AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 - Overwriting / Modifying Control Point?

Feb 2, 2012

We have been processing/adjusting our field control observations in an outside program (Star-net) and then importing the control into our C3D Database through an import event (PNEZD File). Once the control has been imported we import our field data (.fbk file) through an import event as well. The problem that we are having is once you process a .fbk that uses one of those control points it "locks" the control point, so the next day when we get another field download and the control is re-adjusted, we can't update the control points in the C3D Database.

The only way we have found to get our newly adjust control into the C3D Database is too delete all of the "import events" that use the control point and then import our new control. This is a HUGE hassle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying The Point Size / Text Size Assigned At Particular Annotation Scale

Feb 25, 2013

Modifying the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale,

I’m wondering how the point size/text size assigned at particular annotation scale can be modified.

For example, in the attached screenshot, the point size assigned at the annotation scale of 1/1000 is big and I wanted to make it a bit smaller at that scale.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 Edit Cogo Point Descriptions

May 19, 2011

I'm seeing weird behavior in C3D 2011 that I never saw in previous versions.Sometimes when I select a Cogo Point and attempt to edit the Raw Description from the Properties window, C3D changes the description to all lower-case letters, and it will not let me key in any upper-case letters.  If I select the point -> Edit Points, I can edit the description in Panorama without problems.  It's only in the Properties window that it refuses to accept anything other than uppercase letters.

This issue only happens sometimes.  Sometimes, I'm able to edit descriptions from the Properties window with no problem.  Other times, C3D changes the existing description to all lowercase letters, and refuses to allow me to enter anything but lowercase letters.what causes it, and ideally some way to get C3D 2011 to stop behaving like this?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 Vs 2013 Point Cloud Colors?

Nov 1, 2012

See pic.  Top pic is 2013 point cloud properties.  bottom pic is 2011 point cloud properties.  2013 has a new 'point cloud adjust' option in properties.

Both drawings have same 'Lidar Classification' Style, but 2013 is all gray.  I tried changing some fields inside the properties for 2013 under the point cloud adjust to no avail. 

why this is like this and what I need to do to see the different colors for the different classifications.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Publish Command And Overwriting PDF Files?

Aug 8, 2013

With Autocad 2013 we have found an unconsistant problem with overwriting PDF files with same name.  This only happens with publish command (ie, can just plot 1 layout to pdf and overwrite no problem).  The funny thing is, it doesn't happen all the time - just 50% of the files (and yes, the file is not in use when attempting to overwrite).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Overwriting Points Importing Fieldbook

Jan 4, 2013

We're moving [slowly, painfully] from LDD to Civil 2012. When importing a survey fieldbook in LDD, my method has always been to "clean up" the fieldbook during the import. Rather than search through the fieldbook text file manually, I'll let the import process find the duplicate, overwritten points, or errant linecodes, and then exclamate them or change them in the fieldbook and, if necessary, reimport the fieldbook. Figures and breaklines use the initial coordinate, for instance, so sometimes a reimport is (was) necessary.

So our survey crews "overwrite" points in the field for bad rod heights, angles, descriptions, etc... During the LDD import process that point number is flagged and I am given the option to overwrite/average/etc.... In Civil 3D I seem to be stuck with an average of the two observations, and I'm not even alerted about which point numbers come from these "multiple observations." So I've no idea without sifting through the often substantial list of point numbers which points have duplicate data connected to them.

I've combed through the import options and I just don't see what I'm looking for, which, in a phrase, is to be alerted when there are duplicate numbers in the fieldbook.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying Pressure Pipe Networks

Jul 23, 2013

I layed out a pressure netowrk horizontally using 6" pvc pipe.  It includes some 45 degree bends and such and even some curved pipe.  Now the engineer wants to adjust the alignment in the area of the curved pipe.

First of all the modify area in the ribbon on the plan layout tools for pressure pipe is an absolut joke.  It lets me break a pipe (which deletes one end of it), move a pipe (but the attched pipes don't move), or slide a pipe (whatever that's supposed to do).

If I grip edit a curved pipe, this will not work.  The curved and tangent pipes will now no longer be tangent to each other and when laying out an alignment on the pipe itself, the curves will not work correctly when going to stake it out.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Modifying Dimensions Over Dimension Line With Leader

Feb 21, 2013

For my dimension style, I have my text placement set to over dimension line, with leader, so I can drag the actual text outside the dimension line with a leader attached when necessary, but when I try to move the text outside of the dimension line it always draws the leader underlining the entire piece of text that I have moved. Is there a way to control the leader to attach to the middle of the line and not underline the entire piece of text when doing this operation?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Point Data For Each Point Includes Hyperlink

Jan 17, 2013

I have a database of points I am trying to import, and the point data for each point includes a hyperlink.  I've created a set of custom User-Defined Property Classifications for all the data types in the point database, and I've created a point file format to use to import the points. 

It's a database of existing curb ramps, the data includes things like widths, slopes, some text, and a hyperlink to the Google Streetview at each ramp.  I've created a custom point label that will show the data I need to see at each ramp.

All goes great except that the import fails because of the hyperlinks.  I've tested it by removing the hyperlinks from a small test portion of the data set, and the test points are then successfully imported.  I suppose I can delete the hyperlinks from the entire database, but if there is a way to include the hyperlinks in the point import I would prefer that.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Set Default Point Style For Point Groups

Jun 20, 2012

How to set a default point style for point groups?  Whenever I import survey points, I always put them into their own point group, so I can display each day's worth of survey data differently.  For some reason, the point style always defaults to a certain style (our control point symbol).  I'd like it to default to Basic, so I don't have to change this every time.  Is it a template drawing setting somewhere?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using 2013 DWG In 2011?

Mar 11, 2013

We've recently done some work for an engineering firm, and have also recently upgraded to Civil 2013.

It turns out they are using Civil 2011, and obviously are unable to open our drawing. As far as I'm aware, they need a TIN surface and cogo points, but I'm unsure of how to provide them with this other than reproccessing the job on an older version of Civil.

I'm thinking that I might be able to export to LandXML to keep all my points and surface, and then just export to Autocad 2010 for the linework?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 - Will Not Display Ribbon

Feb 11, 2013

I am using Civil3d 2011 and the ribbon will not display.  The button seem to work some times but I can't see the ribbon, QAT, or Infocenter.  I tried relaoding the CUI files, updated video card drivers, Civil3D patches, even uninstalled and reinstalled Civil3D.

I can turn the ribbon off (ribbonclose) and the ribon area is rendered correctly on the screen.  I can turn the menubar on/off and it works just fine.

I tried logging on to the computer as different user, as the administrator, etc.  Same error.

I use the Ribbon but now I can't because I can't see it.

I have attached a screen shot of the ribbon area.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updating Styles In 2011?

Feb 19, 2013

I have a job that the customer provide the original CAD files with Civil 3D styles in them. As the project has progressed we have found many of the styles were not created properly and notified the customer. They have told us to fix the errors and send them the corrections...

Now that I have one file working properly I have to push the changes to the 30+ styles through the 100+ files of the job. Is there a quick way to do this in Civil 3D 2011? (It is part of our contract to use this specific program and release year without converting the files.) Or do I need to drag-and-drop each style into each file?
