AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Default Description Key

Mar 31, 2011

I know the default Description Key Sets can be set in the Properties.  If I set the order in our template drawing this does not seem to hold when a new drawing is started with the template.  How can I set the default description key for when a new dwg is created from the template?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Apply Default Style To Points Not In Description Keys?

Sep 23, 2013

Can I apply a default style to points with a raw description not in the description key sets?

When I import survey points into the drawing my description keys will assign specifed styles (and therefore layers) to descriptions it recognises, and a default style (and layer) to ones it does not recognise.

Then if i change raw descriptions in the drawing I can "Apply description keys" and have the styles and layers change based on the changes I made to the raw description. This is fine for descriptions in the key set.

Can I get Civil3D to apply the default style to points that did have a description that is in the DKS but has now been changed to one that is not? As it works for me now, these points remain unchanged in there layer and style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Raw description Not Within Description Key

Oct 21, 2011

we are updating fron LDD 2004 to Civil 3D 2012 needles to say it a huge change. I've got my template almost done I'm just having one problem. With LDD any point that came in with a raw descripitoin not within the description key it would be placed in the current layer with point number, descripton and elevation. How do I make that happen with Civil3D do I have to change my default lable settings? When I import points with a raw description not within my description key it places the point on Layer 0 and only shows the node no point number.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Keys Settings

May 5, 2012

For some reason in my base template for field work the "Disable Description Keys" option in Points  Creation is set to "true"

How can make this default to "False" in my template. I've tried changing it and then saving the template again but it reverts to true all of the time. I have to select my points and do apply desc keys whenever I import points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Blocks For Description Keys

Jan 10, 2013

Civil 3D Newbie here.

I am making a directory full of the blocks we will use for the description key file to use. My understanding is that all of these blocks (manholes, hydrants, trees...etc) should be on layer "0" and of standard size. Manholes should be about 3' in diameter, transformer pads around 4' square....etc. Essentially, 1 = 1 true scale.

Is this true?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Description Keys With Linework?

Jul 18, 2013

I currently use Leica Viva Smartworks for surveying and it captures the linework codes in its own field, so when I export my CSV file my Descrition comes on with the feature code but the linework code is another field. Is their a way that using the Format field in the description Key that I can get the Full description field to read something like "V-DOMW-PIPE B", which would pull the feature code from the raw descrition field and the begin line code from the Linework field.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Key Format Using Parameters

Feb 21, 2012

Is there a way to change a RAW description such as EC12 +, or EC11 -, to say SWP12 +, SWP11 -

I'm not having much luck using the parameter settings. 1$

I tried Code = EC*, format=SWP1$

That didn't work... I got literally SWP1$ instead of SWP12 +

Is it a space thing?  Do I have to rename all the descriptions to have a space before the parameter?

i.e. EC 12 +

I'm hoping this isn't the case and some form of wildcard can be use.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Keys With Number

Jun 13, 2012

Creating a format to keep a number following a code.

My code is BCCD#

My format is DFL CC $+

My result now is:

Raw Desc.  BCCD1 B  (Bottom of Concrete Ditch)

Full Desc. DFL B CC  (Ditch Flow Line and Type)

I am attempting to create a key that will create the following full description from the raw description:

Raw Desc.  BCCD1 B  (Bottom of Concrete Ditch)

Full Desc. DFL1 CC  B (Ditch Flow Line and Type)

The reason that I need to change the description is to comply with certain standard codes from an outside entity but I do not wish to change the filed coding that we use in house.  I cannot seem to find a parameter that would allow me to keep the number behind the DFL descriptor

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Description Gets Truncated?

Nov 28, 2012

In LDDT 2009, I was able to describe points like this: STK #32

But in Civil 3D 2013, whenever I use the # symbol, the description gets truncated.  So, using the point description above, it will show up in Civil 3D 2013 as STK rather than STK #32.

Is this a setting or something that I can switch on so that the I can use symbols such as # and - in my point description?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Null Structure Description

Apr 18, 2011

We use a lot of Null Structures but then give them different descriptions.  More often than not when I give them a description and then get out of the drawing, the next time I get back in it says "Null Structure" again.   How can I keep the description the way I want it?

I know that "the right way" would be to have specific structures made for each of these items, but that doesn't seem to be a priority at my company..

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Key Set With Linework Coding

Apr 22, 2013

We are using the linework coding to process our figures and the survey .txt file provided to me uses codes to begin lines with "+" & "-".  For example, driveways are coded + DR1 for begin and - DR1 to end the line. The linework process works fine, its when I go to display the point in the description keys that are causing me problems.  All the points that are in between the begin and end points display to the appropriate style because they are coded as DR*. The begin and end do not display correctly as the + & - isn't being recognized in the description key. I tried many alternate ways such as *DR*, + DR*, - DR*, with nothing working.

Is there a different format I need to be using?   There are way to many points to go thru to move the + & - behind the code.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Freeze Point Number And Description

Dec 4, 2012

I just received a drawing with a bunch of points in it. One of the layer is called V-ROAD-CNTR-PNTS. Unfortunately, the point number, description, and elevation are all in that same layer. How do I keep just the elevation turned on but turn off the point description and number? When I turn off or freeze the layer V-ROAD-CNTR-PTNS, all three disappear. I just need the elevation showing.

Attached is an image of my screen.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: COGO Points Description And Styles

Sep 10, 2012

How to set a default point description to match the point number. I need to match the point number and the point description as per below:

Point # = 1 - Description = 1Point # = 2 - Description = 2Point # = 3 - Description = 3and so on.

Is there a quick way to add this description once the points are already created?

Also, it seem I can't make the default style and label to work. I edited the Feature Setting on the Setting tab of the Toolspace and I made sure there's no child override. When I open the point creation menu, my default styles are there (grayed out), but when I create the points, they pick up another style and another label style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: XML Parcel Legal Description Errors

Oct 12, 2010

While generating a General Legal Description for Parcels xml report for a parcel with numerous tangent curves, reverse curves and compound curves, the report labels all of them as non-tangent.Also, I write my legal descriptions for curves by citing the bearing and distance OUT to the radius from the beginning of the curve, but the routine gives me the bearing and distance IN from the radius. It is using the code {curveStartDirection}.

Is there a different code I can use that would give me the opposite bearing? Is there some resource that lists all these codes for parcels?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Blocks And Description Keys?

Mar 15, 2012

I am trying to set up our templete and I am having issues.  I have set up description keys and such. When I import our survey data all comes in (ie blocks and linework). The problem is when I try to plot the block that are inserted on what appears to be the correct layer they do not plot out.  When I freeze the point layer the block disappears as well. What setting am I missing that will create the blocks according to the description key and keep them on a separate layer like it did in Land Desktop but keep them dynamic? I am not sure if the subscription service covers.
