Civil 3D 2013 has given the user lots of new functionality in terms of editing. One of the newer functions that I have taken advantage of is the naming of assemblies and subassemblies. I routinely rename subassemblies for the purpose of easily finding a target within the corridor mapping. As you can see from the screen capture below, it is very easy to get confused when trying to assign targets to the subassembly.
This new functionality within 2013 gives the user the opportunity to rename both the subasembly and assembly at the actual time of creation. To take advantage of this, the user will access the command settings in the location seen below.
The two options to take note of are assembly group and subassembly name prompt. You will want to toggle both on.
Once the user begins the create an assembly command, they will see this pop up box when picking the first subassembly to attach to the baseline. You will be given an option to rename the assembly as needed.
As you can see from the screen capture below, the user will be given the option to rename each subassembly as they are added.
This new functionality gives the user better control of his or hers corridor at the time of creation.
