AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating Alignment With Select Object
Nov 2, 2012 I have a problem when i create an alignment with Select Object. The Chainage is not coming properly.
And here i attached the Print screen.
I have a problem when i create an alignment with Select Object. The Chainage is not coming properly.
And here i attached the Print screen.
I have a data grid view with all alignments included in the drawing file. If I choose an alignment in data grid view, I have Id of that alignment.
I have a button, and I would like that if i press that button then selects that alignment in the drawing(graphic). I would like that there was only one object selected, and if there are more selected objects before,then un-selected them.
I have seen in internet, the code snipset:
"Autodesk.Autocad.Internal.Utils.SelectObjects(objectId[ ] Ids)"
Is it obligatory that objectId be able a List or array?
and
"Editor,SetImpliedSelection"
But I don´t understand them. Are there any full samples about his?
I've attached a screenshot of the error I get when I try to run slope stake reports. I have 8 lanes of road and 2 out of 8 have no issues at all. The error shown does NOT appear and all the link codes become available for the slopestake report. I have attached this image as well. I have nothing to go on at this point. The design is finished, i'm in a bind, and good old Civil 3D descides to stick it to "the man".

When I try to create an Alignment from objects, I can only use a 2D polyline, not 3D. The berm has a slope to it and I need to have the assembly follow that slope as I create the Corridor. Do I need to create the Alignment in 2D and then edit the points for elevation?

I wanted to get the (x,y,z) of the stations of an alignment, but sounds not to work.
In the screenshots below, I got the message “The specified station is not valid for this object” and couldn’t proceed!

I've been asked to create a 3D poly from a given alignment and profile.
The only way I know to do it, is to create a feature line using the "createfeaturelinefromalign" command and exploding it.
My problem is that the resulting 3D poly loses a lot of the "precision" the feature line had (how closely it followed the alignment).
another way to create a 3D poly or of some method of maintaining the feature precision when exploding it?
I have started having issues when creating alignments from objects.
I am building roads from plans for setout on site, I receive 2d linework and need to build the 3d road up. I join the required linework into a polyline so I can make a few checks that the lengths and so on are correct before I continue. Then usually I would just go and make an alignment from the polyline.
e.g. Monday I was setting up 3 intersections and dealing with 6 kerb returns on there. The first 2 created correctly, then when I created the 3rd one I couldn't see it. Then when I did zoom extents it was way off to the left and a mirror of the linework I was trying to create it from. It did it to a further 2 of them and the other 2 came out correctly.
Now it is doing to me when trying to create a centreline.
When i am creating alignment from object(six 2D polylines) it convert first poly line only to alignment.orther polylines show as a alignment ,but can't label or create profile.

Previously i have included a small gap between two alignments to get around the problem when a housing plot is created (see the attached dicument) when a closed alignment is created, Is there any way of getting rid of this?
View 9 Replies View Relatedi am trying to get the coordinate value for the current station in the subassemblies.
i found
Autodesk.Civil.Roadway.DatabaseServices.BaseBaseline.StationOffsetElevationToXYZ(ByRef Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d) As Autodesk.AutoCAD.Geometry.Point3d
but how you get the basebaseline?
in the alignment object there is no convert station to coordinate only coordinate to station. which is useless in this case.

Having a rough time with Pipe Networks! I am working an example from the Mastering C3D book (P. 371) as in the following steps:
1.Clicked SS structure(16)
2.Selected Create Alignment from Network on ribbon
3.Selected last structure(18), hit Enter
4.Changed options as needed in Create Align from Network - Create Profile and Profile View check box: Selected
5.Changed options and clicked Create Profile View
At this point the program pauses, then a dialog box trys to partially fill the screen but is all white then fades away as fast as it appeared and I'm stuck with a paperweight that beeps at me everytime I click the mouse, no panning or zooming response at this time. The command line is prompting me for the profile origin. I can switch to other apps and bring up TM and when I attempt to end C3D then it tells me that it can't because waiting for response. I can then cancel the prompt to save the drawing and C3D exits the active command and control is returned.

