Introduction
The Civil 3D® Interface, known as InfoDrainage for Civil3D®, has been designed to allow engineer engineers to exchange information with InfoDrainage by importing and exporting drainage networks within Civil 3D® 2019, 2020 and 2021.
...
The software will recognise its own data so information is maintained should multiple iterations of design be required as is often the case on some developments.
| Note |

| Access to InfoDrainage for Civil 3D® is only available at the Advanced Tier and above. For more information about the various tiers available, refer to InfoDrainage Tiers. |

The This InfoDrainage plugin is designed to work only with Civil 3D® as it utilises the full 3D networks it provides. InfoDrainage continues to Import and Export CAD information from/to DWG/DXF. |
Getting Started
Once installed the plugin will automatically add in the required ribbon when Autodesk® Civil 3D®2019, 2020, or 2021 is launched. This will provide the following ribbon:
The commands are:
Export to InfoDrainage - Export one or more pipe network(s) in the drawing to an IDDX file for use in InfoDrainage.
...
| Function | Command |
|---|---|
| Export to InfoDrainage | INID_ExportToInfoDrainage |
| Import from InfoDrainage | INID_ImportFromInfoDrainage |
