That’s because Civil 3D 2023 introduces some great improvements for working with and editing Pressure Pipes in Profile.įirst, when you select the “Design” Profile that follows the top of the Pipes, you no longer have 50 gazillion PVIs that you don’t need. This is where the really cool stuff comes in for Pressure Networks (in my humble opinion). Pipes can now be deleted from the end of a Pipe Run, and the Pipe Run will still remain intact! Also, if there were any Fittings or Appurtenances on that deleted Pipe and they are no longer connect to the Run, they are just automatically removed.

New grips exist to allow for easier rotation (Fittings only), flipping, and sliding of Fittings and Appurtenances once they have been placed.

Elbows, Tees, etc.) can be added to the end of Pipe Runs, and Runs can now be continued on the other side of the Fitting Below, I’ve listed some of the best enhancements to Pressure Networks in these two updates: 2022.1 While is important to note that Civil 3D 2023 does include the updates that were made in 2022.1, Autodesk did not stop there. have both continued that progress with the addition of new improvements and upgrades.

Pressure Network Improvements (2022.)Ĭivil 3D 20 introduced great enhancements to the Pressure Network functionality. This also means that we have backward compatibility for one more year! So any drawing you create and save in Civil 3D 2023 can still be opened in previous versions as far back as Civil 3D 2018. Civil 3D is using the AutoCAD 2018 DWG format for at least one more year. Is there an echo in here? Didn’t I say that last year? And the year before? Yes, I said it back then and I get to say it again. Still the same DWG format and backward compatibility! Now that it has arrived, let’s take a look at some of the key things to know about this new version. As usual, new versions of Autodesk’s products have been released this Spring, including Civil 3D 2023! In addition to performance enhancements, Autodesk concentrated this year on adding or fixing functionality based on requests from the users.
