I need to export points from a plot in ASCII with the following format:
x_initial y_initial z_initial x_final y_final z_final radio type
This is for a substation grounding design.
A and B are the initial and final points of the 1st line.
I have acsii data that I need to add to a map. My coordinate system for the map is CANA83-3TM114
The coordinate system for the ascii points are unknown. How do I transform the data to the same coordinate system as my map?
Sitka 1/3 arc-second DEM is the page for the source of the .asc file.
I downloaded the rather large (190 mb) zipped file of a large ASCII file with a few extra things (readme, metadata, report)
I followed this how-to document.
And I get the error message "Cannot set the column 'Name'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column." And then nothing at all happens. No data imported.
Also, if I can't find the coordinates they assigned to the Ascii and I choose one I always use for this area, could that be the problem?
And I'l attach a photo of the 'preview' screen before I get before the error message.
i received a ascii file of position and elevation points (PNEZD) and do not see any where to import these points into AutoCAD 2011.
I know there exists survey products from autodesk, but still kind of wondering why there is no easy way to import points in the basic CAD program.
How to import a PNEZD file into AutoCAD 2011?
How to export points that i have plotted into a text file using autocad 2013? I've tried to look on the internet and it seems you can download plug ins but i don't know if those are safe to use.

I have Points in Civil 3D that are in the Washington State South Zone NAD 83 Coordinate System and would like to get these points converted to Washington State North Zone NAD 83 Coordinate System. I am able to convert drawings entities to the new coordinate system using MAPEXPLORER but the points do not go with it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a small field (5 by 5 meters) to be set out with about 40 points. Currently i use EOV (Hungarian National Coordinate System), thus each point has a lot of digits. I want to make the implemetor's job easier, so i want to move and rotate the CS near to my field.
I tried to use UCS, but the COGO points retained the "World" coordinates.
How to carry out this without moving my whole drawing to the origin?
how can I develope a proper piping system just like the one in the attached picture in AutoCAD 2013.
As you can see the tubes aren't that greatly connected.
Each tube is blocking the pathway of the other tube.
I need them to be all connected.
The reason why, is because I will be later using this design in Inventor Fusion and Simulation CFD to have fluid in the tubes.
I have 3 dynamic blocks with attributes representing pipes and pits in AutoCAD Map. When I export to MapInfo, MapInfo only shows points for the blocks with attributes. I think Im missing a step in the process?

I can use this and it works great for smaller projects, but crashes every time when I try to export a larg amount of points.

Using Civil 3D 2013. I've exported my Civil 3D points to an SDF and then to a shapefile. I cant get the "Z" elevation to come with it. Northing and Easting is correct, only problem is that is holds a zero elevation. how I can get the elevations to show correctl in the shapefile?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have an assembly in a dynamic simulation and I would like to temporarily ground it for a few seconds until the motor within it spins up to maximum speed. I have thought about applying imposed forces on the assembly from several angles to prevent it from moving but ideally I would like to ground it or perhaps add brakes that dissapear after a specified time.
View 9 Replies View RelatedHow do you fully ground & constrain Tube & Pipe Routes?
The problem I have is after I complete My runs & routes & I have to make a dimension change in my Route, my route does not stay vertical & horizontal, then I have to start all over, which is very time consuming
I'm sure there is a way to do this , just like in a regular sketch, you want all of your lines to turn purple so it is fully constrained , well with the routes they are not, only the very first line then the rest of the lines in the route are blue. I have tried to use regular constraints but I get the error message saying constraint already applied.
I have also tried to ground a work point from where the route starts from, & that didn't work.
I don't want to inventor to ground a part when I insert it into assembly. How do I turn this off?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a damper, I started it with the bottom frame member, which was grounded at origins when it was placed and I built the rest of the damper from there. All my constraints for blades and linkages and all related parts were able to move (with the damper held in place in "space" by the grounded frame member.
For parts list purposes I need all 4 sides of the frame to be one BOM item so I demoted the 4 frame pieces as one inseparable assembly.
After that all motion is lost in the main assembly and I can drag it all over "space" since I lost the bottom frame member ground point. I can ground the demoted frame assembly to lock it down, and drive the constraints to make the damper parts move to create positional representations.
I guess I'm just wondering if I'm not really supposed to be able to "move" components arbitrarily and I should just be driving the constraints all the time in the first place...I'm just not sure why the motion is lost after the initial ground point is lost.
We have six CAD machines in our office (not including several versions of LT), and only one machine "AutoCAD 2013" is having this issue:
ATTREQ & ATTMODE keep changing to undesirable values.
We generally use "ATTREQ 0" and "ATTMODE 1" and NEVER change these except "ATTREQ" gets changed in some LISP routines depending on the insert, but "ATTMODE" had to be looked up because we never change it from 1.
I know that there is no reference to ATTMODE anywhere in our customizations.
Does AutoCAD try to manage these system variables? Is there anything else that I can check to stop this?
I have a timeline made in Smoke and I'm wanting to only export a section of it. In other programs I would set an In and Out point and it would export just the range I've selected, but in Smoke.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Flash project I'm working on that is video with corresponding bulletpoints displayed next to it. While I've gotten it to work with embed cue points in the FLV file so that at certain times in the video the Flash movie goes to certain frames to display the relevant bullet points I haven't gotten it so that it can tell what the appropriate bullet point is if someone scrubs the video past the last cue point trigger. I found a process to do it using actionscript cue points instead of navigation cue points (via this guide: [URL], but it uses an external xml file for the cue points. My problem is that I can't figure out how to get that XML file without having to redo all the cue points manually. Is there someway to make Premiere Pro (CS3) export an xml file of the markers placed in my timeline instead of embedding them into the FLV file? Alternatively if there is a way I could extract them from the FLV file, that would be acceptible too.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am upgrading the AutoCAD 2009 X 32 systems to the 2013 X64, and I have this vab code that won't work on the new system.

