5 Repetitive Civil Tasks You Can Automate with IMAGINiT Clarity

Civil 3D and AutoCAD project work often comes with a heavy load of repetitive tasks like printing, exporting, transmitting files, and monitoring model health. While these steps are important, they can pull focus away from design and coordination workflows. IMAGINiT Clarity helps reduce that burden through automation, freeing teams to spend more time on design decisions and improving collaboration.

Here are five examples of tasks you can automate:

1. Publishing PDFs
Skip the manual print setup for every sheet set. Clarity can automatically generate PDFs from your Civil 3D or AutoCAD drawings on a set schedule or after specific triggers, ensuring project teams and stakeholders always have current documentation.

2. Exporting for Coordination
Need to regularly provide Navisworks files or other formats for coordination? Clarity can handle those exports on a schedule, ensuring model data is always ready for design reviews and workflow handoffs without manual intervention.

3. E-Transmittals
Preparing transmittals can be time-consuming. Clarity automates the packaging of project files, complete with consistent naming conventions, so you can share deliverables quickly and confidently.

4. File Health Monitoring
Clarity’s Health Metrics track KPIs like file size, open times, and Civil 3D warnings. You can set automated notifications if a file crosses certain thresholds, helping you address issues before they impact performance or deadlines.

5. Integrated File Delivery
Whether you need to deliver project files to Autodesk Construction Cloud, ProjectWise, Procore, or shared drives like SharePoint, Dropbox, or OneDrive, Clarity can move files where they need to go automatically, reducing handoffs and delays.

Why It Matters
Automation doesn’t replace the expertise of your Civil team; it amplifies it. By offloading repetitive processes, Clarity helps teams work more efficiently, maintain model health, and keep coordination workflows running smoothly. The result is accurate, timely deliverables without adding to your team’s workload.
