AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add Or Remove Vertices On Contour Label Lines

Jun 17, 2013

As far as I know there is no way to add or remove vertices on contour label lines. Is this correct?

If so it's another one for my wish list.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Truncating?

Mar 23, 2011

how does one go about truncating surface contour elevation labels so they only show up to the tens place on the left side of the decimal (i.e. 50.25 instead of 5150.25)? I tried changing the rounding option under the style edit to "truncate" but that did not appear to change anything...?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Intervals

Feb 25, 2013

It must be the medication, but I just can't remember something I learned in the last couple weeks regarding contour label intervals. I've been using C3d 2013 for about a year now and had used LDD 2004 until the upgrade.  I've become pretty comfortable with the styles based implementation now.

What exactly controls the numeric value shown in a contour label? I've got them looking fine on my site. I imported my styles and settings to a coworkers site but for the life of me I cannot remember what I had to change to get the contour labels to show increments of 1 foot (they were showing fractions of a foot)… Typing the word "fractions" triggered my recall.  The problem and solution was in the drawing units.(Inches vs feet).

How much time I spent looking through the style settings in search of the one setting I was missing... both times!  One of the best ways to push things from short term memory into long term memory is "Increased active practice". 

One thing I learned this time:  The style settings are not always the source of the problem.  It could be something very basic. It may save time to check the basics first.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Line

May 31, 2013

I have been creating contour surface labels, which utilize a 3-point  contour label line with grips to adjust, and this is my question:

when i create a single contour label, clicking specifically on a contour i want labeled, the contour label line with the 3-grips extends beyond several contours and thus places a label at every contour it touches.  i can manually fix this by shorting the line, but this seems very inefficient. 

1. is there a setting to have the label only placed on the center grip of the three?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label With Referenced Surface?

Mar 2, 2012

I have Civil3d2012 and have created a surface in one drawing and then referenced it to another.  It appears to be working, but the contour labels will not work on the drawing where the surface is referenced.  I have all the appropriate layers on.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Locked Layer Causes Contour Label

Jul 15, 2013

I'm working in 2011.  Just labeling some contours in a new drawing, using the 'Multiple' setting.  I found I could only draw one tangent of Contour Label Line.  If I continued, I could click but no labels were created and on finishing the command I could see that those clicks had been ignored.  What gives?

I found that the labels were on the current layer, instead of the layer they're meant to use.I also realised that my current layer was locked (from the previous task).

if the current layer is locked, the contour labels ignore the layer setting that they are meant to use, and come in on the current layer instead.  And you can only draw one tangent's worth of contour labels at a time before finishing the command and restarting.  

Solution: make a different layer current or unlock your layer.

are contour labels generally created on the current layer and then moved to their proper layer?Is that why it hit a snag: it wasn't permitted to move the object to a different layer because the one it was on was locked?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Label Background Mask

Nov 30, 2011

I cannot get my contour label to mask the contour line that it sits on.  I have no problems creating contour labels for my surface (whether using single, multiple, or multiple at interval options).  I have set my contour labeling defaults to not display the contour label line, as well as set Label Mask Type to Contour Line Only.  Under contour label style under Layout>Border>Background Mask, this is set to True.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Use Surface Contour Label Group Class

Nov 6, 2013

How to use the Surface Contour Label Group class in the .NET API.

My first guess was that I had to create an instance object of the class and name it, and then use a "Create" method (e.g., CreateMultipleAtInterval) from there, like this:

Dim labelgroup As SurfaceContourLabelGroup

labelgroup.CreateMultipleAtInterval(arguments) 

However, this doesn't work, as Visual Studio told me "Warning: Access of shared member, constant member, enum member or nested type through an instance; qualifying expression will not be evaluated." 

I tried just saying: 

SurfaceContourLabelGroup.CreateMultipleAtInterval(arguments) 

But that didn't seem to work either. How this class works and get it to add some contour labels to a drawing?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Lines All One Entity?

Sep 15, 2012

I have a client that just started using C3D 2010.  When I sent him a topographic survey with contour lines (I am also using C3D 2010) he called me and asked if there was a way to select an individual contour line and have it display the elevation in the 'properties' dialog box.  I have not been able to find an answer for him.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Lines Not Showing

Jan 3, 2013

We recently received a LiDAR data in the form of an .asc file.  Brought it fine into Civil 3d. 

