Anytime i have to go backwards it is such a hassle. In this case i need to convert it to 2010 with no aec objects.
I have etransmit to 2010 exploded aec, but the wipeouts become 3d faces. I feel i spend way more time then it should take. Are there any third party softwares?

Civil 3d 2012 SP2 - When using "Align Space" from the layout Panel of the Express Tools ribbon, I am not able to align the viewport correctly. It seems to be working backwards. I am trying to orient a viewport to something other than a cardinal direction, but for the sake of clarity, I will use an example using cardinal directions. If I am trying to orient the viewport so that North is at the right side of the page, when prompted for the model space alignment I select a line that goes from south to north in model space. When prompted for the paper space alignment, I select a line that goes from left to right. I would expect that north would end up on the right side, but it is on the left side. When experimenting a little, it seems like it is using the model space alignment as the paper space alignment and the paper space alignment for the model space alignment.

Is there any way converting surface to 2d hatch ? I am making plan view to show materials used to make my road , to do that i need to hatch all the plan in different hatches ( for example sidewalks - green, paves -yellow, shoulders - brown... ) .
I could try hatching closed polylines made from corridor feature lines , but i get often an error that my boundaries aint closed . SO i started to think , maybe there is a way to do something from surfaces.
I am trying to convert my corridors to solids and under toolspace-settings-corridor-commands there is a command called export corridor to solid but this option is not coming up in my toolspace.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am doing a little trial and error on possibly converting a drawing from .ctb to .stb. When we start a new drawing, it will be started using named plot styles so it shouldn't be an issue. But there are times when we receive a drawing from someone else and need to convert it.
The first thing I did was convert ctb to create a conversion .stb. Then I used convert pstyles to convert the drawing to named plot styles. For the plot style table I chose the conversion .stb I just created because it needs a color mapping table.
But I don't want to use the converted .stb table, I want to use my company plot style. So when I am in layer properties manager, Plot Style is still grayed out and I can't change it.
When I type in pstylemode, the default is 0 (read only). How do I change it so it's not read only and I can use my own plot style table?
I have some polylines that mark the edge of roadway and around the curves there are arcs in the linework. How do I turn the polyline with arcs in it into a polyline with vertices, say, every .5' or so along the curve and turn the curve into a polyline? I tried the pedit and using decurve but it doesn't work well.

I have a project that I need to get GIS data converted to CAD so I can edit in CAD. I am not looking to convert it back to GIS. I've tried the Export to CAD but all I get is line work. The GIS data is for water, sewer & drainage. I need to get the manholes, valves, etc. Not being familiar with the GIS software (ArcGIS) Maybe part of the problem is not using a seed file in the conversion.

When using "convertpstyles" to convert from ctb to stb I am asked to select a stb file. When I do I am given an error that says the color mapping table I have selected does not contain a color mapping table and cannot be used to convert the drawing.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I am attempting to create a simple grading daylight. I began with a 3D Polyline that has only 2 verticies. When I "Convert Feature Lines from Objects," it creates a feature line with 4 verticies. The 1st and last have the initial elevations from the 3D Poly, but the 2 new verticies seem to be pulling elevations off the surface below where I am working.
My questions are: 1) why are new verticies added? 2) can this be prevented?
I know that I can overwrite the slopes in elevation editor, but this seems like an unnecesarry extra step.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been trying to convert my offices blocks to dynamic blocks and this one is giving me a hassle.
Essentially we have a line with an arrow at the end of it to show drainage pathways. I added a multiline attribute so we can add the percentage along the line with a mask. The line, arrow and attribute all need to be able to be aligned perpendicular or tangent to a given line. Everything looks great until the arrow flips sides to work from the other direction and then the text is mirrored backwards.
Mirrtext is set to 0 and I even tried it while in the Beditor to see if there was independent. Multiline or Regular attribute have the same effect as well as if they are locked position or not.
I tried adding a flip, but then the mirrortext settings work just fine and the text won't flip back.
Why I get a process error batch converting these drawings? The command line says could not bind xrefs but I clearly checked the option not to bind.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAny program or routine in lisp or net that can select a group of 3d polylines in the form of a tin and convert them all to 3d faces?
I know that I can take the 3d polylines and explode them to 3d lines. Then I can use map clean to delete the duplicate lines. Then I can create a C3D surface using the 3d lines. Then I can extract 3d faces from the surface.
Since I'm so darn clever I decided I could "save as" a 2009C3d-32bit drawing to 2011C3D-64bit. This drawing was working just peachy for a while. There are no data links. The drawing contained 2009 surface and point groups. I imported some Pipe styles created in 2011. Created 800' of profile,and my pipe network. When I was closing the drawing I got a lot of errors wanting to know if I wanted to save changes to VBA-pipes. Seemed like a good idea at the time so I said Yes. This morning I opened the drawing and it's there but the surface from 2009 no longer has it's Definition data. The point group is gone, breaklines are gone. I needed to remove one lousy bad point out of my surface. The points in the drawing now have three copies and one has the elevation in the point description and you can't fix it. The 3 labels are all tied together and if you erase one they all disappear. I am going to wing it from here and get this puppy out of the office with a little old fashioned autocad. This is my question. Should I have just started a new drawing in 2011, clipped all my old line work and text from the 2009, imported the points and rebuilt my surface? Did I do something wrong and there was some way I should have been able to make this work? I was running 2009 and 2011 on my computer but had to remove 2009 last week. It no longer like livng with his better looking brother "2011" and I had to put him out. I have numerous small projects created in 2009 so this will happen again.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a baseplan I was sent for senior design project and it was previously created in an earlier version of autocad. However Im not sure which version it was created in. There are almost 3000 points and contours but I can not use these points to create a surface. I am ultimately trying to create a surface and then a profile for a road to design vertical curves throughout.
I cut out a few points and copied them into a new drawing due to the size of the actual file

View 2 Replies View RelatedI added Keywords to many jpg files when I should have added them to their scanned source files (tifs). Is there an efficient way to copy them from the jpg versions to their tif “originals?” Except for the suffixes, they are identically named. I know the keywords assigned to any one jpg can be dragged to its tif version (or to any any other image file).
But I have about nine thousand of them, each with its own set of keywords, and each with its own tif source file (with no keywords). Is there a way to automate this transfer en mass? Is there a way to tell the jpgs to transfer their keyword metadata to other files with the same names (minus prefix) or to any other files?
