Getting Started Tutorials
These tutorials will get you started with the application workspace and some important design
tools and tasks.
In AutoCAD Civil 3D, design data is organized as object collections in the Toolspace window.
In Toolspace, the Prospector tab displays the hierarchy of design objects, such as points,
surfaces, and alignments. The Settings tab displays a hierarchy of object styles, including
styles for labels and tables.
The Panorama window displays data in a horizontally oriented grid, which makes it easier to
see many columns at once. Each type of data displayed in Panorama uses a separate tab,
known as a vista, that is specific to that data type.
There are many ways to view AutoCAD Civil 3D objects, including Visual Styles, Named
Views, and the Object Viewer.

Tutorial: Understanding the AutoCAD Civil 3D User
Interface
In this tutorial, you will examine some of the major components of the AutoCAD
Civil 3D user interface.
The AutoCAD Civil 3D user interface enhances the standard AutoCAD
environment with additional tools for creating and managing civil design
information.
Standard AutoCAD features, such as the command line and ribbon, work the
same way in AutoCAD Civil 3D as they do in AutoCAD.
