I have finished all my subdivisions designs in Civil3D CAD ( roads, profiles, etc...) and am getting ready to "cut" all my sheets (25 sheets) to be able to issue the construction documents.
I have experimented with the Plan Production Tool (Viewframes,Sheets,etc...)
I like the fact that it can actually get the profiles legible at the right scale,etc...
I like the automated features: Matchline Text,etc...

QUESTION: Does any consulting company REALLY use this "wizard" or is there a ?
QUESTION: How can I "edit" the SHEET TEMPLATE that Plan Production Tools is using (I have my own customization I would like to do)...How do I access ALL the Settings for the Plan Production Wizard ?

**NOTE: I feel that the rest of the Civil Engr Indutry is NOT switching to Civil3D but sticking to the LandDesktop Transition..... After several months, I am finally convinced that Civil3D is more flexible....I am all alone in trying to create Construction Documents with Civil3D ?***

	I have been using Civil 3D for years I was in a position to get the company I worked for out of Land Desktop since Autodesk has phased it out anyway. You can adjust your own templates. What I did was create the viewport locations and sizes so I can import that into my drawings and then just x-ref my company borders on the sheets. Makes everything a lot easier. People will change over to civil 3D they just will not advance to newer versions as quickly once they get comfortable with it...
