This is the new features of Civil 3D 2008. Plans Production tool can be helped to quickly create sheets that automatically display segments of alignments and profiles in your plan. We are now have this tool, doesn't need to manually rotate the title block along the alignment, and rotate the annotation and dimensions in order to be able to read these pieces of information.
