30+ Civil 3D / AutoCAD Tips & Tricks in 30 Minutes! 

Jeff Bartels is officially the GOAT CAD wizard! I never leave a video of his without learning something useful that helps me in my day to day use of this software. Tons of respect and appreciation for Jeff and Jerry Bartels and their generous sharing of knowledge. Much

I want everything to be taught in jeff’s voice

Excellent. Thank you so much. Greetings from Colombia, South America.

The Bruce Lee sketch was over the top in an awesome way. Keep 'em coming!

Jeff you're the best teacher. I'm brazillian and I don't speak english fluently but I can I understand your lessons!! Just Amazing!! Thanks

Jeff, I've been running ACAD since 1987. There has never been a training session that you have ever taught, where I don't learn something new!! LOL. thanks so much. You tube has been proliferated with thousands of videos for green horns. finally I find the 30-min workout series, and its so nice to have some content developed for experienced operators.

This Tutorial is worth 100$ in my country... Thanks Jeff for this free tutorial...

Decided to visit these comments in the middle of my work day to thank you. I've already used the search tool in the header several times and have been copying layouts with the cntrl+click drag a lot. Seriously love these videos! Despite using CAD for several years I JUST realized that I can pan orthogonally by clicking pan, and then holding shift. Normally combos with clicks you hold the key down first, which would result in a 3D rotate. My point in this being, that perhaps navigation should be a portion of a future video. Seems like something super basic, but that makes it easy to overlook things. Big thanks Jeff! Love these videos.

Appreciation goes to these Bartels Brothers. From India

Thank you so much Jeff you're the best teacher in Civil 3D I improve my skills and I learn so much from you every day

It never fails...I learn something new from every single one of your videos. Great stuff Jeff!

Thanks Jeff I’ve learnt so much from you over the years.

That was amazing. I’ve been using AutoCAD since release 10 in 1989 so thought a few tips might be new. They all were! They all make perfect sense. Many thanks. This is wonderful stuff.

Thank you for the video...as always, they are awesome!

Thank You Jeff, it is Greatfull to have your youtube channel and see this tips

Thank you Jeff for explaining in a very simple way, straight to memory

I love this 30 minutes workout it is packed with alot of info. Thanks

Brilliant as ever. Thank you Bartels.

really fantastic demonstration, lots of time saving tricks, id love to see more 30 minute tips/tricks content!

So many great tips, watching these sessions is a great use of 30 mins

Great job, great tips and shortcuts. Thank you

Priceless content! As someone who never used Vanilla AutoCAD but started my career straight away in Civil 3D (which I think has benefited me greatly with regard to my learning all the ins and outs of Civil 3D) I find I am often slowed up by the basic (often tedious) AutoCAD tasks every project still requires. These sessions are goldmines to a user like me as they reveal more efficient workflows that I would have never found on my own or even on the Autodesk Knowledge Network as I wouldn't have known what to look for. Very awesome and generous of you to share. Greatly appreciated.

Wow! This was amazing. Some of these tips could have saved me hours. Please continue sharing and keep up the good work. Thanks for these videos

Wow you should teach everything! Aside from the information, the way you engage with our attention is a work of art THANK YOU!

great tips! seeing a lot of new tricks in here. Thank you so much!

Thanks again!

Hi Jeff, you're doing a great job.

Great stuff, Thanks

Dangit man... I clicked on this thinking "I know *a lot* about C3D, but I might pick up a thing or 2 here"... You've blown my mind with many of these. I've already taken a sheet-full of notes to pass on to my coworkers. This is gonna make me look brilliant! Thanks for the video!

Dear Jeff I don't know how to say, you are wonderful teacher and my father of cad. Sooner or later i will follow you path and release cad in our language. Thank you

WOW! love the SCR (script) had no idea Autocad did this. I would love to know more.

THE FINAL WAS AWESOME!!!

Excellent video!

I would really enjoy a video about scripts! pretty please.

Big thanks!

Thank you MR jeff you are the best one *Egyptian surveyor

Hey Jeff, you're really a rock star to me! I just came across this extremely usefull content and I'd like to know where can I find more. Thank you for posting your knowledge and expertise.

Very good tutorial، no wasted time. Thanks

You are awesome *Jeff Sir*

Thank you !

Excellent again..love the Viewport trick!

I love your videos. Thanks for share your knowledge

Thank you Jeff, and Jerry, for your excellent videos. I have learned so much from you. I'm curious if you might have colleagues that provide similar content but focused on Plant 3D, as I also use that regularly at work. Thanks again. Cheers!

Very good tricks & Infos....Thanks a lot.

thank you sir, veri usefull

Jeff, I always love your lessons. Unfortunately my brain is not longer what it once was and I have trouble remembering what I saw. While this is true for all your presentations, this one in particular would be more valuable with a listing of the tips presented.

good stuff Jeff. This dinosaur picked up a few nuggets!

outstanding

Thank you so much sir.

please like videos he is deserving more than likes

You guys are pumping these out too fast! I still have the last one to catch up on. Once my grant application cad projects are done ill catch up xD

класс, буду пересматривать периодически всё сразу не запомнить

Very nice

Sir Jeff Bartles and his brother Jerry Bertles are my best tutors of AutoCad C3D & AutoDesk Infraworks

3:30 I have a different behaviour when double clicking the name bar. The pallets end up stacking as split windows, each too small to be useable. I like the pallets on the left hand side are accessible in a 'ribbon style', rather than stacked or auto-hidden. Is this a setting or variable somewhere?

For missing objects I use XL command to draw to interaction lines by xl command

hello friend, I have a few questions related to civil 3d. like this. Can Civil 3D create two surfaces at once and calculate the volume based on the center line that was made? then cross-section can be displayed both pieces from the first surface and the second surface in one working drawing at the same time with each volume per station

Ser, you are master Bruce Lee for Civil3D.

Michael Robbins Hi Jeff, I there a way to populate a table with the autocad components for an intersection design like a roundabout,. We ended up list each one individually and manually populating a table. Please advise. I did not want to make alignments for each piece of curbing, etc. but needed to just select and item and populate a table with it. Thanks for all your help.

Jeff can u make a lesson on Pressure Networks?

Hi I have one doubt, is it possible create alignment from objects along with transition??

👍

Hi Jeff, any tutorial videos you recorded in metric please? how much would it cost?

Subscribed because Bruce Lee

hi jeff any videos regarding track design

Hello Mr.Jeff...Do you provide online training for Civil 3D ?

They can teach you the seasoning but you gotta learn the sauce yoursef

Ughh I wish Adsk would make a Civil Suite of tools in Revit that would work like Civil 3D. Revit site tools are sooooo bad!
