AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Geo-technical Module Stability In 2014?

May 28, 2013

stability issues with the Geotech module in 2014?

Seems it takes forever to respond to changing styles/views/visual styles etc and Civil 3D goes into the classic dimmed screen and "Not Responding" mode.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading Object Stability?

Mar 20, 2012

Has the grading objects become anymore stable than they are in '09? Unfortunately, our company hasn't been able to upgrade to a newer version and we are beginning to get to the point where 'hand grading' everything is taking too long. I am proficient in using the grading tools, but everytime I do, my drawing becomes corrupt. I want to push us to the newer versions if at all possible.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: 8.5 X 11 Paper Dimensional Stability?

Aug 19, 2013

I was wondering if the 8.5 x 11 dimensions change at all when going through an inkjet printer, and if so, how much.  I suspect this is not a significant issue with scale accuracy, but wanted to be sure.

AutoCAD Dynamic Blocks :: Constraint Stability - Rotation Parameter

Jan 22, 2012

I have been trying unsuccessfully for several days to achieve a stable setup for the attached. This is the closest I have been able to get so far but as you can see if you change the width then the rotation parameter, the stability of the block very quickly breaks down.

The problem seems to be associated with the move action which determines the center point of the angle parameter. It seems to only work properly when you change the width parameter and the rotate handle is in the 180deg. Any other position of the angle parameter results in incorrect alignment of the geometry.

3ds Max :: Interface Stability Over Multiple Versions

Oct 8, 2012

I'm thinking about moving to 3DS Max, and have a question for long-term users. How much does the interface in 3DS Max change with each version? Do long-time users have to spend time searching for the new locations for old controls every time a new version comes out, or has it remained relatively solid?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import STM To 2014?

Nov 18, 2013

I'm using C3D 2014.  I created a pipe network, exported it to Hydraflow Storm Sewer, perfermed an analysis, and have HGL/flow data.  When trying to import the .STM file, nothing happens.  Here's what it does:

1)  Import .STM into a Blank/New Drawing ->  Creates a pipe network with correct IE, Size, and HGL/Flow Data

2)  Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Update Network ->  No change in network (IE, HGL, etc.)

3)  Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Create a New Network ->  Does not create a new network

I've tried closing C3D, and checking, still no change.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updated Bridge Module

Jul 9, 2013

We recently learned that the AutoCAD Civil 3D R2014 Bridge Module has a license check that results in the utility no longer working after July 1, 2013. This appears to be an installation artifact from when this was an Autodesk Labs project. 

A replacement version is available for Infrastructure Design Suite – Premium/Ultimate subscribers on subscription center. Note that you’ll need to uninstall the original version before installing the updated build. There are no changes to the core utility itself - just the license date verification.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Copy From Panorama?

Sep 13, 2013

How to copy from a panorama in 2014?

I know this worked in 2013. In any panorama, Feature Line Edit Elevations for example, you could select certain rows, or all of them, right-click and get a menu with the options Copy All and Copy Selected. These could then be pasted in Excel, or in my cae HEC-RAS.

We upgraded to 2014 a few months ago and hadn't discovered this until today. In 2014, with lines in the panorama selected, a right-click does nothing. I tried again in 2013, and it worked fine, and I was able to get my work done.

Is this a feature that was dropped between 2013 and 2014?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Does 2014 Do Vertical Transformations

Aug 1, 2013

I have Lidar LAS files in UTM18 and need them in State Plane. Horizontally they come in fine to a drawing with the correct system set. Vertically they are still in Meters. I know a couple of workarounds. But I'm just wondering if there have been any advances in 2014.

We're still on 2012 but I'm testing 2014 I don't want to go through the whole process again if it's not going to work.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Superelevation Curve Name API 2014

Sep 16, 2013

This is my aplicattion in Civil 3D 2014. URL....It´s a tool palette that checks the design criteria (for alignments,superelevations and profiles) according to Spanish rules.My program changes the name of each superelevation curve,for example:

---> With superelevation tool own of Civil 3D (Cuve.1,Curve.2,Curve.3)

---> With my program: (VisorNET Curva.1,VisorNET Cuva.2,.....)

 If I calcule again Superelevations using Superelevation button (Calculate/Edit superelevation)of Civil 3D, Civil 3D doesn´t change the Superelevation Curve Names and appears again (VisorNET Curva.1,VisorNET Curva.2,...).Superelevation CurveName property doesn´t exist in settings:

URL....and there isn't a name template. I would like to have this property (read and write----get and set) of settings.Then, I could re-write  the default Superelevation CurveName format. (name template)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Incompatibility Between 2013 And 2014?

