AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding The Extents Of Label Components

Nov 29, 2012

I am having some difficulty figuring out how to get the extents to a civil 3d label object. I want to be able to select a label, and draw a custom polyline around it (in dragged state) and draw a leader or multiple leaders from that new polyline. I just can't seem to figure out how to get at the label data itself.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reorder Label Style Components

Dec 1, 2013

I want to modify the default Profile Grade Break label style that comes with the product as I don't want the line component in the style. When I delete the line component I have to reconfigure the attachment points of the remaining components. I want the marker to attach to the feature, then the PVIS to the marker, then the PVIE to the PVIS. The problem is these components are in the wrong order in the style and thus I can't get the PVIE to be left aligned with the PVIS. There apparently is no way to re-order the components in the style. The only solution seems to be to delete and recreate them in the proper order. Is this the case? If so then there defintely needs to be an enhancement in the product to change the order.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Profile View And Then Modify Label By Overriding Text Components

Apr 22, 2012

I'm attempting to create a profile view and then modify the label by overriding the text components. Unfortunately the profile view bands don't populate the labels until after my command is complete making it not possible to modify them in one command. Is there a way to update the band to have it show the labels?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Profile Line Label Style Causes Label String To Revert To Default

Sep 6, 2012

C3D 2013. We have profile line labels, some of which get manually edited (for example, change the "<[Tangent grade(FP|P2|RN|AP|GC|UN|SD|OF)]>" to a static number such as 0.29%).

However, if you CTRL+Click and select one of these labels and change the style of that one label, then the manual edits are lost and the label reverts back to the default string.

Is there any way to turn this behavior off?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: ProfileView Band Extents

Jul 1, 2012

Is there an easy way to get the geometric extents of a profile view and bands? It appears that in Civil 3D 2013 .NET the Geometric Extents returns the extents of the profile excluding the bands. I don't like the prospects of either doing the math for all of the bands assigned to the profile view or exploding the profile view to get it and the bands as a block and getting the extents that way.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Random Zooming To Extents?

Feb 19, 2013

My C3D 2013 just started doing this last week...  I first noticed that it would zoom to extents when I operated the center mouse button for panning.  It was random, about 1 out of every 15 to 20 pans using the center button.

But then I noticed that it's not just the panning.  It will randomly zoom to extents when I type in a command. Earlier today, it did it when I did a REGEN, then again when I did a MAPWSPACE. 

The other notable thing is that there is no "zoom" command anywhere in the command history when this occurs. 

Besides changing the mice, I also tried rebooting and running a repair on C3D.  I have Win7-64. 

The problem seems to coincide with when I started using Autodesk 360.  Not saying it's related, but it's fishy.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Exploding Surface Components To Different Layers

Feb 8, 2013

Is there a way if I want my suface to be exploded for the components to be sent to different layers. For example if I make a building pad using the grading tool and create a surface for a design. I would like the minor and major contours to be on different layers. Same for my grading I would like my cut daylight boundary to go to a CG-Cut and fill daylight boundary to go to CG-Fill layers. Is there a way to do this? It would really streamline my work designing pads.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Editing Components Of Profile View?

Feb 27, 2013

Editing components of “profile view”,

In the case of horizontal alignment, one can choose any component and edits its properties (attached) such as its label height (attached).

I’m wondering why such option is not available in the case of “profile view”. The selected component doesn’t bring its edits option (as in the case of horizontal alignment”) and thus one can’t edit its properties like labels (attached).

Then how to edit the components of the “profile view”?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Style Components On Alignment Not Showing Properly

Jan 8, 2014

I have alingment style components set to various layers, where I control their plot and view style.  After years of successful control, recently I found that I the viewports are not displaying the layers correctly pertaining to the sytle.  For example, I have line & curve components set to a layer C-Road-Cl and all properties by layer.  Then in various viewports throughout the project, I'll set viewport overrides to control color and plotsytle of those components.

