AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Handy Routines For Controlling Alignment ToolTips
Sep 22, 2006
4 little helper functions to turn off & on the ToolTips associated with alignments. Handy for when you have a number of nearby alignments and you don't need the constant showing of all the data.
Intended for buttons, actual function names may be shortened for keyboard use.

I needed to check some vehicle turning movements against my design, so I started Civil 3d from the AutoTurn icon. As I was working I noticed that I don't have any Tooltips anymore. I've checked the global tooltip settings in the Civil3d settings, and the Autocad options, and also the tooltip settings for individual objects.
I also found that the glyphs which should appear when snaps are turned on aren't visible, although the snaps do work properly. Once I had finished with the vehicle checks I shut down, and then restarted from the Civil3d icon but the behavior hasn't changed back to normal. I've also tried repairing the installation - next step will be a full reinstall.

Ever since I got back to my desk after theEaster break I have had an odd problem witj C3d 2012.
The pop up names of the buttons along the bottom (snap, grid, osnap etc) are apparently now in Chinese. Tool tips for other tools are also containing a mixture f what appears to be Chines plus corrupted characters.

what can I do to avoid the annoying mouse cursor "delay" or "jumps" when I move it inside my project ?
I have one surface and 3 aligments....
I have tried turn off tooltips on general options but... yes I dont see tooltips but the mouse seems to investigate the objects below the cursor....
In adittion,. is there a variable to control this ?

I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.

I have a question on Alignment PI's. (Point of Inflection/Intersection)I have an alignment where some PI's have curves, others are merely hard bends.
Is there a way to automatically label the PI's even if they have an associated curve? (I'd like PI, PC and PT)Alternatively, can I only show markers at PI's without curves?

Launching alignment grid view/alignment entities,
I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.

Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.

What is the surface size threshold above which civil 3d 2012 will create an mms file, and how can I change that threshold to force it to keep the surface data in the dwg file if that's what I want?

I am having layer control issues when dealing with Point Styles. I have a Description Key set up that will put the specified point style on a certain layer. For instance the point style COMH will be placed on the V-UTLY-MH layer upon insertion. The point style that I have created will have the Marker associated to the V-UTLY-MH-SYM layer and the Label associated with the V-UTLY-MH-LABEL layer. I also have the check box at the bottom of the Object Layers Tab in the Drawing Settings Dialog box checked that says "Immediate and independent layer on/off control of display components" checked. With all of this set up, I still cannot independently layer on /off the label of the point style without having to create a Point Group Style and have no label style selected within the Point Group Styles Properties.
While I understand how to do this and can set up multiple Point Group Styles and push them up and down to get the visuals to do what I want, we have to deliver our drawings to clients who are not the most CIVIL 3D savvy of people. Any work around that does not involve duplicating and exploding the cogo points just so that clients can layer on/off or freeze/thaw the point lables in a drawing? I have included an image of the settings with the code used for the COMH point style and description key settings.

I'm trying to figure out where to control the section label sets that are attached to the section "entities" when I create multiple section views. It seems to default to 'standard' for all entities sampled. I have created the section label sets that I would like to use for each entity, eg. subgrade, finished grade etc., but don't know where to select it when sections are created. I can get desired results by selecting each entity in a section view individually, but it's very tedious since I will have over a hundred sections views to show with 3 entities sampled each. These sections were created from sample lines across multiple surfaces and not from a corridor. It seems logical that the section label set would be tied to the section style, but I don't think it is. The only thing the section style seems to control is the layer and a name, it's nearly useless.

I imported Google earth surface (at eye alt 600m) to civil 3d 2012 and created an alignment of length 181m.
When I exported same alignment to Google earth , it showed the length as 190m ( the difference increases with increase in length of alignment) And also the profile view of the alignment in the Civil D & Google earth varies.

I use certain images on a very regular basis, mainly ellipses. To save me drawing a new ellipse each time, or importing a saved copy of it, is there a way to keep your most body images handy so in just a click possibly 2 you can put them on the new page in Corel Draw X4.

We want to deliver a language independend CUIX-File and translate the UI at runtime after loading the CUIX like this:
foreach (RibbonTab tab in ComponentManager.Ribbon.Tabs)
{
foreach (RibbonPanel panel in tab.Panels)
{
foreach (RibbonItem item in panel.Source.Items)
{
TransRibbonItem(item);
}
}
}
TransRibbonItem(item)should translate the Item text displayed in the UI as well as the tooltip text.
I found a good way to translate RibbonItem texts. But the only solution I found to translate tooltips is the approach that Kean Walmsley posted in his blog here and here.
This solution has some drawbacks: It uses Autodesk.Internal.Windows.ToolTip, which Kean rates as "risky". It can not be used in my TransRibbonItem(item) function because it uses an ToolTipOpened event-handler that modifies a tooltip just when it is created.I found that this mechanism does not work very well in AutoCAD 2014: When a tooltip is created the first time, the handler is called before it is completely initialized. The posted solution reloads the tooltip in this case - which leads to a delay and display flash.

