AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Click In Drawing Area Required After Picking Object To Get Cross Hairs Back
May 23, 2012
When I click on a civil 3d object the contextual ribbon will light up (which is fine) but instead of my cross hairs comming back in the drawing window I get the pointer that would be used to select an item in the ribbon (in the drawing area) and I have to click in the drawing area to get my cross hairs back or to grip edit the object or to delete the object.
Is there a option/setting I need to change to be able to get me cross hairs back after selecting a civil 3d object?
Just move to Civil 3d 2012, this worked just fine in '11...

I keep my command line docked, but as I type a command as an example "LINE" it displays my typing where
my cross hairs are. I want it to display at the docked command line not at my crosshair location

Using Civil 3D 2012, windows 7 pro 64, Radeon HD6970 video card.
The pointer flickers when in AutoCAD, especially when in menus, between the arrow and the arrow / waiting circle. Also does this flicker with the cross hairs and the waiting symbol when in the drawing window. Have all the drivers up to date no luck.
Have also tried multiple different pointing devices. Also have several instances where text will not move or allow to be modified until I save and restart the program.

I am an occasional user of AutoCAD. I have a received a drawing from a company where the cross hairs are at 45 degrees and I can only insert dimensions at 45 degrees.
I have tried PLAN > Enter > Enter . This rotated both the cross hair and the drawing 45 degrees

Every so often while working in LT-2010 the cross hairs will vanish from the screen but you are still able to pick items (as u move the mouse lines, etc hi-light in the usual way) also when you come outside the drawing area the mouse pointer will reappear (only while outside the drawing, in the command bars, etc)
the only quick way to return the cross hair to normal is to hit another tab & then re-enter the tab or model i was in. there seems to be no particular command that causes this glitch .

I have a cross section view with a canal section and a flat water surface section.
Is there a way for C3D to calculate the 2D area of the canal section that is under the water elevation?

Had a problem when screen capture stopped working, stating that I had an audio problem, so I uninstalled X6 Ultimate and reinstalled.
Screen capture is now working EXCEPT that as soon as the recording starts, red flashing cross hairs appear which I cannot remove and they show on the captured video. This did not happen before when screen capture was working. Is there a resolution on how to stop these cross hairs from appearing.

Is there a way to turn off cross-hairs for Photoshop when using a very fine brush? i recently bought Wacom Cintiq 12WX and find cross hairs under the pen incredibly jarring.
i selected "normal brush tip" option in preferences > cursors menu and it works fine with bigger brushes but currently i'm working on a small-format illustration and use 1 and 2 px brushes a lot and cross hairs are still present for brushes that small.

I am evaluating volumes of concrete removed from a surface and the volumes of concrete poured to replace the demolished concrete.I have created surfaces for each stage of the process in individual drawings.
I have created a drawing for the section views and successfully created cross-sections showing all the surfaces.When I compute materials, determining cut material between 2 of the surfaces, the end area is not always determined at every station.
I have previously noticed end area "shapes" with breaks in them. Each time, this was because there was a void in the surface triangulation.Is there any way that I can interrogate a surface to check whether the triangulation is incomplete, with voids in it?
I posted last week and included the attached screen print showing incomplete triangulation which I only noticed by turning on the "Shades of Gray" visual style.There must be some way to check surfaces without having to use the memory gobbling visual style.

At entry / exit ramp connection,
Since frequencies of corridors are perpendicular to their respective alignments, there is gap developed in between two corridors on ramp as shown in snaps.
This is common problem in roads & highways, I know how fix the same.
But if my cross section is a Tunnel? (Cross Section- Elliptical Roof)

Suddenly my CS2 has started to act up. First, after opening a file and start to do a background erasing, the brush shows up as crosshairs.
after a brief time of working with those limitations, when I click on the downdown menus, they get highlighted, but nothing drops down. If I try to close the file or the program, all I get is a warning "ding".

