AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Repair Broken Objects
Jul 29, 2013
I am working with a goverment agency and we have hired two cosultants to work on a projects. They are using data shortcuts for surfaces, alignments and pipe networks. When they delivered C3D files to us get our reviews, (they burned the dwgs on the CD) all surfaces and alignments are broken.
My question is:
1) How do I repair those broken C3D objects?
2) What should i request the consultants to provide us so that when I open these drawings at my end, the surfaces are not broken.

I changed some feature on a sketch that was working and broke it. When I close the sketch a window shows the problems. A typical message is " Fillet1: Could not build this Fillet". The name "Fillet1" was automatically assigned. by Inventor. The questions is, how do I find Fillet1 in my sketch so I can fix it? I have looked in Parameters and that doesnt tell me.

I was hoping to use find and replace "#" with broken fields in the drawing. but it will not find the # value that the field creates when it is broken. Is the only way to find a broken field a visual check? or is there another way I am not aware of?

resizing objects by changing the width and height values in the Transform window, while keeping the proportions of the object? When I try this in CS6, the proportions of the object gets totally botched.
This is what I do:
1. Draw a straight line that is rotated some 30-40°.
2. Select the line and click in the W: or H: fields in the Transform window.
3. Make sure that the "Constrain Width and Height Proportions" button is selected.
4. Press and hold the up arrow key on the keyboard.
5. Watch how the line is rotated as it is scaled.
I notice that while I'm pressing the up or down keys, the number in the selected width or height field is incremented nicely (21 mm, 22 mm, 23 mm, 24 mm, etc.), but when I release the key, it is adjusted to a seemingly random number (for example 24 mm -> 24.168 mm). If I switch between pressing up and down for some time, the adjustment can be even more random (24 mm -> 58,944 mm).
I recently upgraded from CS3 where this type of scaling worked flawlessly. I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5.

Possible to open a drawing that was created with AutoCad Civil3D 2011 and create all of your Civil objects and data references if it is a bad idea to then open it at a later date in AutoCad Civil as Autocad 2011. Does this effect any of the data in the drawing. It has been recommended here that we do this for making minor line/text edits as some folks have slower computers that cant handle the civil side of the program.
why we are constantly facing corrupt drawing files that lose references.

I have got the ole Program Errors Dialogue back again. It seemed to stem from a rogue data shortcut that got broken.
I could not delete the broken surface reference, so had to create another data shortcut, create a reference and then I had the opportunity to delete the rogue surface and then the data shortcut.
Anyway, I got this error on Audit. (see image attached)
and this was the audit command line dump...
Command: audit
Fix any errors detected? [Yes/No] : y
Auditing Header
Auditing Tables
Auditing Entities Pass 1
Pass 1 100 objects audited

Truncate to 255
AcDbDictionary(8AB)
could not be repaired.
Pass 1 30600 objects audited
Auditing Entities Pass 2
[Code]...
I may have made an error by importing a data shortcut I didn't need in past weeks on this job. When a data shortcut is broken, it is quite hard to remove the reference.
Anyway, perhaps I just need to upgrade but I don't want to do it for this curent project as I am almost finished. (famous last words).
So what is causing this error that cannot be fixed? I didn't ask foran Xdata string to exceed 255 characters...

I'm in a dwg that had broken references. I right clicked on Alignments to repair all broken references. Everything came in (surfaces, alignments, pipe networks) but text did not come in from a source drawing; the Source Dwg is a Pipe Network. The network came in but not the text. I opened the source dwg & the text is there. The Event Viewer is showing no broken references so what I'm I missing?

Back in LDT you used to be able to mouse over point descriptions of dragged state points to get Osnap to select the node. Civil 3D has apparently done away with this, why who knows but its very very hard to know what point your selecting if say you have a bunch of points on top of eachother. Can this be enabled anywhere?
The very mundain work around is to use 'PO to select the point entity, but it does not show the little osnap indicator on the point marker when you use 'PO.
How can I get my old Osnap node selection back?

I created an assembly with a broken back subassembly. I moved it to a 40cm horizontal offset away from the axis. I attached it to a corridor using two polylines as targets. One for the broken back and one for the outside lane. In civil 2011 everything works fine.
In civil 2012 the ETW is offseted by the same value i moved the subassembly away from the axis! If i change the subassembly offset to eg 1m then when rebuilding corridor the ETW moves to 1m away from the target polyline!
Same strange behavior using subassembly R2011 or R2012.
See the attached dwg.

The model repair tools is apparently new to 2012 version however I cannot see it in my Inventor interface (yes I am using Inventor 2012). Does it should be there or is it an optional add-in (at cost ?). If I should have it I'll get on to the software company and ask them why it's not installed properly !

Right now, the only way I know of being able to see Civil grading objects (surface contours, spot elevations, slopes, etc) while using plain vanilla AutoCAD is to explode everything and export to a lower version.
I'm trying out a trial of AutoCAD 2013 to test things, and my Civil drawing shows up as boxes/text when xrefed into another drawing without doing the task above.
I'm looking for a more efficient way to see grading using AutoCAD (not Civil). Civil is expensive, and I'd like to downgrade the drafters who don't know how to use the Civil functions (and never will), but still need grading to show as a dynamic xref in the background of the drawings they're working on. Problem is, if I have to explode and export my drawing every time I want to update the grading xref in their drawing, it wastes more time than I'd like.
Is this the only way and I have to live with it, or am is there an easier way that I haven't dug up yet? I know I'm not an expert at Civil, so I may be going about this all wrong.

