AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Edit The Solid Arrow
Jan 9, 2013i am trying to edit the arrow? When i click on it, it shows as a solid under properties. I need to resize that arrow, Just dunno how to do it?

View 9 RepliesI can't figure out why only on one layer the arrowheads on dimensions are not solid. They are made up of low resolution hatches.
Also the screen shows black and white when plot is in monochrome and color only when the plot setting are for color.
I can't figure out how to keep the screen in color regardless of plot settings.

I have this special type of callout, which is not easy to draft, but it looks pretty in plans. Is there any easy way to convert this to multileader?
Usually, I create it as block, insert it and change location of solid arrow around textbox. If I want to relocate this callout, Its not that easy as like multileader. I have to move solid arrow around textframe (from one corner to other) to point the same location. can this be done automatically (like mleader?)
I have a.3ds file imported into Civil 3d. The object imported as a polymesh in Civil 3d. I need the solid 3d object to do some edit like slice or union and subtract.
The question is "How can I import .3ds into Civil 3d as a solid objects or hoe can i convert polymesh to solid?"
When I select any visual style other than '2D Wireframe' in AutoCad 2011 for mac it stops me from being able to edit it at all, not even select any objects.
I trialed AutoCad 2012 and it allowed me to edit solids whilst they were shaded. Is this a feature difference, a bug, or something that I haven't set up right in 2011?
Is it possible, via VB, to modify solidbodies color ?
Actually, I need to modify part color. But in some cases, the part color and the solidbody color are not the same. So I need to modify the Solidbody color, to match the part color.
I found the bodies in ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies, but I can't find something like ComponentDefinition.SurfaceBodies.Item(1).color.
why doesn't the arrow leader disappear when I flip my arrow direction to the inside..

i would like to use 3d dwg files from the 50 wood joint library for cnc processing. Therefore i load a dwg file (like attached) into account and want to start editing the wireframe, but thats not possible. Furthermore I expected to be capable of producing a solid for further processing in a CAM software.
How can I edit and make the attached geometry a solid?

I have a solid body but I need to make a part of it removable. I want to be able to lift it off and put it back on. The problem is that at the moment it is all one piece. So what I need to know how to do is remove just this one face from my solid, turn it into a seperate part so that I can create a lip on the solid for it to set on once it is reasymboled.

In some templates I can't load a custom North arrow. AutoCAD can't find block.
The built-in north Arrows works fine. In a standard template from Autodesk there is no problem.
Wich settings should I change so I can select a block?
I would like to show a north arrow on my drawing, but i dont know where north is,
Does autocad know where it is, my site is in a very remote mountaineous area with nothing to reference off on goole earth or maps.
how to move the window around with the arrow keys and I just can't find it. A little box popped up in the upper left hand corner that allowed you to move the drawing window around to find a hidden dialog box.
In 2013 Civil 3d I am having the issue that when I select the Add/ Delete scales the cursor changes to an arrow and the program waits. If i hit the exscape key it goes back to normal. My best guess is the dialog box is popping up behind the drafting window.

Well I created this dynamic block, and within the block is a pull-down to change the style of arrow from a custom version to spline or straight. Everthing works fine and look great in the drawing. But when I use the the Spline arrow it will show up correct graphically but will plot as two straight lines with an arrow which totally defeats the purpose. I have attached the block here. I checked this on C3D11 and LDD08 and they both have the same issue so it's more than likely an ACAD thing.

issue that when the xref a drawing with Surface Slope Arrows, that the style changes in the child drawing compared to the parent?
I am hoping to use the standard I am used to of the arrow pointing down the hill (towards the -10ft) rather than what the child file is showing of uphill (away from the -10ft).

Every time I insert a north arrow it needs to be scaled up afterwards. Normally, scaling up by the same factor as the viewport that I select is about right.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Plan Production tools to create alignment drawings and when adding the north arrow during the process i get a error at the end stating @unable to align north arrow?
North arrow is a block and tried with base point and alignment parameters, unless i have missed something in the block creation? How do i create a north arrow block that will align with the layouts in plan production?
I'm using C3D 2014.
When I create layouts using the "All layouts in the current drawing" option, the north arrow does not align to the viewport rotation.
But when I use "Number of layouts..." and "All layouts in one..." options, the north arrow block aligns correctly.
I am using the Dynamic North arrow that is linked to the viewport. It doesn't matter if I use an OOTB block or a custom one they all have a rotation of 355.4016.
The viewport is type "Plan", Dview twist is set to "0", USC is World. If I change the rotation on the block it rotates the viewport (as expected). The default block is not rotated.
BTW, It works fin in the default NCS, so it's something in my template.
Now, in my understanding, the flow arrow should either be rotated 0, or 180 (pi radians). But clearly, some of them like to have their own mind about things, and decide on some other rotation. It seems that on the steep slopes, the arrows go a bit skew.
I think the skew is related to the actual elevation difference of the segment, rather than the steepness of the slope. A long segment with 15% slope has a worse skew than a short segment at over 30%, presumably because the elevation difference from the start to the end of the segment is larger.
I can't seem to find where to increase the flow direction arrow size on a watershed. Am accessing remotely, it's a bit laggy and bothersome, but doable. I looked all over Toolspace.

I added a drawing file which has a coloured face solid,I put a circle on blue face and making a hole on this face,and I want to delete red face without exploding solid,after all this I want to mesh this solid with maximum 25 units.
If it would be possible to round the edges of the solid i attached as a .dwg file. I thought it would make sense to use the FILLET command but it didn't seem to work.

The pointer flickers when in AutoCAD, especially when in menus, between the arrow and the arrow / waiting circle. Also does this flicker with the cross hairs and the waiting symbol when in the drawing window. Have all the drivers up to date no luck.
Have also tried multiple different pointing devices. Also have several instances where text will not move or allow to be modified until I save and restart the program.

Things like opening the program, opening drawings and re-loading Xref's are all way way way faster than without the SSD.
To those of you who have added SSD, are you seeing the same boost? This appears to be an easy way for Civil 3D users to increase speed tremendously, without purchasing a whole new system.
I have created a surface in Civil 3D by adding contours....... Now that I have created the surface I need to Exoprt it to .sat / .stl files. But in order to do this I need a 3D Solid.
How do I convert this service to a 3D solid in order to the the export?
I have tried the thickening option in the 3D Modeling workspace but it doesn't want to accept my surface.
I have a drawing (c3d 2013) provided by a subcontractor that contains high density laser scan data in the form of Acad solids. I have a bunch of conventional QC shots on the same objects, that I would like to compare to the scan data.
I can bring the QC shots into the scan drawing as cogo points, but when I try to measure the distance to the face of the solid, I can't get the perpendicular 3d osnap to grab the solid.
