AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Combining Feature Data (Adding Data To Shape File)

Apr 24, 2012

I have a master shape file that contains parcel ID, owner, tax info., etc. I have another file ( access 2003 -open to better file format suggestions-) which contains parcel ID and a "yes" or " no" entry for whether or not the parcel needs a new water meter. All I want to do is add the water meter information into the other shape file. This would create one shape file with one table with all the information that I need.

Ultimately I will use the information to do a map query and find out spatially where i need new water meters.

Right now i have the master shape file connected though the “Connect to Data” feature. I also have the new data added to the drawing though the Data sources------>attach under the “Map Explorer” Task pane. I attached access file (ver. 2003 .mdb) which has two columns “Parcel ID” and “Meter”.

I right click on the shape file under the display manager and select”Create a Join;” however my water meter table is not listed as an option. Will this not work?

Plan B - I tried to Create and connect to the access file as an ODBC connection. Followed this guy’s directions to a T [URL]. But when i populate my table under the fdo connection the column headings exist ( “parcel ID” and “Meter”) but the actual data is missing. Am I missing something important?

Note: I am running c3d 2012 on a  Win 7 64 Bit machine. I also removed office 32 bit apps and installed 64 bit apps to see if that would solve the problem. No go.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Adding Data To A Feature Data Table?

Jan 20, 2012

Is it possible to add data to a feature data table?  Example: The shape file data downloaded from NRCS only has the Soil number for the State.  As I check out features I would like to add data for the soil name, soil group, etc. as additional columns in the data table and have it available in the future by checking the feature back in to my local information.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Polyline To Feature Line Interpolates Wrong Data

Aug 29, 2013

I have created a feture line from a 2d polyline. 

I have NO weed appplied and as you can see there are two errors :

- some points on original surface (used to get Z) are not interpolated.

- the quick profile shows error : in addition to lacking points, others are bad interpolated.

(the image show both)

The surface used behaves rightly with feature lines created from aligments 

(I have created an aligment from polyline and then a fetaure line from that and the Z interpolation are ok )

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Import SHP File And Create Object Data - Map Feature Annotation

Jul 3, 2012

I have centerline data from SHP file that I can either import or attach to.  Has a few lines of object data with it including a centerline of road name.  Each one unique.  When I attach to the data, I can then "join" with it additional data from a database.  When I select a line and look at the properties, it contains both the original object data AND the additional data from the database.  SO far So good.

When I edit the style and try to add feature labels only part of the labels come in.  I end up with a lot of them with only the letters "text" or just not there.  If I right-click on the line and select "Show Data Table" I can confirm that there is data for that label.  I find nothing in common with the map features that have labels, or don't have labels.  Kind of random.

Question: If I import the SHP file and create object data I need to know if there is a way to "ADD" the rest of my data that is in the database to this object data.  If so then I think I could define a Template and label each piece with the block with attributes.  Is this possible?  OR

Is it possible for me to export to a new SHP file after I have connected to the data (both shp file and database).

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Extracting Shape File Data

Oct 9, 2012

I am trying to import a Shape file and extract the attribute data associated with the 'lines' (sewer pipes) into text format.

for example a pipe has an attribute showing the pipe diameter and intead of having to manually type it out I would like a way to extract that information.

Is there a way to do it? Whether using a specific method during the importing of the Shape file or another process?

*I use AutoCAD Map 3D 2011.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Survey Data To A Surface

Dec 16, 2013

I am using AC3D 2014.  I have created a surface from downloaded DEM points, but, as expected, the contours are not as accurate as I would like.  They vary from known elevations anywhere from a few inches to several feet.

I also have survey data from approximately 500 points which include Northings, Eastings and Elevations.  Is there a way to add these points to my existing contour surface and incorporate these know NEZ points such that he contour surface is more accurate?

I have already converted my "known point" file to a .txt format with comma delimited information.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use FDO Data To Populate Custom Data Field Expression

Apr 10, 2013

say you make some parcels in your project with custom data fields like: id_no, permit_no, acres_served etc. you attach an agency provided shape file via an fdo connection that has many fields of information like above.

when you right click on your parcel and do parcel properties you get a tab that lets you input the custom parcel data.

lets say you print an fdo map label showing, say, the id_no, provided in the shape file.  Then in your custom parcel properties for id_no you type that in.

is there a way to make an expression to put in the other custom parcel properties that will read, say, the permit_no(id_no) from the fdo like and put that information in the custom parcel property field?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Shortcuts Transferring Super Elevation Data

Jun 7, 2012

I'm having problems getting super elevation data to transfer to different drawings by means of an alignment data shortcut.  I know alignments hold the super elevation data so I've gone into my alignments data shortcut, input my super elevation data, saved and closed.  Now when I open my finished grade drawing, reference in my alignment and profiles, then create a corridor from that information, my super elevation didn't transfer with the reference.

I pulled cross sections and it appears is has no clue there is any super elevation data.  Also, I tried bringing it directly into the drawing I'm doing my corridors in and it erred saying I must be in the parent alignment drawing.  Data shortcuts are pretty much useless to me if super elevation data doesn't transfer.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adding Data To A Surface / Non-Destructive Breakline

Nov 7, 2012

When adding data to a surface, there is the option to add it as a "Non-destructive" breakline. [URL] .....

What is this good for? I created a surface, copied it, and created a volume surface between the two of them. As expected, the resultant volume was 0.

