Here are three tips that will help make you successful:
1. Be very aware of which field has focus. Civil Accudraw does not manage this the same way as ms accudraw.
2. The shortcut keys are same as ms accudraw but behave subtly different. Example: RE rotates compass to an element in both, but civil accudraw requires a pick instead of just hover.
3. For offsets from alignment, CA actually tries to help too much. It tries to infer plus or minus by cursor position which fights against you sometimes. So, make sure your cursor is on correct side of road when entering offset value.
