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...
