Conclusion

: The standard choice for Civil 3D. If your current file is later Xref’d into a third file, this Xref will not be carried over, preventing "circular reference" errors. Attachment Improved collaboration : Multiple designers can work on

1. Improved collaboration: Multiple designers can work on different parts of a project, referencing the same data without having to duplicate it.
