This add-on provides an intuitive, tabbed interface for reviewing and editing model data. In 2022, it added support for Pressure Networks , allowing users to view dynamic profiles, edit properties globally, and generate custom reports for pressure pipe runs.
Users reported faster drawing open and save times. Performance tests on customer datasets showed a reduction in overall task time by up to 50% compared to the initial release.

New enhancements allow for snapping to specific angles, adding PVI bends, and better flexibility in layout editing. Performance and Workflow Upgrades
Expanded capabilities now accommodate complex geometry for interchanges and ramps. It supports compound curves, spirals, and combinations for loops and connection ramps, giving designers greater control over transportation layouts.
The corridor engine was updated to sort rebuild tasks based on dependency relationships, reducing unnecessary regenerations. Corridor Targeting also received a modal interface that allows users to interact with the drawing while the target mapping dialog remains open.
Autodesk Civil 3D 2022 serves as a pivotal release for civil engineers and designers, introducing significant automation tools and performance enhancements aimed at streamlining complex infrastructure workflows. This version focuses on improving design efficiency through advanced grading tools, expanded transportation geometry, and deeper integration with the Autodesk AEC Collection .