I have a photo of a puppy, where just the top of the head where the hair is, is cut off - out of the camera shot. When using the quick selection tool and placing this image on a new background, the top therefore has a flat line at top. Which is the best feature to try to replace what was cut off in that original photo (shown below) ? Would that be the content aware patch tool? Or would you just use the paintbrush to try to paint it in? With all the subtle colors, that is difficult.

How do I repair or re-load Photoshop CS3 in the Master Collection? The program is acting funny after several shutdowns, the preferences have been reset...and it still is behaving badly.
I usually just un-install and re-install Photoshop occasionally to get rid of hard gremlins...but...I am concerned with Master Collection. I spent weeks trying to install the original package...and the only way I could get it to install sanely was to wipe my disk to a clean windows install and then do the Master Suite First...otherwise the install would fail after an hour of loading in.

I use Adobe Lightroom 4.3 64bit and am having problem with a corrupt catalog. The catalog contains a couple years of exposures with approx 87,000 photographs. I am running LR on Win 7 with quad core CPU and 10Mb RAM. I have used Lightroom for couple years and only problems I had experienced have been intermittent performance issues with LR. The years of photographs are in RAW format with editing in Develop module.
I was using Lightroom 4.3 and it froze the computer while using develop module. I had to power off to reboot and LR catalog was corrupted. I reverted to the LR backup (I back up daily). After importing photographs, LR once again froze the computer during Develop work. And, another backup was corrupted.
I went ahead and upgraded to LR 4.4 in hope that this will improve the situation. I ran chkdsk and other system utilities as well.I need Adobe to repair this corrupt catalog so I don;t keep wasting my time.

I am using Lightroom 3.4.1 and Windows 7. Upon shutting Lightroom down I got a message that Lightroom was unable to backup my catalog until it was repaired. When I reopened Lightroom it gave me the option to repair the catalog. The repair was "successful" and Lightroom opened as usual. However, the history panel of every single picture is blank BUT the pictures did retain my Lightroom changes. How to get that back? I do have a catalog backup but it does not include the work I just finished as I was shutting down Lightroom. I also have all my RAW files as well as their sidecar files.

I received the following message after my computer went into hibernation/sleep mode before finishing to complete an import of images.Once I click on "Show in Finder" I see there is a .lock file as seen here:
I have tried deleting this file (trashing it on my MAC OS 10.8.4) but each time I try to open I get the same message and the .lock file reappears. I did not back-up my catalog so I only have my Lightroom 3 catalog to restore from.

I got this message importing to LR4:
=====
The files appear to be unsupported or damaged. (2)
DSC01351.ARW
DSC01352.ARW
=====
Actually there are 41 files with this message. They happened on one day; all other days the files had no problem, so I don't think it is a card error. Every day I back up the card twice before deleting files for the next day. All copies have the error problem for that one day. I'm using a Sony a580. On the day in question, the playback function worked and I could see the photos I had taken.
There is lots of software for recovering deleted files, but that's not the problem. I need to fix damage, and although I wouldn't mind paying, I can't find any programs that give you even a hint that they will work without the money down first.

I recorded a 37min. mp4 video, with my tablet Asus Infinity, on 720p resolution. The first 10 minutes are ok but the last 20min. are out of sync.
There is any possibility to repair the delay of the sound with Corel Video Studio X5?

I'm new to Gimp - I've had it installed on my computer for a while now but haven't tried to use it because it's got so many features it was just - well, intimidating. But now I've started a big scanning project involving a lot of old family photos, and as you can imagine they're not all in good shape. So I have some repairs to do.
The first one I scanned turned out pretty nice, but the second one is challenging me. It dates from about the 1920s and looks kind of sepia-toned but I had to scan it in gray shades because of a kind of moire pattern at the bottom (it's mounted on a piece of thick cardboard which is bowed and I had trouble getting it to lay flat on the scanner bed, so maybe that's why). The black-and-white image that resulted actually looks better than the sepia, but there are a lot of water spots in the upper left corner. Some of them are really large and in many different shades of gray, which is making it almost impossible for me to fix them using the cloning tool. I thought about just copying and pasting from a better section, but all those different gray shades mean that didn't work very well either. I can crop some of them out, but not all, and besides, the cropping changes the composition of the photo, and not in a good way.
Obviously I don't have great skills with this software (although I'm thinking that might be different by the time I get this project finished ). FYI, the version I have is 2.6.11, which is probably old; I could update if necessary. And it's running in Windows XP SP3.
See the image.

After several moves of pictures to a new disc (via File, Move within Photoshop Elements Organiser 9) the folder view no longer shows the correct photos. The photos are in the correct locations and the properties also show the correct location. If I select a directory in folder view however, several photos are shown that are not in that directory.
I tried to repair the catalog, but that didn't change the problem.
I am very much missing a facility in the Organiser to move directories, a complete directory tree or just the disk letter of my catalog.
