Any table created in Civil 3d should be able to be easily exported to EXCEL or CSV or maybe even converted into a regular Autocad Table…

There are a few alternatives for now. The best one I have found is the “Table Exporter” App. Available for free from the Autodesk App EXchange.

Download “Table Exporter” here

Once installed it provides a tool in the ribbon the dumps your table straight into excel! Great App!

Another alternative is you can use the COT.lsp, link below.

Basically explode the table twice, use the COT.lsp to convert it to an Autocad Table, then right click-> export…

Download COT.lsp (convert to table)

An extremely annoying feature of Civil 3D tables is that row spacing or horizontal/vertical margin spacing can’t be controlled. I consider this a bug…

This would be awesome… the ability to generate a dynamic object dependency graph in Civil 3D. Not only that but an editable object dependency graph!!

• You could change the dependent surfaces of a volume surface by deleting/drawing arrows..
• You could change the build definition of objects with a properties box on the side
• Link objects to quantity takeoff reports etc

Really a lot of things you could do here if you put enough of thought into it..

Be awesome if you could calculate material in a shape code above/below a surface

If the build definitions for surfaces where in the properties dialog box and they could be batch edited by selecting multiple surfaces.. that would save so much time!

Instead I have to right click properties on every single surface to do this!!

Managing materials in the Quantity Take off Browser could use a lot of work..

Great additions would include

• Find/Replace Ability
• Batch Replacement Ability
• Use of delete key to remove entries
• Been able to select multiple entries at once

Be awesome if you could match parameters between corridor regions. As in a different corridor!

It would be also handy if this could be done in the prospector as well..Maybe on the right click menu.