I am working on creating an alignment from a single polyline. The polyline, which was originally created in Carlson 2012, is a flat polyline that is about 1200 feet in length. When I select it with create alignment from object, it accepts it and seems to work. For some reason though, the stationing is way off --- e.g. the true 50' mark is showing up as 0+04.17 which results in an end station of 0+99.31 on a 1191' polyline.
edit> I also have tried this with a brand new polyline I created in civil3d, same issue.
is it possible to get the alignment name which the corridor surface is built from when the surface is being data referenced. in other word no corridor as the middleman.
the way i see it is when corridor suface is referenced, it becomes a regular surface and loses some properties such as parent alignment.
i am still using COM. maybe .net can do it? either way works.

Using C3d 2013.
Where do I find the PI data of an alignment object to plug into a mtext Field?
Field Category and Field Name and any other steps to locating it would be useful.
We have a perenial problem with our old GIS software where files corrupt and drawing objects are lost.
There are few export options available, but export to shape is one of them. This means that I can export a damaged file and then import it into CAD with the layers intact and the tagged numbers (similar to object data or a block attribute in CAD) imported as object data. In order to make a new uncorrupted version for the GIS program.
Is there a way to select objects by object data?
If a file is corrupted, the only real way to repair it at the moment is to go back to the original cad drawing and reimport and then retag every single tagged attribute on what can be thousands of drawing objects, and by then we may no longer have the handdrawn data to even do that.
The next workaround is if I creat new dwgs from the cad drawing, Each one containing the objects with the same object data, and each saved with a file name that matches that object data, and then reimport into the GIS. (it can use the filename as a tag). This creates a new GIS file with the surviving information that should not lose any more data and we may be able to patch the 'holes' afterwards.
The problem is selecting all the polylines in the cad drawing that have that same tagged number in the object data. Select similar just goes on object type and layer. This would be easier if I could select by object data and get everything with the same tag in one go.
A way to batch create the new dwgs from that selected data would be nice too.

Mainly, I would like to find it the "Multiple Object Select Ribbon" in the CUI editor, and change its "CONTEXTUAL DISPLAY TYPE" from FULL to MERGED, if this is possible.
View 1 Replies View Relatedi've made a serpantine curve that starts from one line of alignment and end on the other line.
i wanted to know how can c change alignment direction when these two feature line and alignment meet each other in order to change the alignment path?
I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a question on Alignment PI's. (Point of Inflection/Intersection)I have an alignment where some PI's have curves, others are merely hard bends.
Is there a way to automatically label the PI's even if they have an associated curve? (I'd like PI, PC and PT)Alternatively, can I only show markers at PI's without curves?
I'm trying to edit some existing alignments. When I create new entities, they do not show up in the alignment grid view. Why is this?

Launching alignment grid view/alignment entities,
I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.
Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.
In Quick Select command function, I want to use more properties value to select one type text or other object.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo today I was creating a road centerline to make into an alignment. The road has many curves. So I was making circles and connecting them with lines while snapping from tangent to tangent. So far, so good.
Went I go to trim the circles using the lines I drew tangent to tangent, it says that there are no intersecting edges. WTF? When I zoom way in, the line is not touching the circle. Now, I know that visually that is NBD. When I run a distance check, snapping from endpoint to perpendicular, there is a measurement of zero. UGH!
So to get work done I've been having to break the circle and the 2 points, then erase the rest. This is such a PITA and I've never had anything like this happen.
P.S. I'm running Civil 3D 2013.
The top line is the circle, the bottom is the line tangent to it.

I tried to place the text ABCDE inside of one rectangle (drawn by polyline), in such a way that, the text should be exactly at "Middle Centre" of that rectangle.
I could achieve this 90% purely by my own judgment.
Even when, I tried to draw a rectangle just to touch all 4 sides vertices of the text ABCDE, I could not get any OSNAP points on the text to start a line. Can we treat a "Text" object the way we deal with any other geometrical object - Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle or Ellipse?
Is there anyway to copy an alignment from one drawing to another?I want to copy the alignment but not have it come in as a alignment just an object line
I don't want to spend the time drawing a PL over the top of it (its a very complex) then copying that.
I trying in max 2012 to select some object(object count 600)by select from sence option but this selection process is taking long time.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI imported Google earth surface (at eye alt 600m) to civil 3d 2012 and created an alignment of length 181m.
When I exported same alignment to Google earth , it showed the length as 190m ( the difference increases with increase in length of alignment) And also the profile view of the alignment in the Civil D & Google earth varies.
