AutoCAD 2013 :: Importing / Compiling Two Drawings With The Same Coordinate System

Dec 20, 2013

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?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Inserting Images / Importing / Exporting Shp Files Assign Coordinate 2013

Oct 18, 2012

I recently upgraded to Map 3d 2010 to Mapd 3d 2013 and i cannot figure out how to find the commands to insert images or import/export shp files.

I'm running 2013 in "autocad classic" and did so with 2010 as well. 2010 had a menu bar pull down called "Map" where I could insert an image (Image->Insert). There was also in 2010 a toolbar named  "Map" that had import shp, export shp and assign coordinate system.

I can't find any of this in 2013. I can't even find the commands in the customization to create my own toolbar. The commands work (mapiinsert,  mapimport, mapexport and ADESETCRDSYS) but i can't find them listed anywhere.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Assign Coordinate System When Importing LAS Files

Aug 8, 2012

I have been trying to import LAS files via Civil 3D 2011.

To do this I first turn the workspace to ''Tool based geospatial''. Then i assign a global coordinate system which is the same one as the LAS file i am importing. The in the task pane window (command: mapwspace) under display manager tab i right click on map base --> data --> add point cloud data --> create new index and then choose the file I want to import. Here i have some trouble; in the create new index window i am unable to assign a coordinate system, i can find the one i need but i cant select it (or any other), it persists on staying unselected. I am able to create an index without a coordinate system but I need it with the right coordinates.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Change Coordinate Systems While Importing Points

Nov 3, 2012

I want to know why I can't change coordinate of points while importing points from Points menu?

I created new file, assigned any coordinate system to the model. Opened Import points windows there, created new file format which there I assigned Coordinate zone transform to the coordinate system of the text file and imported my text file. But the coordinates of points didn't changed or transformed. When I do it by Survey in Toolspace its works good. I want to know whether I did any wrong or it is problem of software.

I use AutoCADCivil 2013 64 bit in Windows 7 64 bit!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Coordinate System Not Assigned In 2013

Jan 3, 2013

When 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.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Move 2D Objects With Basepoint To Coordinate 0,0,0

Aug 10, 2012

If i want to move 2D objekts with basepoint to the coordinate 0,0,0 - what i have to do?

In other PC older Autocad was it simply command "move", selecting objects, pointing basepoint and then typing "0,0,0" and object were there! Now the object doesnt move atall. (Can move only to showing second point in screen-but thisway its not possible to catsh exactly point 0,0,0).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Lock UCS To User-set Coordinate System?

Oct 23, 2013

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.

Jul 17, 2012

Using AutoCAD 2013 and a basemap that was created in an earlier version of AutoCAD (likely 2002), the coordinates of points exported from surveying equipment are changed when imported into the basemap.  Why would the coordiantes be changing when placed on a basemap?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Importing Dwg Files Into Maya

Jul 23, 2012

We have maya 2012 and autocad 2013. Does direct connect 2011 allow you to import autocad dwg files into maya? If not, has Autodesk updated direct connect as a maya/autocad plug in so we can use dwgs between the two programs? I can't get support to answer this, they keep saying "we monitor the forums, ask there." So, here goes! Autodesk ought to take a lesson from zbrush, who imports/exports with one button now!

AutoCAD 2013 :: Object DBX Classes Message When Importing Into 3Ds Max

Aug 4, 2013

I have been working on a drawing that was originally created from an AutoCAD 2004 version, and I have since been working on it in AutoCAD 2013 student version. The drawing from autoCAD 2004 was of plans for a house and i saved them over to model them in autoCAD 2013.

I have since finished the model and tried to import the drawing into 3Ds max 3013 cersion and a message reading "ObjectDBX Classes" appears. I have read up about this and tried to download an AutoCAD 2004 ObjectDBX Classes Object enabler. I am unable to download this as I do not have a copy of AutoCAD 2004, this is only available at my work.

I only have AutoCAD 2013 and 3Ds max 2013 on my home computer, not at my work.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: 2013 X64 Crash After Importing Old Config Files?

Dec 5, 2012

We have a big problem on several PC's with Acad Map 3D

if the users import their old (Acad 2010 Map 3D) files where symbollists and view settings are stored.

After a restart of Acad it hangs up with following Errors (See attached).

We can solve this issue temporary with restoring the defaults.

So the problem is importing old files so i think it is not campatible with this old acad 2010 files.

Is there a way to import such old files?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Importing Excel 2013 File Into 2014 DWG?

When I try to attach a 2013 Excel file into a 2014 drawing I get a message 'You have selected an unsupported DGN File.  Only V7 and V8 files are supported.'  Cannot attache through the Import command either.  I know in past versions you could insert the file and any changes made to the file appeared to the attachment in the drawing.

Is this no longer possible?  Surely not, it is way to handy.  What am I overlooking to make this happen?