Today, I found that the C-Road-Cl layer will not control the view of the components or the plotsytle, and that the objects are only being controlled by the layer that the object is on.  But, this does not relate to Object Layers Drawing Settings, as I have the "immediate and independent layer on/off...." box unchecked.  Further, nothing seems to affect the color of the object in the viewport.  

After further research, I found that the a completely different layer is controlling the viewport display of the "line & curve" components (C-Road-Stan) and the alignment object layer is controlling the plotstyle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Area Of Stock Piles

Dec 20, 2013

I went out with our GPS and shot each of our stock piles we have in our yard (recycle asphalt, 3/4" gravel, 1" gravel, etc.), and now I want to figure out how much of each pile we have

So what I did was create a seperate surface for each pile, then I created a volume surface for each as well and just set the base and compare surface as the existing, that wat was I can get the total sq ft of each pile, but now I want to figure out how much yards of material are in each pile

Would I need to set up a materials list for each on to calc how much are in each pile according to what type of material they are?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Data Shortcuts Folder?

Jul 16, 2012

I'm running Civil 3d 2010

I have opened a drawing created by someone else and see that it is loaded with data shortcuts and they all seem to be working properly and displaying fine. The problem is that I would like to add some more  shortcuts to the project yet I cannot find the folder where they are located on our server. I have opened up source drawings for every one of them and there are no data shortcut folders located in the same path as the source drawings nor in my project file. They have been stored miscellaneously somewhere on my server. I have tried searching by name (*.xml) for the data shortcuts on my server but the names are too generic and I get to many hits to locate the one I need. Is there any way to list a data reference and the program tell you the folder where it is getting it from?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Line Types In Blocks

Mar 27, 2012

we got cad files from an older survey done for a realtor. Everything was in pretty bad shape, with blocks everywhere. Since then the drawings have been cleaned up significantly. But I am having issues with two line types referencing a .shx file we don't have. The line types will not come out in a purge or manual delete efforts. I tried to do a filter by linetype but it continues to feed back 0 selected. I am wondering if the line types are used in a block definition that isn't drawn anywhere on the screen.

Is there a way to determine what linetypes are used in what blocks? Ultimately once the lines that use the two linetypes are located they will be changed to a different one and purged out of the drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Lowest Elevation Inside Of Polygon

Dec 16, 2013

I have a need to find the lowest elevation inside of a small rectangular polygon (6'x7'), then assign the polygon to that elevation. This is fairly easily done manually with feature lines, however I need to repeat the operation about 3,000 times to create a design grid (therefore, not obliged to using all of the design budget to do so).

I employed the GIS department to run the analysis, which they can do, however they can't rotate the DEM grid output to match my project because it doesn't run parallel to north/south, thus skewing the results.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Surface Setting / Style Option?

Is there a surface setting / style option where contour labels (elevations) will display at some specified interval as part of the surface rather than going through and adding them as labels afterwards?  Seems like a rudimentary operation, where the labeling can be so scattered and random.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Finding Drain Pipe Daylight Locations

Aug 21, 2013

I need to rough in a drainage pipe network that connects several structures around a site. The pipe inverts need to be 6.5' below the finished floor of each unit and must maintain a minimum 2% slope. The network needs an outfall at some undetermined point on the site. The pipes must follow some existing roads, so they are not interconnected directly to each structure.

How can I go about determining the potential outfall locations?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Loads Slowly Stalls On Finding Interior Borders

Jan 9, 2012

I have a drawing the loads slowly and makes Civil3d become non responsive for i while.

It seems to stop with "finding interior borders" as the action in the lower left corner it has some datashortcuts and xrefs on to a network drive.

How to find what is the causing the slow down?

I will start by removing all the xrefs and datashortcuts and see if it works?

I think I have read about slow load times with network drives recently but can not find the post again.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Label Style For PI

Feb 15, 2013

I have applied a client's style to the alignment to show PI's. In this case we have 2 alignments close to each other (NB & SB of road). PI's close to each other will then overlap. What I would like to do is apply a style that will have the line and text go exactly in the opposite direction. I am trying to avoid dragging the text as that seems to bring up several more issues. I am looking for whatwhere to change within the style editor to make this happen.
