AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exploding Feature Lines To 3D Polylines

Oct 30, 2013

I have several featurelines that I wish to explode to be 3D Polylines (bad, I know, but it's a test for a way to get data across from our design group to our survey group). 

Last week, in this drawing, I exploded a large selection of featurelines and they all became 3D polylines, preserving their elevation data. This week, I drew an additional set of featurelines in the same drawing.  When I explode them once, they lose all elevation data, becoming lpolylines at z=0.  Additionally, the Prospector shows me several errors: "breaklines not added to surface" or something similar.  Which is an odd result for the explode command. 

Why did this work once but not a second time?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Convert Units From Metric Mm To Imperial Feet / Inches

May 2, 2013

I received a .dwg file from S. Korea with dimensions and units all in the metric mm and I need the units to be in feet and inches. Is there a command to switch dimensions and units to imperial feet and inches? 

Rather than changing units in command UNITS Inches and Architectural, and SCALE 25.4, is there any other way to switch metric to imperial systems. Scaling somewhat does the trick but, provided dimensions remain in mm.

AutoCad :: Converting Imperial To Metric / Metric To Imperial

Jul 12, 2012

To convert from imperial to metric multiply the length, in inches, by 25.4 (the number of millimeters per inch).

Example: 3 inches converted to millimeters is 3*25.4 or 76.2mm.

To convert from metric to imperial multiply the length, in millimeters, by 0.03937 (the number of inches in a millimeter). For greater accuracy use 0.03937008.

Example: 100 millimeters converted to inches is 100*0.03937 or 3.937 inches.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Metric Versus Feet And Inches

Jun 14, 2012

I have a drawing in metric but I want the results in feet and inches, do I draw it in metric and have Autocad spit out a feet and Inches drawing, is that even possible. Or do I do the conversions up front and explain to the client that he will get his metric drawing back in feet and inches.

Second part, if the drawing is in metric do I open the Autocad Civil 3D metric icon or does it matter. Where I can read up on why there is a metic and imperial Autocad icon?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Metric Cross Section Scales

May 31, 2013

C3D 2012 Sp3

I have a Dref alignment, samples lines, and an Xref'd corridor in a drawing. This drawing represents a base file for cross sections. The drawing scale is set to 1:10.  I want my cross sections to be 10 horz. and 5 vert.  I create the sections views in ths drawing, with sheet production on (A0 sized sheet) and they come in perfectly in model space. I then use the production tools and create the section sheets.  Here s the problem:  The viewport on the newly created section sheets has to be set to 1:100,  not 1:10, in order for the sections to plot to the correct scale. Is the viewport ratio of 10 times smaller then the parent drawing (1:10) the correct way to create the sheets?  I thought that the viewport scale should be equal to the parent drawing model space scale (1:10).  My border in the template layout is sized in mm (A0).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Setting Up Metric DWT Starting With Custom Imperial DWT

Jun 18, 2012

I'm setting up some Civil 3D Metric dwt's & we work in Imperial units and have all of our dwt's set up for Imperial units. I'm looking for best practice tips on how to approach this task? Ideally I'd like to use what we have and not re-invent the wheel if that's possible & just convert the needed settings from Imperial to Metric.

After some experimenting it seems merely changing the "Edit Drawing Settings" Drawing Units, Ambient Settings and ddunits etc. this only gets a portion of the unit settings switched throughout the dwt.

I'm unable to switch the "Default Scale List" under Options>User Preferences>Default Scale List from Imperial to Metric as it keeps reverting to Imperial.

Additionally as I view the contents of the "Label Style Composer" of random C3d Label Styles I see inches as a unit etc. (Is there a way to globally convert these style unit settings to Metric)?

Something that seems like it should be fairly straight forward is proving to be anything but...

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

Oct 31, 2012

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?

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 Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Convert Polylines Into Double Lines With Hatch

Feb 10, 2012

I need a function that allows to convert the polylines selected with a width globalize defined in a double closed line (spaced by the same width of the polyline), with a hatch inserted automatically defined.

Brilliant idea to draw raceways quickly: instead of making handmade double lines, connect, enter the hatches all by hand, you could quickly draw the polyline with width identical to the size of the duct, and then the lisp transform it into a duct more aesthetically pleasing if compared to the full polyline!

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Get DWG File Of Metric Sheets

I would like to get a dwg file of the metric sheets, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4. I have seen these in the past, as a template in autocad but can't find them in AutoCAD2012. I need them with titleblock intact as I need to copy their format, and I would find it easier to just rearrange an existing sheet. I need the A4 as soon as possible.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Scaling To 1/2" When Using Metric

Apr 1, 2012

I am updating a drawing that someone has sent me. The drawings are to be scaled in 1/2"=1'-0", but the drawings are all done in metric. So I reset the scale list and set it at 1/2"=1'-0" in paper space ( the paper size I am working with is 8.5" x 11") when I click on the 1/2" scale my drawing becomes huge and I cant see all of it. In page setup manager I have the plot scale at 1:1 and right below that it says 1 mm and under that 1 units. In model space the drawings have been done in 1:100.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Switch Between Imperial And Metric

Nov 20, 2013

When in a drawing how do you switch between Imperial and Metric. It seems like it would be such a simple process? When I try to go to Options > User Preferences > Scale List Edit and change it, I then hit apply get back into options and it is switched back to Imperial ? I am basically trying to get this scale list format 1:10, 1:20, etc. instead of 1/4"=1'0", 1/2"=1'-0", etc.
