AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Best Free Source To Get County GIS?
Mar 1, 2013
What is the best free source to get county GIS? I do a lot deed mosaic and I usually overlay the deed mosaic to the county GIS to get it close, so the crew can get roughly to state grid. We don't have GIS for every county and sometime the deed descriptions are hard to read or they are badly described and I don't know what the property looks like. We have county property tax map books, but is not the same. They are not 100% accurate.

I'd like to have a view frame not linked to any aligment, simply a view frame collection.
The goal is to can create a VF for a cartography purposes or something similar. In example a 10x10 distribution schema.
A trick can be to use a "ghost "aligment , used only to served as environment to create the VF.
The main problem is the annoying link to aligment.
I suppose it is impossible to avoid this , isn`t it ?

Any good source for DEM files? Geocomm has STDS DEM's but last time I tried them they looked like junk. I can't seem to find the layer on the national map server or earth explorer.

I just upgraded to Civil 2011 from 2009 and a drawing I was working in, which had a database attached, is no longer working. Fine. I understand that upgrading may cause some things to not work properly.
So, I try to attach that same database and I get an error message that reads:Failed to create the data source file:
Database2
I tried creating a brand new database with newly imported information and it did not work. I tried creating a brand new database with no information , and still I get the same message.

I originally did an existing surface that I was not really satisfied with. Then did an existing and proposed profile using the LandXML import/export option for getting the information from one file to another. I have since redone the existing surface to something I am more satisfied with, and set up data shortcuts, but I cannot figure out how to update the existing portion of my profile.
Essentially, I want to "unload" the previous surface information from LandXML and redirect the profile to the data shortcut information so the existing portion of the profile can be updated... preferably without disturbing the proposed portion of the profile.
There is a dialog box that lists information about the profile, but it does not want to let me modify or change anything.

What exactly is this tool used for if you cant change the source file name or the path? and why would the interface let me poke into these fields and give me the option to find and replace if they cnnot be edited
So how can I change the Source File name and path?

Is there any way to determine the source drawing of a dref'ed object? I'm not seeing anything in COM or the .NET API's, hopefully I'm just not looking in the right place.

I have a 2011 Civil3D drawing with Data shortcuts in it. I need to replace the source drawing path of the data shortcut with another path. Is there a way to change this either manually or, preferably, programically. At some point we'll need to batch through the drawings and change this path information. Is this information is stored in a drawing dictionary somewhere? If so, where? If not, where?
Updating the .XML data files doesn't appear to affect data links already in the drawing.

I am having an issue with alignments not updating to the latest source drawing. Initially, the alignment source drawing was in File1.dwg. Due to a design change, a few of the alignments were revised in a new File2.dwg. For the first time ever, I used the Data Shortcuts Editor program to repoint the data shortcuts to the new File2 location. By all accounts, it looks like the data shortcut were updated to the new source drawing (File2).
The problem is in some files some of the alignments still source to the File1 location and even when manually synchronizing it still sources from File1. Additionally, it seems random in terms of which alignment and files source to File2, even to the point in some files one alignment will update to File2 and other won't and some alignments will update in some files but not all. Note that I am not the original creator of the files so I don't know much history on the files (no alignments seem promoted however).
What’s the best way for me to get all the alignments to point to the new data shortcut source drawing location?

I'm having a problem opening AutoCad Civil 3D 2010.
When I click the shortcut Windows starts configuration and then I get the following error message:
Error 1308.Source file not found;C:autodeskAutoCAD Civil 3D 2010
x86C3DProgram Files
ootCommon Files FolderAutodesk
sharedAdLM|R1en-UShelpBRWstylecommons.css.old.
Verify that the files exists and that you can access it. Needless to say AutoCad wont open all I get is Retry or Cancel, selecting.
Retry just gets the same error so when I Cancel I then get "Are you sure you want to Cancel" which I select and then I get the message Fatal Error during installation.
This is a downloaded install from Autodesk and I dont have discs available.
DWG TruView,Autodesk Vault 2010 and Autodesk Design all installed OK.
System detail's; OS is 64 bit Windows Home 7 Ver 6.1.7600 with IE8

I've looked around at various forum's without success.A couple of sites offer what they call a fix but it turns out to be registry scanners.

