Several AutoCAD Civil 3D templates are included out-of-the-box.

AutoCAD Civil 3D includes drawing templates based on the National CAD Standard (NCS) version 3.1. The

following templates are included:

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS Base

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS LDT

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Imperial) NCS Extended

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS Base

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS LDT

_AutoCAD Civil 3D (Metric) NCS Extended

The names of these templates indicate some of their settings.

The metric or imperial label indicates the main unit of measure.

The ‘Base’ templates contain a Basic style for each object.

The ‘Extended’ templates contain an extended set of styles and settings.

The ‘LDT’ templates replicate the look of AutoCAD Land Desktop profiles, sections, points, and label

styles.

Note:

These templates do not contain styles named ‘Standard.’ If you base a new drawing on a non-Civil 3D drawing

template, such as acad.dwt, then styles named ‘Standard’ are created by default in the new drawing.
