AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Bearings Along The Property Lines

Oct 25, 2012

I draw property plats for a surveyor and looking for a way to add the bearings (for example: N 56 15' 32" E) along the property lines.  Right now, I use the Distance command to find out the bearing, write it down, and then add it to the aligned linear dimension text.  I'm guessing there's a faster way to get a bearing along with the distance without typing it in.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Radial (R) To Bearings In Table?

Jul 21, 2009

Any way to add a (R) to the Bearing dislpay, to indicate a radial bearing, in a Line Table?? This would only apply to certain lines, not all of them. I can specify which line. That function does not need to be automatic.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Draw Lines That Radiate Out From A Point On Different Bearings And Distances

Jan 18, 2013

I have a very frequent need to draw lines that radiate out from a point on different bearings and distances. I think of this as a sideshot.

                             _/_

                                |

Civil 3D’s sideshot command acts differently. It draws lines between the radial end points.

                               /

                                |

Do you know what command is needed to do what I want? It is not the Create Line by Side Shot command.

AutoCad :: Drawing Lines Using Bearings?

Feb 20, 2013

I have tried unsuccessfully to draw lines using bearings as a surveyor draws them. I have seen a number of posts here and on the web, but they relate to northern and easting’s, but as you can see on the attached PDF from a surveyor they have used only bearings. I’m not a surveyor, my background is mechanical so this is all new to me. what units and settings I may need to change in order to draw using these bearings. I’m using Autocad 2012, and the attached PDF relates to some blocks of land in Australia (just in case that makes a difference in the settings)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lines Show Up As Foggy Grey But Don't Have That Property?

Oct 2, 2012

The above sums it all up. Note the properties are NOT GREY they are what they are supposed to be.

The file was created in version 2012 by another designer now it is being completed in 2013 by myself.

I can do a quick fix by creating a wblock of the problem lines and text etc to enable a print out without the GREYING

problem but once the drawing is closed and opened once again the drawing has GREYED whatever is in model space again.  (note that xrefed lines etc are fine)

Ps I have attached the problem file with all the xrefs and jaz unattached/taken off etc

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Tie Distances - Position Building On A Plot With Uneven Property Lines

Mar 17, 2013

I am using AutoCad C3D. I have drawn a building and now I am trying to position the building on a plot with uneven property lines using only “tie distances” from the spots on the property to specific spots of the building.

I do not know which C3D program functions (with just distances known) to get the building placed properly on the plot.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Entering Bearings - Distances And Curves

Jul 19, 2013

I haven't used Autodesk directly since Land Development 2i. I remeber being able to draw lines by distances and bearings with the numeric keypad. The bearing quadrant / DMS input was a fast way to draw parcels from an existing map. When I got to a curve, I remember being able to input radius and Delta angle. I've been trying to find those functions for months now. I found the Line by Bearing command and that works well as long as I don't run into a curve.

How do you draw a curve that's tangent to the previous line with the radius and delta angle? I've been going back to AutoCAD version 12 methods. That is, offset the previous line. draw a circle from the end of the offset. draw a line between the center of the curve and the end of the previous line. Rotate that line with the 12d34'56" format. trim the curve and erase the extra lines.

I've gone through all the curve drawing options in the home menu.I found the CoGo editor in the survey menu but it doesn't draw curves. It just draws a line from the beginning of the curve to the center and continues the traverse from the radius point of the curve. That's obviously either a serious misunderstanding of input or a program bug.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Error Adding Breakline Message When Editing Surface With Feature Lines

Jul 11, 2012

I am working on a 6 mile highway project whose surface file is 85MB big. So, I created a Data Shortcut of this surface and used this for creating profiles. However, at some locations the corridors go below the surface(as per their original profile) which was not intended. So, I need to restrict the surface to follow the corridors but not go beyond it.

I have created feature lines from corridors and tried to add them as breaklines to the surface. But " error adding breakline" error pops up. 

Is it because I am trying to add the breaklines to the mirror surface which I created from Data Shortcut ??

Will it be useful if I copy feature lines to original surface file and add these feature lines as breaklines in that file??

AutoCAD 2013 :: Sheet Set - Adding Space To Default Custom Property

Jul 18, 2013

I'm tasked with setting up a new dwt file to be used along with the Sheet Set Manager.

I've got as far as adding in my own custom properties at both the Sheet Set level (things like project name, site name, etc.), and at the Sheet level (drawing title).

But more specifically, at the Sheet Level, I want to be able to facilitate having a multi-line drawing title. Things start to get a little cloudy.

In order to be able to control where the line breaks are, I've simply created 5 fields (3 for an odd number of lines, 2 for even), and I want to set their Default Value so they don't display anything, i.e. a space or blank of some kind, instead of the four dots. So when I want to add the title I go to the Sheet properties and change the value.

I thought it'd be as simple as adding the ASCII code for a space (U+00A0) into the Default Value, but that seems to display the text U+00A0 instead of the space.

AutoCad :: Drawing A Line Using Bearings

Apr 6, 2010

First off I'm using AutoCAD 2008 and I'm trying to input survey points to establish a subdivision.

My units are set as follow: length type: decimal with precision set at: 0.00. Angle type: Surveyor's Units with precision set at: N 0d00'00" E. Units to scale inserted content: feet.

I have a specific point at which i want to start from and that is 1421334.93,78320.62 which is my benchmark. I want to start my next point at 113.66 feet away from this benchmark at a bearing of N 5d27'23" W. So far I have tried using the command @113.66<N5d27'23"W but nothing happens.

AutoCad :: Labeling Line Bearings

Oct 15, 2007

I am doing a few simple plot plans and I would like to find simpler way to place the bearings of the property lines just by clicking on them or the ends of each line like I do for their length. I just use a Aligned dimension with everything turned off except the text so that is parallel with the lot line.

There is probably a simple solution I'm just not finding one, I cut and past the text out of the quick calculation now and rotate it, and I know there's a better way.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Property Field Editor For Alignment Curve Table

Dec 29, 2013

I want to create a Curve table for an alignment.

You are able you get range of properties, i.e length, chord length, start/end chainages, mid-ordinate.

I've notice lets for arguement sake 'chord length' text component editor is: <[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]> but is it possible to modify the code so i can insert half a chord length.

Ive tried

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>/2        ---- doesn't work

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]/2>        ---- doesn't work

<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)/2]>        ---- doesn't work

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Expressions Losing Custom Pipe Property Reference

Jun 28, 2012

Having problems using custom pipe properties in pipe label expressions in 2013? I have some expressions relating to stub callouts and the ones that directly reference the custom properties lose that reference every so often.

For example I have and expression called "STUB-Riser-Length2d" which is defined as "{Riser Length} / SQRT(2)" where "Riser Length" is the custom pipe property. Every week or so it changes to "/ SQRT(2)".

I haven't been able to find the pattern as to exactly when this happens yet. All expressions not referencing custom properties seem to be holding steady. The pipe catalog is on a shared drive on the network, if that makes any difference.
