Examine the data shortcuts in the project 1 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Data Shortcuts collection. Expand the Surfaces and Alignments collections. Notice that data shortcuts have been created for the objects you selected in Step 4. In the next exercise, you will reference these objects in another drawing. 2 Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the Civil 3D Projects folder (page 819)\Tutorial Data Shortcuts Project. Examine the contents of the subfolders: ■ _Shortcuts\Alignments: This folder contains an XML file for each alignment in the source drawing. The XML files identify the path to the drawing that contains the alignment, the name of the source drawing, and the name of the alignment. ■ _Shortcuts\Profiles: This folder contains an XML file for each profile in the source drawing. The XML files identify the path to the drawing that contains the profile, the name of the source drawing, and the name of the profile. ■ _Shortcuts\Surfaces: This folder contains an XML file for the EG surface. ■ Source Drawings: This folder contains the source drawing, which you saved in Step 6. The source drawings should always be saved with the data shortcut project. In a real project, you would save the drawings that contain each object in the subfolders. While it is useful to know that the data shortcut XML files exist, you do not work directly with them in normal data referencing operations. Management of data references is done in Toolspace on the Prospector tab. NOTE Leave Project Management-1.dwg open for the next exercise. To continue this tutorial, go to Exercise 3: Referencing Data Shortcuts (page 188). Exercise 3: Referencing Data Shortcuts In this exercise, you will reference several shortcuts in a new drawing. 188 | Chapter 7 Project Management Tutorials
