The 2027 releases from Autodesk support NET 10, and in this environment serialised files are no longer supported. We use serialised files for different data file storage and settings purposes.

Check out the performance improvements we've introduced into Civil Site Design V24.20 when you're working in the Vertical Grading Editor window.
The Survey String Settings command is key to controlling how your Point Codes are used in the creation of breaklines, addition of offsets and the creation of 2D and 3D linework.
Stringer Topo V24.20 has been released to support the BricsCAD V24 (as well as current releases of Autodesk software), including a number of new and improved features.
We've enhanced the superelevation tools to make it easier for you to quickly and easily assess output of rules-based superelevation, and to make it simple for you to use this tool to vary pavement crossfalls and widths.
