details into your Revit project using various methods, including long-term, mid-term, and temporary solutions. Some approaches are more effective than others and may even lead to issues. We will guide you through a step-by-step process to efficiently utilize existing AutoCAD details and convert them seamlessly into Revit. We will outline the most efficient approach to utilize AutoCAD architectural backgrounds for MEP modeling, harnessing the full potential of these two software tools working in tandem. Prior Revit knowledge is desired.

As we integrate digital exchanges into our daily workflows and delivery processes, we need to maintain a good handle on the data associated with our digital assets and files. By continuously analyzing our models and data, not only are we able to maintain high levels of efficiency and productivity, but we are also ensuring that our models and data are suitable for downstream uses. Dynamo and scripting within Civil 3D software can play a key role in the creation, management, quality control, and delivery processes throughout the design lifecycle. In this session, we'll explore several ways design teams can extract, analyze, and react to the data being mined from our Civil 3D models, and set us up for future success along the way.

When challenged to manage building information modeling (BIM) on a project the size of a small city, routine project planning is not enough. This case study will show which current BIM management tools and methods work and which ones fail on a real project of 10 million square feet. Spoiler: There were many broken tools and many crashed computers. We'll show how a small but effective BIM and computational team can save hundreds of thousands of dollars through resource management, technological innovation, failure prevention, team upskilling, and cloud collaboration. We'll also touch on how managers can facilitate the use of computational workflows by being a bridge between users and tools. We want you to leave empowered to tackle BIM on projects of any size and any scale while also knowing how to evolve these methods for the future.

As a civil engineer, you know how essential it is to keep your project organized, especially when it comes to keynotes. Sheet Set Manager in Civil 3D software can be a useful tool for managing sheets, but did you know that you can also use it for keynotes? By hacking Sheet Set Manager using custom subsets with Dynamo, you can quickly and easily add, edit, and manage keynotes across your project. With Dynamo, you can automate many repetitive tasks in Sheet Set Manager, such as adding new keynotes, modifying existing ones, and updating the sheet references. You can also use Dynamo to generate a custom keynote legend that displays all the keynotes used in your project, making it easy to review and manage. By taking advantage of the power of Dynamo, you can simplify your workflow, save time, and ensure accuracy in your keynote management.

Have you thought about using Autodesk Construction Cloud to host Civil 3D files, but don't know if it works? Are you using Civil 3D and Autodesk Construction Cloud and are having difficulties? Come and see how Parsons has implemented Civil 3D and Autodesk Construction Cloud on an infrastructure project. We will show you how to take files and data shortcuts from ProjectWise and put them up on Autodesk Construction Cloud. Then, we'll give you the good, the bad, and the ugly on what we did. But most importantly, you will walk away knowing how to do it the right way.

"What did you do?" I find myself on the phone with a user at least once a week staring at files that tend to be unnecessarily large and cumbersome. In this class we discuss multiple workflows and correction methods to clean up large and corrupt drawings. Having approximately 20 years of experience in the Civil and Land Survey focused on technical support and workflows, I have found several tricks and workflows that can greatly reduce the size of files and prevent file corruption. This becomes an ever-increasing problem as companies start utilizing unconventional storage methods like cloud and remote collaboration.

Blocks are important in AutoCAD software. Working with blocks is not always fun, and can be tedious. There are missed opportunities when objects should be blocks, but are missed or the effort does not justify the reward. And if you always insert a block a certain way, shouldn't AutoCAD just know this? AutoCAD 2024 software introduced machine learning to help productivity. The block-related features got even smarter in AutoCAD 2025. Let's take a deep dive into this. Like what? Finding the blocks to replace is no longer a tedious exercise. AutoCAD now offers assistance by suggesting blocks that are similar to what you've picked or recently placed. AutoCAD can place blocks in a manner similar to a recently placed block. Discover a workflow to convert multiple instances of selected objects into blocks. Or use the AI-driven Object Detection feature to scan your drawing and find objects to be converted into blocks.

Are you manually compiling your Bill of Materials (BOM) or parts list? STOP! There is a better way! If you are modeling your design in Autodesk Inventor, you have everything you need to automate BOM creation, and this class will show you how. In this class, we will learn how to use the BOM manager to… Make sure that all the data is complete. Sort, order, or show the assembly structure in the BOM manager and parts list. Apply item numbering. Export the BOM/parts list for use in other systems. Join us to learn how you can reduce the time you spend on BOM creation so you can focus on designing and engineering! If you are modeling 3D designs in Autodesk Inventor and aren't taking advantage of Automated BOM creation, this class is for you! Attendees are expected to have basic proficiency in Inventor, including navigating the UI, setting up the current project, opening files, and creating part and assembly models

Parametric design tools aren't just for programs like Inventor, Revit, InfraWorks, or Civil 3D software; there's a set of parametric drawing tools that you can use to create dynamic relationships and constraints between objects in AutoCAD software as well. The parametric drawing tools will revolutionize the way that you draw and edit objects in AutoCAD. This class will introduce you to parametric drawing in AutoCAD by using both geometric and dimensional constraints to add intelligence to your objects. You will learn how using AutoConstrain and Infer Constraints modes can help you quickly add constraints and change your process from drafting to modeling. If you've ever wanted geometry in your drawing to update based on changes that you've made to other objects, or if you've wanted to type a new value into a dimension and have the object update based on this new value—then this class is for you.
