Autodesk^® AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^® 2016 Productivity Pack 3 consists of the following features:

1. Traverse Editor - Create points, lines, and curves representing traverse legs and sideshots using a broad set of COGO input and editing tools. The traverse can be used to generate polylines, COGO points, and a .TRV2 traverse file. Note that this new tool provides significant improvements over the COGO Editor that was included in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016 Productivity Pack 1.
2. Traverse Adjustment - Perform traverse adjustment and generate reports using Compass, Transit, Crandall, and Grant Line adjustment methods. Update COGO points and traverse geometry within the drawing.
3. Subassemblies – A new library of subassemblies is included that you can integrate into your projects. All of this content was created in Autodesk Subassembly Composer and can be edited and expanded to meet your individual or organizational needs. Not that there are separate metric and imperial libraries and detailed Help that you can access to learn about the behavior of each subassembly.

Autodesk^® AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^® 2016 Productivity Pack 3.1 consists of the following updates:

• Traverse Editor
  • When importing polylines with arc segments the curve length is correctly added into the input grid.
  • If an initial backsight is not set and a turned angle is used on the first leg of the traverse, angle will turn from North instead of from East.
  • The angle fields support the use of multiple operands when doing calculations. For example 30 + 30 - 5
