I truly appreciate the patience my clients have given me re: the next release of ASE Civil. Please accept my sincerest apology for taking so long to get this out.

Development is still in-progress. It's slowly coming together. My current estimate for the release of ASE Civil 2026 is 8/18/2025. I promise you it will be a better version of ASE Civil than you have right now. I'm pretty excited about it myself and I'm anxious to get it out to the community ASAP.
"What About 2025?"
Since both releases of Civil 3D (2024/2025) are functioning in the .NET 8 framework their architectures should be similar enough that the 2026 release of ASE Civil should also work fine on Civil 3D 2025.
I started out developing a 2025 release of ASE but then realized it was so late in the Autodesk release cycle that it made more sense to just target 2026 instead, so that's what I decided to do; Start over with a new product release compatibility target year.
Don't Wait for Me Though!
If you're already using Civil 3D 2025 or 2026 right now, and you're somehow "magically" able to continue using ASE Civil17 like nothing ever happened, you'll be pleased to know that (if you haven't already discovered this on your own):
ASE Civil 2017 build# 14.9.0 has been tested and proven to already be compatible with Civil 3D 2026 (See this post).
So everything you're currently using in ASE Civil will work in virtually every version of Civil 3D you run it with. The release I'm currently developing will:
Fix some broken items
Resolve some ribbon issues
Improve performance
Extend capabilities in some areas
Simplify & reduce the required user input for some features
Add some new items
Refine selected functions and objects
Totally rearrange the installation structure and streamline the setup process so no additional configuration is required. Install ASE Civil 2026, start C3D and start working. Thank you all, once again for your patience. I'll make this next release well-worth your wait.