I want to create cross sections in a blank drawing via a Data shortcut Project.
My intent is to keep my file size to a minimum. I can include surface, alignment and profile per data shortcut but not my corridor. My corridor is 3000 feet long and when I do cross sections in the same drawing, it runs real slow.

My problem now is that i have piles of gravel & sand, i got the volume on each pile for and now want to make a cross section drawing showing the elevations on them. I went to section views and create mutiple views but it asks me for a aligment, but i just want to base the drawing off the contours of the piles (elevations)

Lately I've noticed a lag after picking an object where my crosshairs freeze and I'm unable to continue. This lasts for a fraction of a second up to 5 seconds or more. IT seems to happen most when I select a hatch object.

I am using Map 3D 2012 and when I float the cursor over objects it highlights.The problem is that when I click on the object that is highlighted, it picks another object. I have gone through the options and can't find anything that changes this.

I am trying to use a spline to deform hairs on a object.
I have 1 editable spline, with multiple splines attached to it(1 spline which has been rotated), but when I use it to comb the hairs, it will only take 1 or 2 of the splines, so it all goes in 1 direction, rather then all outwards from the center, like the splines are.
The splines are all the same, all in one shape, and all have the first vertex in the center.
I have tried re-creating the splines, but it comes out the same.

If I select some objects (i.e. pipe, feature line, etc.) and right click to bring up my shortcuts, I click on SOME commands (i.e. object viewer, elevation editor, etc....respectively, the command does not progress....it forces me back to a selection box cursor and I have to reselect the object.
For example, I select a pipe, I then right click, shortcut menu pops up, I select "object viewer", and then my previous slection is not granted and it asked for a new selection (it used to always just proceed with the command), I then have to select the pipe I had previously seleted, and the command proceeds as normal.
not a bid deal, but it slowing down my productivity having to select these items twice. The wierd thing is that it is not like this with all of my right click short cut commands...only a few!?

When I try to copy and paste a graphic into another illustrator file I get the message: "Can't paste the objects. The requested transformation would make some objects fall completely off the drawing area?" Do I need to change a pref setting? I'm using illus cs5.

Not sure how to word this question correctly. I saw a co-worker do a 'temp-save' on a drawing, mess around with drawing, and then come back to the spot in drawing where he had 'saved' to essetially deleting all the stuff he had done. I cannot remeber what he used to mark this and then be able to come back, but if he liked the edits he had made, he could just keep drawing.

I have a drawing view of a part with a sketch that contains some lines. I need to pick one of the sketch lines.
I can pick a line with sketch active using the kSketchCurveLinearFilter
I have not been able to pick it from outside of sketch. Have tried using kDrawingCurveSegmentFilter to get a DrawingCurveSegment but I can not get the sketch line from the DrawingCurveSegment
I assume there is a way to get the sketch line from DrawingCurveSegment or DrawingCurveObject but have not figured it out.

When selecting an object in 2013, entering the command and trying to select the object without moving the mouse will not select the object on the first pick. You must select the object a second time before the object is selected and highlighted.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Hover over desired object
2) Enter command on keyboard (M, E, CO, etc...
3) Do not move the mouse and attempt to select the object
Nothing is selected or highlighted
4) Attempt to select the object a second time
Object is now selected and highlighted
The same thing occurs if you attempt to create a selection window or crossing window immediately after entering a command without moving the mouse and clicking the first point.
This does not occur in vanilla 2012. I do have Raster Design installed with 2013, so not sure if the issue stems from the add-on or not.

1. when I edit or create text in a particualr drawing, I can't keep the editor from rotating 90 degrees.
I've tried creating a new style and it does the same thing both in model space and in Paper Space.
2. in a new drawing, the editor jumps out of drawing area on right side of drawing space by default.

Is there an 'easy' way to see a cross sectional area and measure it? I have tried getting a cross-sectional area by off-setting a work plane into the model, sketching on that plane, and pressing F7.
This shows the cross-sectional area, but when I click the inspect>area I can not select the cross-section. Any thoughts besides creating a sketch on that surface and extruding it to remove; taking the area measurement, and then undoing the extrusion?
