My mistake, Bill. I updated the post. I guess I should have done my research a little bit more. I thought that the word ‘free’ had been thrown around in the lecture but you appear to be right.

These look promising but I believe they are neither free nor easy to simply download and install. It looks like you ahve to contact them to even get a version of the program to install over Civil 3D and/or MAP.

Already here but wide awake at 4am, gotta love jet lag

Too many classes I want to see my schedule can’t handle it, missing some I really want to see due to clashes. Thank god for video downloads.

Definitely looking forward to Cl2674 Ten Practically Awesome Grading Examples and AutoCAD® Civil 3D®: “Curbing” Your Enthusiasm

Karen,
Good question. Which actually raises a bigger issue of some best practices with file structure. I will try to get a blog article written on that.

How does this solution work when multiple arrow head styles are in use in the xref’d source drawing (arrowheads, integrals, dots, etc)?

Murray, give this solution a try and just apply the dot arrowhead instead of a none.

I have a similar problem where my finished grade spot elevations in the base drawing had a “dot” arrowhead assigned for the dragged state, but when the base drawing was attached as an xref, the dot arrowheads turned into regular closed arrowheads

Nice one Joshua. I’ll have to remember that one.

Joshua,
What you term as “old Style” is the only simple way to deal with drawings from different sources. I am presuming that you are talking about a Civil drawing with a survey background.
This practice is needed to separate work that is received from Survey. If you change the survey base that is submitted by a licensed professional, then the responsibility is yours (the Civil Engineer)