How to make an iLogic routine run from a completely different document than the one it's in? I have tried everything from remotely changing properties to even editing a sketch in the model to try an trigger a routine. Nothing works. I have set triggers to fire when the part opens but opening the documents with code doesn't fire those triggers. It’s very frustrating to have to open each part in an assembly manually just to get all the routines to run.
Note I'm using 2012.

I have never seen this one before while running a lisp routine: error in dialog file "Y:LispSteel|stl.dc", line 1: warning: redefining object. Symbol:"stl"
stl is a lisp routine we use written in autolisp to insert structural steel members defined by dim files. We have never had a problem with this lisp routine even with the acad 2010 32bit windows XP machines.
- AutoCAD 2010 64bit
- Winows7 64bit
- Network conditions with acad lisps and blocks on the server.
- I have included the stl.dcl file it is having trouble with.

For the last few weeks my copy of C3d 2012 has had what appear to be chinese characters pm all tooltips.This started after a network change here which resulted in everyone gaining a new user account on their PC.
I copied over all my old settings.I have tried adding font packs from the installation disk.I tried repairing from the installation disk.
Makes no difference; it's still Chinese (or what appears to be Chinese anyway). how to get this program back into English or is a reinstallation the only answer?
After reading a thread that seems related I also tried changing the windows advanced appearance options for tooltip fonts.Didn't have any effect.

Using ACAD 2012, 64-bit desktop
I have a number of .lsp routines that I have loaded into the startup suite. I have their location pathed correctly and at the top of the list in the support file search path under options.
Problem is...they load into the drawing when a drawing is opened, but they will not execute. If I type APPLOAD and re-load them individually, they all seem to work fine.
I'm only having this problem with the computers that are running 2012 in the office.

I have a routine I wrote years ago for R12 and it worked fine. Now when I try it in 2000 it freezes Acad when I select the first button. The routine is for structural steel members and the idea is to select a country of origin which brings up a list, then select a section type from the list which brings up another list of all available sizes. You then select the
size member you want then insert it into the drawing. There is also an option to explode the block on insertion. If I remove the (set_lista) section from the following line it doesn't freeze.
(action_tile "AUS" "(setq sectype AA)(setq Country 1)(set_lista)")
(set_lista) is a selection of lists, the list to use is determined by the variable "sectype".
I can select the country I want then cancel the dialog box and type (set_lista) at the command line then reopen the dialog box and the list is refreshed. Just won't do it automatically.

I have writted a set of lisp routines with dcl files that I have implemented in most versions of Autocad since release 14. I can install the toolbars in Autocad 2013 but when I try to execute on of the commands, either by toolbar icon or command line, I get the message "Unknown Command".
I have added the appropriate paths to path list.

I am looping through the civilapplication.activedocument's alignmentIDs collection and looking to see if the name of the alignment is the one I want.
Is there a more direct way, where I could use the name like
doc.GetAlignmentId("somename")?
maybe GetAlignmentIds() is only way to access the align collection though,

I am trying to map values to my title block using an autolisp routine. I have entered (getenv "NEXTSHEET") & (getenv "PREVSHEET") into the descriptions fields and mapped these routines to 'NEXT_ATTRNAME' & 'PREV_ATTRNAME' attributes. When I run the title block updates no values appear on my drawing. Please note that I have included the program in my start-up suite. Please also note that when I enter 'NEXTSHEET' or 'PREVSHEET' on the command line, the routines are called and the correct values are shown on the command line. I just need these values to be visible on my drawing. I have attached the Autolisp routine that I am running.

I thought that finding the alignmentId, and using the
doc.GetAlignmentIds().Remove(delId);
would do it.
I know i have the right alignmentId, it all cheaks out, there must be something I have to do after removing from the ID collection.
I am doing a Tr.Commit(); but that does not seem to be good enough.
full code is: (_returnMsg is a local var for the class containing this method)
public void DelC3DHAlign(string name) { _returnMsg = "Error, No alignments available";
//access Civil 3D
CivilDocument doc = CivilApplication.ActiveDocument;
try { using (Transaction tr = HostApplicationServices.WorkingDatabase.TransactionManager.StartTransaction

I have a project that comes and goes. It was actually started in Softdesk. Right now I'm working in Civil 3D 2012. I have an alignment that represents the left edge of pavement. Although I'm calling an offset alignment. It was created before they existed. So it's not linked to the centerline. There have been many changes to it over the past few years. Now it has a problem.
I wanted to edit in the Panorama. Right-click > Edit Alignment Geometry > select Alignment Grid View from the Alignment Layout Tools. When I went to the last segment in the Gird View, which was near where I wanted to edit, a segment about two thirds of the way along the Alignment was highlighted. Further investigation showed that although the whole Alignment would highlight when selected, all commands said the Alignment ended much sooner than the end station.
I've found that that alignment has been broken for quite a while but was intact at one time. My question is - What's the best way to repair/recreate it. I know I can explode it and create a replacement Alignment from the resulting entities. But is that the best way?