Sep 20, 2013

I have problem with compatibility this two versions of civil 3D. Files created in C3D 2013 then modified in 2014 don't want to open in C3D 2013. Files contain many civil objects: shortcuts, corridors. During opening occurs fatal error.

There is no problem with files which were created in C3D 2014 from the begining only modified in C3D 2014.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Will Not Save Drawing?

Aug 1, 2013

One of our Dell workstations has recently decided it will no longer save our CAD drawings to the network. Never had this issue before this week, haven't changed anything that we are aware of. No one else is having network issues. We have connected the computer to a different network outlet at another station, that has no effect on the problem.

When you attempt to save, if you watch the command line it will tell you "Cannot save drawing to K/Work Order/Project/drawing name.dwg, saved copy to K/Work Order//Project/(misc letters and numbers).tmp"

It then deletes the original drawing from its location and saves this temp file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: SSA 2014 - Create One Outfall

Aug 26, 2013

I am trying to run a basic hydrology network to get flows and I'm using

1) hydro method:  TR-20
2) TOC method:  TR-55

I would like to run hydraulic routing specifications as:

1) Link routing method:  Kinematic Wave

....., but it seems as though having multiple "outfalls" I cannot run as Kinematic Method. 

How can I cheat to create dummy points (junctions/links/etc.) to create a system to have only one outfall because I know you cannot have more than one link connected to the outfall.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2012 To 2014 DWG Won't Open

Sep 27, 2013

We just recieved 2014 C3D upgrade from 2012.  I opened a 2012 dwg and saved in the 2013 file format.  now when i attempt to open the drawing in 2014, C3D freezes while loading the drawing.  It can't seem to get past "reading triangles from file".  Weird thing is i can open a copy of the original 2012 DWG and work for minutes or hours in 2014 saving many times along the way and if i close the DWG and attemp to re-open, it freezes up everytime.  I have done this same procedure with other DWG's and don't have any issues.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 TrueType Font

Jul 30, 2013

It is well documented that when text objects using a TrueType font (ie Arial) have a non zero elevation that they do not display correctly.  Before we upgraded (in May our office upgraded from C3D2009 to C3D2014) I was meticulous about making sure our text objects always had a zero elevation and we largely avoided any problems.

However in Civil 3D 2014 it seems that by default contour label objects and certain other label objects are given a non-zero elevation (they are assigned the elevation of the contour or in the case of a pipe network object, the manhole rim elevation).  Thus the text in these labels displays incorrectly.

This is a very frustrating problem as we are now faced with having to revert all of our styles back to .shx based fonts.  Is Autodesk aware of the bug?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Publishing PDFs In 2014

Jul 12, 2013

noticed that the file size of pdf's created using the publish command in C3D 2014 are much larger than files created using 2013? I'm talking twice the size in some cases. I've gone through the settings and found no differences, but there must be something I'm missing. When I use the plot command on a single layout, the file sizes are similar, so there must be something in the publish command.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MapExport On 2014 Not Working

Apr 12, 2013

Interesting find this morning.  In C3D 2014, the MAPEXPORT asks to save the file name, give the file a name, and then nothing happens.  I have done a repair and to no avail, nothing.  The dialog box does not appear, and no file is created.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Not Holding Transformation Settings?

Jul 18, 2013

The transformation settings are changing every time a drawing is reopened.  The computation method is switching from "reference point" to "unity" - see attachment.  This is causing the software to use a scale factor of 1 instead of the computed scale factor at the defined reference point when scaling our points from state plane to our local ground system.  This completely screws up our entire survey workflow that we have been using for almost 2 years.  We had no issues like this in the 2012 or 2013 versions.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2014 Scale Setup - What Is Units

Nov 3, 2013

how the scales and printing works.

first i am working in meters .meters is choosen under the drawing settings tab .i am trying to test print at 1:1  a rectangle with 0.2 meters side that normaly will fit in a A4 sheet since the A4 is 0.21x0.297 METERS .

in the print dialogue i set the 1"mm" = 0.001 "units". the result is an image multiplied by 1000...arent the " units "   METERS? METERS is what i use in the drawing so why i get a biger image?

if i set 1"mm"= 1 "unit" and NOT 0.001 i get correct 1:1 print .

what i am missing?  c3d wants me to give 1mm=1meter?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Opens In 2014 But Not In 2013

I recently created a grading file in autocad civil 3d 2014 that contains grading objects.  When I try to open the file on another computer that is using autocad civil 3d 2013, the file will not open and I get a fatal error.  I audited, purged, recovered and tried about everything.
