    Default Autocad civil 3D crashes when I open layout tab

    every time I open auto cad in a layout tab or if I am in model space and I switch to a layout tab it crashes. I have my PICKFIRST set to #1 so I don't see why its crashing. also when I start up civil 3D my start up image is different then everyone else in my office its a foot ball stadium instead of a city a bridge and a river. i feel like that might have something to do with a reason of why it would crash.

    Pickfirst = 0 doesn't cause crashes, not sure why you'd think that.

    So you're getting this image....

    ...instead of this one?

    The first image is for AutoCAD only.

    I'd suggest doing complete uninstall, clean up the hard drive and get rid of as much cruft as you can, and then do a fresh install of c3d

    Perhaps it would be prudent to first check that the OP's Application Icon has the appropriate profile specified in the Target Path, no?

    I _think_ the splash graphic is hardwired to the executable. Regardless of the selected profile, when I start Civil3d, (whether as c3d or 'civil3d as autocad') I get the c3d splash.

    FWIW -

    This is the splash I get when launching the OOTB 'Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2014' application icon:

    If I'm not mistaken, the Football stadium is 2012 or 2013 release of AutoCAD. That just means you are using a later version. It doesn't have anything to do with the operation or functionality of the software at all.

    The OP is using Civil 3D which does not use the soccer/football stadium as the splashscreen.