I then draw a 3d polyline and snapped to elevations on the surface. I then took that 3d polyline and moved it up 5'. I then added that breakline to the surface as a "Non-destructive" breakline and the resultant volume between the original surface and the one modified with the new breakline was still 0. Absolutely no change was made to the actual surface, it just added additional triangles. 

I'm trying to find a reason it's even option and I'm coming up blank. There has to be SOME reason it's there.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Edit Some Values In The Data Table Of A Shape File With 2013?

Mar 12, 2013

I want to edit some values in the data table of a shape file (*.shp) with AutoCAD Map 3d 2013. Every time I alter a value in data table it takes about 30 seconds until AutoCAD Map saves (?) the value. I have to wait 30 second until I can continue working. Why is this so slow?

The shape file has 7000 lines and is stored on a local drive.

AutoCAD Map 3D :: GIS Data - Feature Was Not Saved In The Target Feature Source

Jun 16, 2011

I have been working with some GIS data in the form of SHP files in autocad map 3D 2011. On one of my layers I have started getting "Feature was not saved in the target feature source" when I try to check in my data. In total there are 308 errors in the data table, all of which were features I deleted. They all have a featID of null and I cannot remove them from the data table. I need to fix these errors without going back and starting over.

Premiere Pro :: Saving / Adding Data To XMP File Metadata

Dec 12, 2013

In the past I've been successful adding and storing metadata to the 'Description' column in the project window in the past with the 'Link' symbol activated in the Metadata panel under 'ile'>Dublin Core>>Description. This would allow me to retain the description metadata when the media is imported into a different project.
 
However I am using this same procedure this week, but the data does not seem to be saving/adding to the XMP 'File' metadata.  See screen shot below.  I've experienced this problem within different proejcts and with the three main media types in our production house: XDCAM EX, P2 MXF and Ikegami MXF.
 
Why this would work previously, but not now? Is it related to the latest version updates?
 
This is a PC, Windows 7 system.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Data From A File Into The Drawing

Jul 18, 2012

I imported survey data from a file into the drawing and created a surface from the points and figures. No problem. Engineer wanted to change the datum from assumed to known. At this point all figures have been copied to a new layer flattened and changed to 2D polylines in order to hatch. Then the figures reimported. I raised all the points with the edit datum and raised the figures with edit survey figures. Surface was adjusted and tweaked. Everything was fine. I open the drawing and all the figures are back at assumed datum and the points are on the right datum. Now when I tweak the surface it uses the bogus elevations from the figures.  How can I get my figures to save the adjusted elevations?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Insert SID File Using Data Connect

Jul 26, 2013

I am trying to insert an Mr Sid file using Data Connect. I am running 2011 C3D. When I try adding the file to the dwg, it tries to execute the query, but then I get an error "There was a problem adding data to map."

The folder containing the SID file has two other files...the .sdw file and the metadata file. Is there another file missing? Or is the SID file too large...it's 1.6GB.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Shortcuts - Updating Due To Corrupt File?

Jan 6, 2014

I’ve recreated and replaced a corrupt drawing, which contained surfaces that were data referenced into multiple files. Is there a way to update the data shortcuts, so other drawings referencing the surfaces are unaffected? I’ve tried moving the corrupt drawing to an archived folder and naming the new drawing and surfaces to match the old. However, I’m not able to repair the broken shortcuts in the other drawings. The surfaces are referenced in a large construction plan set that includes sections, profiles, and numerous labels based on the surfaces – it will be very time consuming to create a new reference in each drawing.

(I'm using Civil 3D 2013.)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Shortcut File Names With Multiple DS References?

I have a data shortcut file where i keep my EG surface that now has File Name.dwg [DS] [DS] [DS] [DS]. What's the deal? Has this managed to morph itself into something it's not. It used to have only one, had two for awhile, and now 4 references to the DS (Datashort cut project folder).

Have I done something wrong here to get these wonky file names, would be nice to see just 1 reference being made to my DS Project folder.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: SHP File Data Connect Imports To Wrong Coordinate System

Jul 11, 2013

When the attached shape file (change soilmu_a_a.txt to .shp) is imported using MAPIMPORT the data aligns with other imported georeferenced raster imagery (said imagery was imported using the MAPIINSERT command).  If the same shape file is imported using the data connect tool it shows up in a much different location (see word document).

The drawing coordinate system code is "UTM83-18F" and the data was downloaded from the Web Soil Survey's data download with the identical coordinate system (see attached readme.txt).

I prefer to use the data connect option when importing this type of shape file because I can label them all using a theme and use stylize the data for visualization/presentation.

As an aside, I have found that data connect does not automatically transform data coordinate systems to match your drawing coordinate system as advertised.  I've used the edit coordinate system to no avail; however, again when the file is imported using MAPIMPORT and saved as a drawing (with native data coordinate system) and then that drawing is queried from a drawing in a different coordinate system it seems to transform the coordinate system just fine.  Is this a problem with data connect?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Convert Connected Feature Data To Real Polylines And Text

In autocad 2013 is the best way still to convert data you have connected to, for example a shape file, as feature data in order to convert that into polylines and text is the best method saving it all as a seperate drawing using the "save as autocad drawing command"?  Is there way to do it individually in the current drawing so that I do not always have to be saving things out as seperate drawings and then copy and pasting them back into my working drawing?
