Success Story
AEC, Inc., a Roswell, GA firm providing planning, civil engineering, and landscape architecture services for nearly 35 years, faced a significant challenge: Keeping up with their competition. On the production side, they recognized the need to learn more about the features of Autodesk Civil 3D and how to implement them to remain competitive in the industry.
“We had been looking for a few months to make the push to start training. We were feeling that, from a production-standpoint, our competition was making bigger strides than us,” said Julie Miller, Vice President at AEC, Inc. Julie is involved in production, client management, and internal CAD standards and policies.
ATG had initially been AEC’s source for renewing Autodesk software, but after discovering some of ATG’s training materials they decided to look further into training for their team. Working with James Rose (ATG Account Executive), AEC partnered with ATG to receive ‘Beyond the Basics AutoCAD Civil 3D’ training. Led by William Maughan, ATG Civil Technical Specialist, the training was conducted over five months with half-day sessions, focusing on improving their production capabilities. Julie remarked, “I would point out how customizable the training can be and how willing the instructors were to go back and re-show how to do things as the training progressed.” This tailored approach helped the team grasp the intricacies of Autodesk Civil 3D and apply them effectively to their workflows.
After the completion of the training, the production staff at AEC gained a greater understanding of Autodesk Civil 3D and its benefits. The firm now holds bi-weekly meetings to discuss the implementation of new features in their templates and office standards, leading to more efficient workflows. This continuous improvement has empowered AEC to stay competitive and enhance their service offerings.
By partnering with ATG and investing in targeted Autodesk Civil 3D training, AEC, Inc. successfully addressed their production challenges and positioned themselves for future growth. The tailored training program, coupled with the team’s dedication to continuous improvement, has empowered them to streamline workflows, enhance project deliverables, and maintain a competitive edge in the industry.

Custom Solutions for Complex Architectural Projects
DWL Architects, a leading architectural firm based in Phoenix, Arizona, sought a reliable technical partner to support their projects, including capturing point clouds, creating Revit models, training their team, developing AutoCAD lisp routines, and more. Having an already-established relationship with CADsoft, acquired by ATG in 2017, the DWL team decided to further explore ATG’s offerings and continue working with the team. Raun Tinklepaugh, IT Director and Facilities Manager at DWL, noted: “ATG retained a lot of the staff we were already working with throughout the transition, so we didn’t want to change what was already working well for us.” Raun wears many hats at DWL, managing everyone’s day-to-day needs, troubleshooting Revit, providing application support, and working with various partners to support DWL’s needs.
Enhancing Civil 3D Workflows with Custom Pipe Network Structures
SeamonWhiteside, a seasoned Civil Engineering and Landscape Architecture firm, faced significant challenges in their Civil 3D workflow, especially in the design and labelling of Pipe Network Structures. Despite their expertise, their internal efforts to streamline water-related infrastructure design processes were falling short. Recognizing the need for a specialized solution, they sought external assistance to overcome these inefficiencies. “Our Innovation Department spent a few months trying to develop a solution to support our water-related infrastructure design as a complement to our storm drainage infrastructure. All our efforts were to no avail, so we looked to ATG for a solution,” said York Dilday, PE, Digital Practice Lead – Civil. York manages SW’s AutoCAD and Autodesk Civil 3D environments, designs and implements new tools and workflows, and provides technical support.