Function or interface marked as restricted, or the function uses an Automation type not supported in Visual Basic. The code work perfectly without any error on the old system so I sure the code is causing this error.

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen assigning a coordinate system to my drawing in Civil 3D 2013, the drawing does not retain the selected system.
I choose the coord system I want in Map Setup and apply it (in this case MT83IF). After applying to the drawing I go back to verify the selected coordinate system and the dialog box indicates "N/A". The only workaround I can find is to save the drawing back to an earlier version and open it on another computer in the office that is running 2011. There I can assign my coord system and then reopen in 2013 where it now shows it properly assigned.
I have tried other coord systems to make sure it isn't isolated to just the one I am selecting - and it happens with all others I try. I have also tried a repair on my install to see if that would correct it to no avail.
I have a 64 bit system and have installed all service packs to date.
I install AutoCAD LT 2013 when I click install after few minute it show this error message.
The system cannot open the device or file specified. (Please see attached file)
By this I mean, if I set a new UCS with a new "north", can I lock it to this coordinate so it can't be changed?
Normally I would not do this, however, we're working with a company that has asked us to lay out an equipment grid on a couple sites they are setting up, as such: With 0,0 set to a predetermined point, and 100 ft increment grid laid out based off this point, using a laid out line on the site as an east-west, then creating a grid from this line and rotating it to create a "plant north."
Simple enough, except we sent them the dwg of the first one, and when they came back to us with their equipment setup, everything was inexplicably 4 degrees off and they blamed it on us. Oi...
So, yeah, to summarize, we'd like to lock our grid UCS.
Imagine a fresh machine and a fresh Infrastructure design suite 2013 install...sound sweet? It was for all of 3 or 4 minutes.Wonder what causes this squeaky clean system and install to freeze up completely, requiring nothing less than a reboot.
It happens every time I select any pulldowns in the quick access toolbar located at the very top of the screen above the ribbons.cause I need to give that "party crasher" the boot.
We currently utilize AutoCAD for our mine mapping purposes. I recently had a seismic study performed to determine the top of salt. I asked for a .dwg file of the contours that were developed. The .dwg file they provided does not have our autoCAD map on it. They are simply contour lines. These contour lines, however, have the same coordinate system as our mine map. The surveyor and I provided coordinate data to the company to develop the contour lines. I would like to lay these contours into our mine map. How do I import the contour .dwg file into our mine map file so that they lay exactly where they should?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhere can I find a complete list of System Variables for ACAD 2013?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was attempting to troubleshoot some performance issues I've been having using process monitor. I noticed that AutoCAD 2013 is constantly checking for an XREFSTATE System variable, that according to documentation is stored in the registry. however, process monitor is reporting this variable as not found. So that leads me to a couple questions:
why is it constantly checking the status of the variable
why is the variable not located within the path it is looking for.
Is there a way to find out the coordinate system and projection of a drawing sent to me? I do not have AutocadCivil3d. I have Autocad2013.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm having trouble finding a system variable.
I have blocks in a drawing that were made using the 'retain' method. WHen I go to insert the block I cannot see the block preview at the crosshair cursor. The block only becomes visible once I have clicked the left mouse key at the insertion point.
This means I can't rotate it either as I can't see it until I have clicked to place it.
Which system variable (And what setting) will allow me to see the block as I'm inserting it?
