ProjectWise delivers both basic and advanced integration for AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Basic integration is the same general integration that ProjectWise provides for AutoCAD and all other supported AutoCAD-based vertical applications. For details, see Using Integrated AutoCAD.

The rest of this section discusses the advanced integration provided for AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Advanced integration provides:

• support for data shortcut / data reference workflows
• support for creation of surfaces
• integration of the Prospector Tree
• a Data Shortcut Project panel on the ProjectWise tab in AutoCAD Civil 3D with the following options:

  Option	Description
  Open	Used to open a data shortcut project stored in ProjectWise.
  Import	Used to import a local data shortcut project to ProjectWise
  Export	Used to export a data shortcut project from ProjectWise
  Repair References	Used to fix broken data shortcut references in the open document

In support of this advanced integration, the following file extension / application associations are added to new / upgraded datasources in ProjectWise Administrator:

• CivilDSProj="AutoCAD Civil3D Data Shortcut Project File"
• MMS="TIN Surface Companion File"
• GRS="Grid Surface Companion File"
• TIN="TIN Surface File"
• DEM="Grid Surface File"

Also, data shortcut project files will have the MIME type 'application/zip.civil3d'.
