Why we need to use Data Shortcuts Folders ?

 
The benefit of using shortcuts in Civil 3d is to improve the performance of the software, by using the surface and the alignment as a shortcut you will be amazed how fast civil 3d is comparing to using everything in the same file.
 In addition you can organize your team of engineers to work with the software in the most efficient way especially the complex model would require breaking objects out into individual files, in addition using this method makes Civil 3d perform faster.
 
First Click on the manage tab and choose new shortcuts folder

Name your folder

You will have in your PC a set of folders where you can find XML files connecting to your Civil 3d data
