to the model space of another drawing. Instead of the project file containing every single line of the survey, the base map, and the utility designs, it would simply "point" to those separate files. Performance Boost
: To display only a specific portion of an Xref, draw a polyline over the desired area, select the Xref, and use the Create clipping boundary option from the contextual ribbon. Critical Civil 3D Considerations
While standard AutoCAD objects are simply viewed, Civil 3D objects (Surfaces, Alignments) have unique behaviors:
