AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ghost Lines In Profiles?
Aug 6, 2013I'm working on profiles for the first time - built my pipe network.
I have these dotted ghost lines - what they are and what I might have "on" that is causing them?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Paste Excel File - Ghost Lines Appear In PDF
Apr 5, 2013This has happened on all versions of AutoCAD in our office.
I paste schedules from Excel into AutoCAD. I print out the sheets and ghost lines appear on the PDF and hard copy that were not intentionally place in the excel file. What is happening and what can be done about it.
I also paste a tif file on a sheet change the setting to imageframe <0> and a residual line willl appear in pdf and hard copy that seems to be the border of the tif image.
AutoCad :: Ghost Lines Print In PDF Which Are Not Visible In Either Model Or Paper Space
May 24, 2013I'm using AC 2011LT on a PC Every time I print to PDF or printer a line appears which is not visible on the model or paper space. It is even not visible when I preview the print before printing (again from model or paper). And on different layouts the line moves and sometimes doubles.
I have done all the regular things - all layers on, all unfrozen, all visible, etc, I've purged, regened, made a save as file, gone to another persons computer but still the same problem.
Revit :: Perspective View With Ghost Lines?
Jan 27, 2012I am doing a building as shown in the attached image. I inserted the file as a link and flipped to make the total building, but in the perspective view are showing these ghost lines that do not let me save a shaded image of the building. I have just updated the graphic driver to the certified by Autodesk.

Nov 14, 2012I am having some issues with surface profiles on a dreffed alignment no updating dynamically.
Currently it requires me to set them to static, then back to dynamic and they update.
I am well aware of the issue of dreffed surface profiles staying static. I am using the work around of dreffing in the surface and sampling in the drawing using the dreffed alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Ghost Entities In Template Drawing?
Feb 22, 2013I created a drawing where I created a grading object (pad) under a site, a couple of alignements, etc.
After deleting everything to maintain layer states and settings, I saved the drawing as a starting template for day to day drawing (left it as a dwg, not dwt)
When I start a new drawing from a saveas of the template, it says that there is already a grading group named 'pad' but there isn't anything shown in the prospector. Purge hasn't worked. Any ghost entities left in a drawing.
I've also noticed that if you screw up a grading and try to delete the entire site and start over...you get weird results too. It's like it remembers old stuff you did (ghost entities) and won't let you start with a clean slate.?

Jun 7, 2013I want a list of all profiles in the drawing. How can i do?
I have a list of all alignments with:
ObjectIdCollection alignColl = civDoc.GetAlignmentIds();
But profiles don´t have the method GetProfilesIds();
or how to check if each alignment has any profiles?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Combination Of 2 Profiles?
Dec 12, 2013I have 2 alignemnts and 2 profiles, is there a way to to combine both alignment profiles to one profile? What I am doing is moving the centerline of a road over 10 feet, so that is why I have 2 alignments (existing CL and new CL). So what I want to show on one profile is existing centerline, existing centerline of new centerline, and proposed centerline of new centerline.

Aug 31, 2012I am using Civil 3D 2012. I am drawing a water line in a profile with a vertical scale of 1" = 10'. I am trying to draw lines at 45 deg angles to account for standard fittings.
Now, I tried to block a 45 deg angle and exaggerate the y scale, but for some reason this does not work well mathematically. Is there a way to draw lies at a certain slope, or at a certain angle from another line, while taking into consideration the scale exaggeration?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profiles Not Synchronizing Upon Open
Oct 19, 2012I have found recently that surfaces that are sampled in profile views are not synchronized when the drawing is opened. This is incredibly frustrating when I'm just opening a file to plot a new copy. If I forget to resynchronize the drawing, the sampled profiles will not plot.
Is there a system variable I might try to toggle?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Vertically Offsetted Profiles From OG?
Sep 26, 2012is there a way to create a few profiles say at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0m vertically above the profile of the ground? without creating the surface again and change the elevation 4 times and making 4 data reference. using those lines for design guides for minimum fill requirements when doing FG profiles. before i just copy, then explode then move the original profile as a polyline. i actually have to explode the polyline after because it's laggy to zoom in the profile for some reason. once lines it's ok. but then again it's not dynamic. i changed my alignment and then those line stayed then have to do it all over again. this maybe a good feature to have next version.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layout Profiles Left And Right
Jun 24, 2011Our firm has finally decided to leave LDC 2009 behind and moving to C3D 2012.I would like to ask a few questions about the way plan and profiles are created with C3D.
In LDC, we would create a full profile that included everything in it, that is proposed and existing centerline elevations and left and right top of curb elevations. Then on the sheet layouts, we would make many viewports that showed the proposed and existing sets, that is centers, lefts and rights. (medians in the example attached)
I've been watching many online videos on how to sample center, left and right and how to create a proposed center line but I can't figure out how to make a proposed left and right profile so that I can control drainage into existing inlets.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Surface Profiles Keep Disappearing?
Jun 13, 2013I have a couple of files with DS surfaces that I cut profiles with and all was fine until today. the surface ref is in the drawing but does not display. If I zoom to it goes to a location not related to the site but there is no display of the surface (all layers and style set to display) this is what view props shows. notice the odd serial number for the data source. through tools space I deleted the refs and re-refed and sampled, but when I close and go back its gone again.

Dec 16, 2011Noticed that after the last update many profile settings like snap aperatures, OSNAPS, and data shortcut working files aren't being remembered? It has only happened to a couple people, but they are having the exact same issues.
I wish it was simple as the shortcut being reset or pathed to the wrong profile, but it's not the case.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dynamically Dependent Profiles
Apr 11, 2013I've heard it said that it's possible to make two separate layout profiles dynamically dependent. For example, making a driveway centerline profile dependent on the roadway centerline profile it's connected to. The idea is that if you revise the roadway centerline profile, up or down, that the driveway profile will automatically go up or down with it.
Is this true? I didn't readily see anything in the profiles area of the docs or the tutorials.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Assigning Different Scale For Profiles
May 8, 2013If I have a drawing scale set up as 1"=30' and I created some profiles at that scale, and then I need to create a profile at 1"=40' horiz and 1"=4' vert., what is the best way to do that? I believe in the past I tried changing the drawing scale under settings to 1"=40' one time and all of the profiles in the drawing changed to that same scale even though they were drawn at 1"=30', which I want to stay that way.
I think I can leave the drawing settings to 1"=30 and then just assign the scale in the viewport to 1"=40', but then all of the text sizes in the profile view style will adjust according to the scale I use, which will either increase or decrease according to the scale I pick. I would like to keep the profile view style consistent no matter what scale I pick.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Straightening Pressure Pipe Profiles?
Apr 24, 2012I'm slowly getting familiar with the new pressure pipe tools. So far I like the layout compass but I'm finding the rest to be rather cumbersome to work with.
One problem I have is how to straighten portions of a pipe in profile after fitting it to a surface profile. Each pipe ends up segmented according to it's cut length property. Typically after fitting it to a surface profile we want to straighten the pipe between critical points along the profile. I don't see any way to do this aside from dragging each segment. Is there a way to remove, add or adjust the length of individual segments?
I don't see any other than the videos provided in the new features catalog.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving Profiles In Model Space
Mar 12, 2012When I drop a profile into model space, what happens when I move it? Like if I have ten different profiles, I'd like to square them all up and organize them to fit neatly into my plan views. I just scale my border drawing and drop one of those into model space, then fill it up with profiles until it's full.
I know that I should be working in layout/paper space for this kind of stuff, but this seems easy enough.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Pipe Invert Labels In Profiles?
Oct 15, 2012I am trying to place my pipe invert labels at the actual point of the invert. When using the pipe label style composer, I have selected Anchor Point to be "Bottom Inner Diameter". Why is it that the label style still imports into the center of the pipe? No matter which anchor point I choose the label still inserts to the middle of the pipe. Is there a hidden setting that I am missing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Reference Text Label For Profiles
Jul 18, 2012I can create single alignment labels (fixed point, offset etc) that show a chainage and, by using reference text, a profile level for an associated profile.
However, using the main labels that are used for displaying chainages along an alignment (alignment chainage label group) I can also add in a reference text label for profiles here, alongside the chainage one, but there is no option to set which profile it references so it just displays '???'.
Getting the alignment labels to also display associated profile levels at every chainage point would be incredibly useful.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Labeling Profiles From Data References
Nov 17, 2013We recently started using Civil3d 2013. We made a huge jump from LDD 2008. We have profiles designed and data short cuts are created. We have existing and proposed.
Now i've created a reference and brought them into another drawing. First I tried to set up the color and linetype for each profile. When I do this. Both the existing and proposed become the same color and linetype.I do not see how to select the existing from the proposed and set the color and linetype.
Next I select the proposed profile and right click and select Edit Labels. I start to create the PVI labels. When I do this the PVI's for the existing profile get labeled. I want the proposed profile labeled. Not the existing.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Profiles Show Up Under Multiple Alignments
Jul 24, 20122012 SP2
I'm having a problem with profile shortcuts showing up under multiple alignments. I have 16-alignments and profiles in their own drawings. I didn't create the shortcuts right away as I was still figuring out how I wanted the project dir structure. When I had that solved, I started creating the shortcuts. When I checked them, some of the alignments had up to 6-profiles from other alignments listed under them. One alignment had 3-profiles, and not one of them was for the alignment.
I removed all the profile shortcuts and started bringing them in again. Same problem. This was after shutting C3D down, cleaning up the tmp files and restarting.
There are shortcuts for 36 other alignments, and none of them appear to be affected, only these last 16. Validate Data Shorcuts doesn't do anything.
