AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 New Interface... How it looks and What I can do with it!!!
Hi everybody!!!... I saw last Friday March 27, a really good webcast hosted by Lucy Huhns (Autodesk Technical Specialist) with Jerry Bartels (Autodesk Technical Specialist) as a guest presenter, and they were talking and showing the New Interface of Civil 3D 2010, the presentation runs for an hours, but I can guarantee you that it's worth your time. As usual they did a great job, so just in case if you missed here it's a link to it, Introducing the New Interface in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Back to Basics…
Hello everybody, at this time I would like to share with you one of my passions… Because not everything can be about work, let me tell you a little bit about me, as a profession I’m a Geological Engineer, probably you don’t know but as Geologist one of our dreams is to see and be at The Grand Canyon… Why???... First of all, beside the fact that it is Spectacular, Amazing and Totally Awesome. The Canyon is the Biggest Stratigraphic Column in the world, what makes it so incredible it's the geological history of its formation, and the geomorphology of the area… So now you know a little more about me and what I love… Hope that you will enjoy the pictures at the South Rim as much as I do… from AU 2008 at Las Vegas and until the next time…

AutoCAD Civil SP1!!!
Hello everyone!... In a continuing effort to provide high quality products, Autodesk has released AutoCAD Civil 2009 Update 1, which fixes or addresses a variety of issues discovered by customers and by Autodesk's internal testing team.
Before applying this update, make sure that any customizations made to the user profile (such as, customizations made to the support file search paths, print file customizations, printer support file paths, redirections, custom template settings, and so on) are exported to a secure location, then imported and reapplied after the update has been successfully installed.
Also... Autodesk released the AutoCAD Civil 2009 Object Enabler; it is a 32-bit freeware application that allows object data created in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2009, AutoCAD Civil 2009, AutoCAD Land Desktop Companion 2009, or AutoCAD Land Desktop 2009 to be accessed outside of those environments. This Object Enabler can only be applied to 32-bit applications in a 32-bit Operating System environment.
As part of the Product Update 1, Autodesk has also decided to make updates to the Object Enabler. The most significant change is that this Object Enabler will now detect and install onto NavisWorks 2009 applications and Impression 2009.
If you are encountering crashes opening drawings from previous versions of Civil products you may need the AutoCAD Civil 2009 Object Enabler Mentor Grid Coordinate System Files. These files will allow the Object Enabler to open previous version drawing files that have a coordinate system assigned to them.
... Please remember to refer first to the README file for installation...
