AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Measurements From Field Into X / Y / Z Coordinates
Jun 9, 2012
I am new in civil 3d 2012 software and i have a major problem. i am a survey engineer and i have a topcon 3005 LN total station for using in field. i want to convert measurements from field into xyz coordinates via methods of civil 3d. i find that civil 3d uses fbk format (i don't know what is it), but my total station uses TOP format (ascii)
i ll give you two examples

Any good way to convert decimal values to fractions for use in inch measurements? I have a script that works great but it returns values like 5.5638 and I'd rather it return the closest fraction answer like 5 9/16. 1/16ths would be great, but I'd settle for 1/8ths.
I started trying to come up with a large if with lots of > and < conditions, but it might be better not to reinvent the wheel.

i am trying to translate a Point coordinates from Paperspce to world coordinates in model space.The code i used in Land2006 worked OK but now in Civil3d 2012 it doesn't!
Private Sub GetPlais_Click()
Dim tmpnt1 As Variant, tmpnt2 As Variant, tmpPnt1 As Variant
Dim lole(0 To 2) As Double, upri(0 To 2) As Double
Dim returnobj As AcadObject

I was swapping between these 2 co-ordinates systems. I have drawings that have been started in ISG, but now the designs from 12D etc are being output in MGA, going forward MGA is now the standard and will have to be adopted.
How to convert from ISG - MGA? i have use of Autocad 2010, and also Autocad map 2008 however i'm new to cad map!! i also have use of microstation which seems to have more co-ordinate system features but i'm not familiar with them!

Any way to convert multiple fields to text? I've got a bunch of m-text objects, and they each have a field that references a polyline. (example: field=elevation of pline). I like to convert the fields to text when I need to send the file to someone, so that they can't inadvertently change the values. For now, I use the right click menu in the text editor for convert field to text, but I'd like to be able to change multiples at once. CAD 2008.

I'm trying to convert coordinates from "LL-GDA94" to "MGA-56" (Australia's coordinates ) and i get the following massage.
"Can't transform point to Lat Long"
I do it through the following lisp routine:
(setq AA (ADE_PROJSETSRC "LL-GDA94" ) )
(SETQ BB (ADE_PROJSETDEST "MGA-56" ) )
(SETQ CC (GETPOINT) )
(SETQ DD (ADE_PROJPTFORWARD CC ) )
also i have tried to remove the Z coordinates but still does not work .

I have been tasked with trying to create some type of template (or multiple templates, if needed) to convert my coordinates (some having straight lines and some having arcs) into a script file. I will be gathering the coordinates from an excel file then linking them to my script file.
My problem is, I have hundreds of sets of coordinates (all with varying arcs and straight lines and varying order in which arcs and lines are used) in which I'm trying to establish a method to convert to a script file. Also, the total number of lines (arcs and straight) vary. Some have as little as 10 lines and some contain as many as 20 lines total.
I have successfully created a script file using one set of coordinates but can't imagine doing this hundreds of times over. I have attached a PDF file showing an example of the coordinates along with the radii (in some cases there is no radius, therefore must be a straight line) and how I can accomplish this without creating a script file for each and every set of coordinates I have. The example I have is only a small portion of what I am working with.

I've got hundreds of files to convert.
In VBA, how can I batch convert field attributes in blocks to text attributes while retaining the blocks? Is there a simple way to univerally convert them all at onceusing VBA? The plotted values for the fields must be retained, too.
Explode will not retain the value of the field.
Burst will not work as it explodes the blocks as well.
You can right-click on the field and slelct "Convert to text" from the RCM. So I know that the process exists within CAD, just need to batch the process for a quantity of DWGs at a time - in VBA.

We are trying to begin importing data directly from Tremble field book files into CAD so that we can process survey linework. What we are seeing is a shift of about 2 feet from the imported survey network and what the CSV values are when exported from the data controller.

I have an alignment which is complete in all respects. Profile also has been finalized. now the the survey (joint cross section) has been carried out and the output is in the form of field books. we hav the data in formate like we hav km and than offset left and right and than elevation.
my question is that how to use this data in civil 3d for creating cross sections and computing earth fill quantities.

I have GeoPDF that I can't attach properly to drawing in Civil 3D. So with Global Mapper I exported it to geo-referenced ECW. I checked ECW in Global Mapper and ArcMap, everything just fine.
However when I did mapiinsert in Civil 3D, image appeared with shifted coordinates. The original coordinate system is BC/Albers and coordinate grid is Lat/ Longs.

Found a link to some code (URL...) to automatically place an Mtext field to label assemblies. It was written for C3D 2009/2010 but I can't get it to work for 2011 - any VBA gurus care to take a look to see if it will run (or not) on 2011.

I have a 1 mile road topo coming up for design purposes. The curb is standard, but there is full curb & depressed curb. If you had your way from the CAD seat, what shots do you prefer?
Most accurate I've seen iis Centerline, Edge Pavement/Edge Concrete Gutter, Flowline Gutter, Face Curb, Back Curb. More fieldwork, but made a good product.
What I have seen is CL, EP, BC, then "let them just use a template" and several variations thereof.
I have never seen a good way to automatically offset from say BC only and handle depressed curb by field coding.

I have a field in a block and all the FIELDEVAL variables are set as shown in the screenshot but the field doesn't update on REGEN - I have to issue the UPDATEFIELD command to update the field.
There was a previous thread started in March 2011 with the same problem - is this another unresolved bug? (No connection with Autodesk other than using the products in the real world)

i have a point file specifically a PNEZD file. when i import points into the survey database the coordinate in the database is correct but the coordinate on the drawing tends to be 5 feet off one way and 1 foot off the other. When I import point through the points pull-down menu the coordinates are correctly shown. When I import point into survey database from drawing the coordinate is incorrect in the database but correct on screen.

I'm just looking for some basic information about geo-markers and am having a hard time finding anything. What exactly is the geo-marker, and what is it used for? Is it important to have referenced? I know how to set the coordinates and to turn the visibility off. I'm just wanting info about what the geo-marker is, and it's uses.

i've got a bunch of points that need a coordinate label. my drawing is on a state plane coordinate base but i want the point labels to be on an artificial coordinate base. i basically need to start in the corner of a parking lot at 0,0 and work my way out from there with the coordinates based on that 0,0. Is this a possibility?

Here is the problem; corridor and its surface, etc are designed but there is no "obvious" way to get coordinates in order to layout the road in the field. There is the option to get COGO points from corridor via "create COGO POINTS" / "CREATE GROUND DATA" but this option refers only to points based on baseline in any station of the corridor and not in any station i would like to.

My drawing settings is set for US Feet. My Data Collector is set for US Feet. I only import a txt file into the drawing. My txt file coordinates match my Data Collector but never in the drawing. We're only talking about hundredth but I don't understand why it changes in the first place.
Example
Point 1 in txt file & DC --- 10000N 5000E
but in drawing --- 9999.98N 4999.99E
Point 2 in txt file & DC ---- 9624.7230N, 4971.5346E
in drawing ----- 9624.7422N, 4971.5445E

I'm a GIS analyst trying to learn Cad. I'd like to place a single point in autocad model space at a specific Northing/Easting position. After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.
