Class Description

Are there some tasks you want to automate for more precision and speed while working in AutoCad Civil
3D software? When should you flex Dynamo’s abilities or develop a custom Add-in with .NET API?
If you have ever wondered when or why you should use one solution over the other, then this session will
help clarify your choices. Some typical scenarios will be discussed, examining two options, and assessing
their pros and cons.
In this session, you will be inspired and equipped to bring automation to your AutoCAD Civil 3D models.