Attached is a zip file with the source code I used to modify the Parcel Map Check Report, as discussed HERE. It is essentially the code as provided with C3D2009, modified to reduce the amount of paper required to print them out. There are some other optimizations (allow sorting by columns is one), but this was mostly done a few years ago and I do not recall everything I may have done. Projects included for C3D versions 2010-2012.

It was in Feb - March 2012. I was then using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012. I had faced a problem of getting ground data for a large surface by using satellite imageries processed by some government wing of USA (NASA?), have lost track of it.

I need to update both the path and the Source file name in Data Shortcuts editor. If I update the path, it looks in the new path for the old file name, and throws an error. If I update the File name, it looks in the old path for the new file name, and throws the same error.

I need to copy a layer from one drawing to another, the problem is that one of them is in model and the other one is in paper. The method I tried using was: I used the q select command to copy all objects from one layer on to the clipboard and then tried pasting it in the other drawing (which was in paper) - and nothing got pasted.

What im trying to do is take the i properties from an inventor .dwg, and place them into a specific excel spreadsheet. I've managed to get so far, by using code that Curtis posted, which does the opposite of what im looking to do.The code Curtis posted takes info from excel and fills in iprops.
I can fill in specific cells, for instance columns A, B & C on Row 1 and place that info into a specific spreadsheet. But my code falls down when i run the code on another .dwg, It obviously overwrites what was previously in those cells.... I am looking for the code that looks to see if those cells are in use, and if so, go to the next available cell down.

I came across an amazing Inventor animation on YT. Its a ball that rolls down the ramp, falls into/thru a hole and realistically moves objects it touches. How is that done?
How is that possible to achieve that effect of free falling/gravitation?

For some reason, now when I click on Constrained Orbit or Free Orbit the screen automatically starts to move, its like I have just pressed on Continuous Orbit. Free Orbit works OK if I hold shift and use the scroll button, but I am used to using the icon .

I have an Wood works Sizer to size beams and columns. What I normally do is insert an OLE object for a beam component right into Autocad. In older versions of Autocad, I could then double click on the ole object and design the beam right from autocad.
I have tried inserting one of these ole object (as a file) into Excel 2010 and everything works as expected. However, when I insert the same file (Insert...Object...From File) it is inserted as a Package. If I double click on the OLE icon I am taken into a dialog "Create Package" asking me to type the name of the file I want to package. I can't get autocad to open the source application to edit the OLE object.
If I look at the same process with inserting an excel spreadsheet, the source object will say Excel and everything works fine when do an ole open.
Is there some way to change or register a source application for my custom file type? I notice that my application is not listed in the Insert Object - Create New object type list.

i have 12 base maps (transportation.dwg, utilities.dwg, etc) and each of these base maps is attached to a data source (.mdb). when creating a new drawing and inserting these basemaps in the Task Pane by Attach Drawings & Query, i loose the connection to the data source in the new drawing
is there a way to have the datasource carry through and retain the attachment to new drawing?
also, in alot of maps we create we Xref (Transportation.dwg) and we loose the datasource in that situation too.
i'm new at this so hopefully my question makes sense.

Is it possible to record a video clip (avi/wmv/MPG) of free 3d orbit shaded animation what you see on autocad screen (without specifing particular path).
There are animation settings in 3dorbit right shortcut menu, but it doesn't have option for recording a video clip.

Just looking for some good effects to put on an art piece. Some sections are very dark and I'd like to add some accent to them. I know that solidworks was some textures that emit light, I was curious if there was anything like that in Inventor.

I just re-install my ACAD to a new PC.
When I do plotting from DWG to PDF now, it doesn't plot to the same folder as the DWG file and the file name also. It used to do that on my old PC.
Go through the settings and it doesn't have an option to let me plot to the same DWG folder or an option to plot to PDF with the same file name as the DWG.
