I have a custom .shx file for linetypes but I am not sure how to get Autocad to recognize it. What steps do I have to take to use this file in Autocad? I have searched for the ACAD.SHX file but could not find it.
View 2 RepliesBy Opening File into AutoCAD I can set the Custom Property(dwgname,dwgid,projectname) of the File. But I want to set value of these properties without opening AutoCAD application.
I can set it using:
public void SetAttributes(Hashtable hashTable,String fileOpenPath){
Document Doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.Open(fileOpenPath);
Can we create this Object using any other way??
Database Db = Doc.Database;
DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder DbSib = new DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder();
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.TransactionManager tm = Db.TransactionManager;
using (Transaction aTran = tm.StartTransaction())

why the "custom text" and "start number" is not available anymore on Export?

I am trying to create a linetype with a 3d shape included to represent road markings, i.e. central lines and edges etc.
For this I need a .shx file and I don't know how to create this as I am not allowed to select 3d objects when using the MKSHAPE command.
How can I best create a linetype with 3d objects?

View 4 Replies View Relatedthere has used a non-AASHTO curve widening formula to calculate automatic curve widening for an alignment? I'm trying to use our Agency curve widening formula which is a function of curve radius and central angle.
I'm not sure if it is even possible to use the central angle of the curve for calculating widening, or how one would go about using a non-AASHTO CW formula.
Attached is the curve widening formula that needs to be used. L will be a constant here.
In AutoCAD, I can go on the tray menu and select the scale list and select custon scales. I get the entire list I created and able to make and delete scales.
When I do the exact same thing in AutoCAD Civil 3D, it freezes up and won't let me do anyting, I then hit esc and I can start working in the drawing again.

I have a few custom linetypes created for the cut and fill daylight boundary on a grading and corridor. I have it set up to put these lines on different layers than the rest of the grading. I can turn the rest of the grading off and just have my surface created from the grading and these daylight lines on that are linked to the grading. Everything looks good when I go to paperspace to print, except when I actually print the daylight lines do not. They appear in paperspace but not on an actual hard copy. I do not need the grading, I have tried extracting the lines and deleting the grading. This presents another problem. When I extract the lines the come in as a solid line and I cannot get my custom linetype to show despite changing LT scale, etc. How can I make these lines appear in the fashion I want them to.

Using Building Design Suite Ultimate 2014
I have Edited the Conc pipe and added a new profile with three new model parameters to be used as list types in the part type. But it will not hold or change the values when selected.
My workflow (obtained from websites : [URL ]was to:
Check the custom parts flag then create the Geometry / constraints, dimensions and variables.
Added the following Variables (PWks, PDpth, PBed) to the AeccPartParamCfg file in the AeccDfParameter & pipe part type as optional parameters.
Edit the parts XML and changed the context & index for each variable.
Restart Civil3d 2013 and run partbuilder. Regen Catalog > Test Catalog.
The part is validated correctly but when I insert it into a new partslist the values I receive for the new contexts will not come in correct as to what was selected. Also after creating a pipe I can not change any of the new values (it does not hold after apply) & the bottom of the pipe in model seems to be at an incorrect level based from the actual pipe data.
The part worked as expected in partbuilder with different sizes before the XML mods.
If I re-open the pipe in Part builder I see duplicate references for the newly added contexts and their index numbers.
Should I just start again or have I done something wrong in the creation process?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a set of drawings with a large number of sheets. I need to do a mass edit of the properties for each sheet (for example update the revision number, date, checked/design/approved/drafting initials, description). The updated properties are largely similiar.
Is it necessary to update each sheet's custom properties individually, or is there an easier method?
I think this problem started after installing C3D 2012, and I don't think it's related to the UAC problems. I tried asking my reseller about it, but got no answer.
This happens with all projects that use Custom Coordinate Systems created in C3D 2011 or earlier. When opening the drawing and going into "Drawing Settings", I get this, and have to click seven times through the error box to finally have it do nothing:
Then, if I go back to Drawing Settings, I see this:
Notice how most of the dialog box settings are missing.

I created a custom shape for a custom linetype. I had no problems making it and the linetypes worked perfectly in the drawing I created it in. However, when I tried to load the linetype into another drawing it said there was a bad definition in the line with the link to the shape file. When I tried to import the shape file into the drawing to look at it, it said that the shapefile has an invalid FIle Code number (707865649). Considering that I created it not ten minutes before I do not understand what the problem is. The real problem is that I have made many linetypes and all the ones with shapes are having the same problem.
