AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 Point Labels Are Too Big In Viewport?

May 28, 2013

While using AutoCAD 2008 LDD, I was able to set my point label size so that it looked the same in Model Space and Paper Space. I have my Model Space at 1:1, and my Paper Space Viewport set at the Scale Factor as needed, 1" = 50' i.e.. I now am using Civil 3D 2012 and have a decent grasp of Point Label Styles, the problem I am having is that when using the same parameters as mentioned before, my Point Label is at the right size in Model Space, setting the height at a size comparable to the Drawing Scale, such that if the Drawing Scale within the Viewport was 1" = 60', I would set the text size 4.8, but when doing this, it makes my Point Label text size huge.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Note Labels Scale When Viewport Maximized

Apr 26, 2012

When I maximize a view port, then zoom in or out, the note labels change scale. I like the way C3D General Note Labels rotate and scale with different viewports, but is there a way to stop them from changing when you are just viewing by maximizing? I know that I can zoom first, then maximize and as long as I don't zoom again, the scale won't change, but this is not practical.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Get Point Labels To Show Up

Jun 11, 2012

I cannot get the point labels (Point #, Elevation and description) to show up beside my point markers.  Looks like those labels are set to "true".  Got to get my drawing to engineer in next day and he needs to see the shots.

I have attached my dwg that I have already inserted the points to.  Kind of new to importing points to CIVIL 3D I have been pulling topo from contour lines in the past.

I was using this in 2011 to match label rotation of an existing point but it no longer works in 2013? What is the value I need to grab and set or will this format not work in 2013,

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database And Point UDP Labels?

When I import Points (w/o Survey Database) that contain Point UDP's they come in just fine, (see attached).  However, when I import those same Points thru the Survey Database it does not populate the addition UDP info on the Point Label (see attached).  Why?  I have created the Styles, Point File Format and I have even added data to Survey DB Extended Properties.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Network Cross Section Labels In 2012?

In 2011 the pipe network cross section labels had to be exploded or they would disappear once you closed the drawing (even with saving).

In 2012 can you close and open a drawing and have the labels not disappear?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Duplicate Geometry Point Labels In PV Bands

Apr 29, 2012

I do know that tere is supposed to be an algorithm in C3D that will recognise when two geometry points are coincident on a profile view...that is, say a profile vertical geometry point happens to occur on a major station (for example).

I have never seen this actually work. When I have this situation, the labels stagger and I get two columns of identical data on my PV.

I know I can remove individual labels bY CTRL+select and eIther erase or turn visibility to false, but I would rather that C3D figured it out for me and removed the duplicate data.

Viideo link explains what I mean..

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Geometry Point Labels - Text Style

Jan 21, 2013

I am in the process of modifying our current company standards to conform to another set of standards. The main change is switching from "simplex" font style to "Tahoma".

Simple in theory but problematic in execution, our main alignment label style "GEO-LABL", used for P.O.T, PC, ect. utilizes an underlined reference text object in order to control the length of the line under the call. The base insertion places the call perpendicular to the alignment, when dragged to the left or right it switches to stacked text plan readable. Works like a champ with the "simplex" text style - 1.jpg see attached.

Now simply changing the font to "Tahoma" - 2.jpg the larger you make the text the larger the gap.I am trying to stay away from adding a line for the underline due to the difference in lengths needed when the call gets longer or shorter based on alignment name or stationing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dragged Labels Leaders Not Pointing To Point

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Topo Point Labels Orientated To Baseline

Apr 25, 2013

I have a road that leads to a curved highway on ramp, and lets say I have multiple drainage structures along the curb line.

-Instead of the symbols and labels being orientated on view or world, can they be dynamically orientated parallel to a horizontal alignment around the curve? 

-In doing so making the symbols/labels not adjust no matter what the ucs view is in model space or paperspace?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Rotate Point Labels On An Elevation (facade) Drawing

Dec 7, 2012

Is it possible to rotate the point labels when working with point files from an elevation Survey in Ciivil 3D? When activating the labels visibility they are horizontal, but when I rotate the drawing  to a side view I am can´t see them.

So far I was working with Autocad (importing a dxf). Is there a way to rotate at the same time all the points labels, wich in this case are just text items?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Labels - Dragged State Texts Are In Wrong Order?

Jun 6, 2012

In Civil 3d 2013, my points appear as follows with Point # on top, elevation in the middle and description at the bottom.

But when I drag the label, it changes the order of the labels to Description on top, point # in the middle and elevation at the bottom.

How do I make the dragged state labels appear in the same order as the first picture?

Also, how can I keep the colors from picture #1 (red, yellow, green) into the dragged state labels as well?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: COGO Point Labels Not Rotating When Entire Drawing Is Rotated?

May 14, 2013

So I have a survey of a roadway that was created 15 years ago and was converted into autocad civil 3d 2012. No problems there, however, I am going through the survey and rotating the COGO points (ie Traffic Signs, Utility Poles) and the text to be parallel to the roadway. I am in UCS World and have no problems rotating the points and text to what I want. THe problem starts when I rotate the drawing using UCS 3P so that I am looking at a portion of the roadway that is parallel to my computer screen. Now the text and orientation of the signs etc are no longer parallel to the roadway and did not rotate when I rotated the entire project. 

Now I was under the impression the  points were to rotate automatically to what I set them as, ie parallel to the roadway. I'm sure this is an easy fix or I am not understanding something.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Group Query Invalid With 2012

Apr 12, 2012

I'm using civil 3D 2012 for 2 weeks now. When I create a query to include or exclude points in a specific point group I get an error. It doesn't allow me to build a query with decimal number but only with natural number. 

Everything was fine with my old civil 3D 2011.

The problem is with civil 3D 2012? or maybe their is a magic switch somewhere to allow me to use decimal number?

I think it is normal to want a style showing stationing, speed design stattions, etc.But.... Radii of curves ? Clothoid parameters ? 

Why is the reason Autodesk developers think that designers dont want to see this information instead of "add labels, aligments, multiple segments,. etc ....

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing In Viewport That Is Over A Viewport?

Jul 12, 2012

I have a drawing with a viewport that fits to the page. And I created another smaller viewport over top that just shows the legend. Now when I try to double click inside the smaller viewport it always goes into the larger one. I have tried bringing the smaller one to the front but that didn't work. I know that I can clip the larger viewport around the smaller one or bring the legend right into paperspace or slid the smaller one off to the side work in it and slide it back. This is more out of curiosity of how to get into the smaller viewport.

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.