However, the level data is in mm so levels are showing as 98450 instead of 98.45.  The level ranges from 98450 to 166260.

When I create a surface and set the style to show contours, it only displays contour lines below 100,000.  Is this a limit in Civil 3D or am I missing some setting somewhere?  I'm using the UKIE template btw.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Disappearing Contour Lines

Feb 23, 2013

I’m having some issues with my CAD. Every now and then, my contour lines disappear and I can’t get them to reappear. My surface border and triangles will appear but not the contours. Sometimes if I change surface styles they will appear but other times they are gone forever.

Troubleshooting: Regen AllAuditPurgeLayers on/offLayers frozen/thawedPromoting (if the surface is a data short cut)Changing the surface styleChanging the contour interval

None of this has worked…

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Contour Lines Display

Sep 19, 2012

I am having problems viewing my contour lines after I create a surface. I create the surface using points.  The contour lines will show up when I create the surface. After I close the program or the drawing, I am not able to see the contour lines again. The contour lines are on in the surface style.  How can I see the contour lines without creating the surface again?

I have drawing giving to us for a senior design project. I'm trying to create a surface to so that I can analyze cut/fill. Not sure if what i'm doing is right or wrong, I've never used civil 3d. But i'm getting break-line errors whenever i'm trying to create the surface from the contour lines. 

Heres a link i took of what i'm doing on youtube [URL]........

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Make Surface From Contour Lines

I have this contour lines from dwg file (see attached) and I am trying to make a surface out of it. Initially i thought it is already a surface for C3D but i cant seem to follow tutorials. While browsing for solutions from the Internet, it seems it is not even a contour file that can be added in C3D. what is this file and how i can convert it into a surface in C3D?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Adjust Elevation Not Location For Contour Poly Lines

Feb 1, 2013

I was given a file from a competetor (this is evil)

The file has  coordinates in feet (x, y) but elevations (Z) in meters.

I need the contours intact (cant explode block and scale) to create a surface from.

The other part is this is a big file so anything by hand would be rediculous.

I need the final file where the x,y has stayed the same but the z has been adjusted to the correct foot elevation (scaled)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Label All Lines In One Go (window Selection)

Mar 23, 2012

How to label all lines in one go (window selection)?
 
Is there a way to label all the lines in one go by using the “window selection”? why the current behaviour of the selection requires to select the lines one by one?
 
How to remove the (‘) that appears at the end of each label? Is there an icon for the “add lables” command on the ribbon? Why the command “_AeccLblDlgGeneralNote” is not defined on the command line?

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Label Contour (2D Plines) From Elevation

Nov 21, 2013

Of course with ACAD MAP (FDO Labels for example) or better with ACAD CIVIL : no problem !

But often I have to use a Standard AutoCAD ...

A lots of people have already asked for this routine :

But I search in this forums and some others and unfortunately I can't find any correct routine Full operational on ACAD 201X 32/64 bits

I have many 2D Plines with an Elevation : some Normal , some have been splined --> 1st problem

I would like to label them with :

- either a Block with ONE attribut : the elevation

- either a MText with a blank Mask behind

As you wish ...

Question : Size/Height of the Block or MText ?

Some 2D Plines are very long (2nd problem) so I would like a question like :

Label each Pline every xxxx Units ?

So on a Pline Contour of 2000 meters, I could have the elevation (Block or MText) every 50 meters ...

Of course I would like that the Block or Mtext will have to follow (rotation) the Pline (splined or not) where the label is inserted !

AutoCad :: Create Contour Lines

Oct 19, 2010

So I have finally been able to create a surface that I like and slice some 3D solids using this surface. But now I would like to draw some contour lines of that surface. I have seen some videos about creating contour lines (such as this one: URL.... ). But in this video they import the surface using the 'connect to data' button in the toolspace area. Is it possible to insert a surface from your drawing into the toolspace area and then draw the contour lines? I managed to insert the layer containing the surface using Data --> Add drawing data --> Drawing layer... but I cannot change style or create contour lines.
