AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Coordinate System Variable

Sep 2, 2013

I want to have a piece of text added to the drawing notes that uses a field (or similar), to list the coordinate system code assigned to the drawing, i.e. UTM83-12.

Any setvar or something that I can use?

There are load of different coordinate systems to choose from, and I don’t want to have to manually enter it for every drawing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: DWG Coordinate System Transformation?

Nov 20, 2012

My group is trying to convert a dwg from one coordinate system to another. The original drawing contains points, blocks, etc. in 1 system and we need it in a different one. We tried attaching the dwg to a new map with the new system using a layer query, but this did not appear to bring in the objects into the new system.

"Structures" is in the original system (OR83-NF), "StructuresHarn" is in the desired system (ORHP-NIF)

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Coordinate System To Survey Feet

Nov 5, 2013

We are having a bit of a debate in our office. When you are working on civil engineering project where you are recieving files form Architects and Landscape Architects, and sending out "Dumbed Down" AutoCAD files to folks who don't have Civil3d, do you change your Civil3d Coordinate System to survey feet & specify your state plane coordinate system?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Coordinate System Failure?

Jun 7, 2012

I think this problem started after installing C3D 2012, and I don't think it's related to the UAC problems.  I tried asking my reseller about it, but got no answer. 

This happens with all projects that use Custom Coordinate Systems created in C3D 2011 or earlier.  When opening the drawing and going into "Drawing Settings", I get this, and have to click seven times through the error box to finally have it do nothing:

Then, if I go back to Drawing Settings, I see this:

Notice how most of the dialog box settings are missing.

This stuff all worked fine for years, but seems to have gotten broken as soon as I installed C3D 2012, and is still broken in C3D 2013.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Coordinate System Code Is Not Valid

I just installed AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 last week from upgrading from 2011.  I just noticed that when I set up a new drawing coordinate system for a horizontal datum, I get a message "Coordinate System Code is not Valid".  I know the files are loaded under the documents and settings folder, but I don't know why it's not reading them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Coordinate System Not Assigned In 2013

Jan 3, 2013

When assigning a coordinate system to my drawing in Civil 3D 2013, the drawing does not retain the selected system.

I choose the coord system I want in Map Setup and apply it (in this case MT83IF). After applying to the drawing I go back to verify the selected coordinate system and the dialog box indicates "N/A". The only workaround I can find is to save the drawing back to an earlier version and open it on another computer in the office that is running 2011. There I can assign my coord system and then reopen in 2013 where it now shows it properly assigned.

I have tried other coord systems to make sure it isn't isolated to just the one I am selecting - and it happens with all others I try. I have also tried a repair on my install to see if that would correct it to no avail.

I have a 64 bit system and have installed all service packs to date.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Transform Coordinate System And Data Shortcuts?

Mar 21, 2012

We are starting a project that we will be preparing a site grading plan for.We are being provided with an ALTA Survey drawing that is on state plane coordinate system, and the existing topography that I will be using for my existing surface is on a UTM coordinate system.

The site grading plan needs to be on state plane coordinate system that the ALTA Survey drawing is on.

I haven't done it before but I understand you can use Map 3D and take drawings that are on different coordinate systems and have them line up properly.

If I have my existing surface in a UTM coordinate system and want to data shortcut it into my site grading plan that's on state plane coordinates, will that work?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Assign Coordinate System When Importing LAS Files

Aug 8, 2012

I have been trying to import LAS files via Civil 3D 2011.

To do this I first turn the workspace to ''Tool based geospatial''. Then i assign a global coordinate system which is the same one as the LAS file i am importing. The in the task pane window (command: mapwspace) under display manager tab i right click on map base --> data --> add point cloud data --> create new index and then choose the file I want to import. Here i have some trouble; in the create new index window i am unable to assign a coordinate system, i can find the one i need but i cant select it (or any other), it persists on staying unselected. I am able to create an index without a coordinate system but I need it with the right coordinates.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Setting Up Custom Coordinate System For COGO Points

Jul 10, 2012

I have a small field (5 by 5 meters) to be set out with about 40 points. Currently i use EOV (Hungarian National Coordinate System), thus each point has a lot of digits. I want to make the implemetor's job easier, so i want to move and rotate the CS near to my field.

I tried to use UCS, but the COGO points retained the "World" coordinates.

How to carry out this without moving my whole drawing to the origin?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: SHP File Data Connect Imports To Wrong Coordinate System

Jul 11, 2013

When the attached shape file (change soilmu_a_a.txt to .shp) is imported using MAPIMPORT the data aligns with other imported georeferenced raster imagery (said imagery was imported using the MAPIINSERT command).  If the same shape file is imported using the data connect tool it shows up in a much different location (see word document).

The drawing coordinate system code is "UTM83-18F" and the data was downloaded from the Web Soil Survey's data download with the identical coordinate system (see attached readme.txt).

I prefer to use the data connect option when importing this type of shape file because I can label them all using a theme and use stylize the data for visualization/presentation.

As an aside, I have found that data connect does not automatically transform data coordinate systems to match your drawing coordinate system as advertised.  I've used the edit coordinate system to no avail; however, again when the file is imported using MAPIMPORT and saved as a drawing (with native data coordinate system) and then that drawing is queried from a drawing in a different coordinate system it seems to transform the coordinate system just fine.  Is this a problem with data connect?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: DEM - Assign Coordinate System

Aug 15, 2012

I'm using Map3D & Raster Design 2012.

I have connected to some SRTM DEM data, but the resulting terrain and contours I generated are not showing properly. Specifically, the map area is stretched out of shape (too wide L & R). I seem to recall it had to do with setting the proper "define coordinate system" option for the file.

AutoCAD .NET :: How To Set Global Coordinate System

Oct 22, 2009

The following code works for querying the global coordinate system of a drawing

Dim Current1 As Autodesk.Gis.Map.MapApplication
Current1 = Autodesk.Gis.Map.HostMapApplicationServices.Application
Dim Proiect1 As Autodesk.Gis.Map.Project.ProjectModel
Proiect1 = Current1.ActiveProject
MsgBox(Proiect1.Projection.ToString)

The following line of code doesn't work

Proiect1.Projection = "UTM83-12"

On vb.net gives this: "Exception of type ‘Autodesk.Gis.Map.MapException was thrown."

In Autocad gives this error: "Cannot save projection code to the drawing"

The error log is:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <Map3dErrorLog xmlns:xsi=[URL]... xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="AcMap3dErrorLog.xsd">

- <Session user="dpopescu" start="10/22/2009 7:22:56 AM" document="Drawing1.dwg">

AutoCAD LT :: Block Coordinate System?

Oct 3, 2011

When I click on a block in my drawing the properties bar shows "position x" and "position y" but these coordinates do not match up at all with the x,y coordinates shown in the bottom left corner of the screen. For example, my cursor over the block is at about 370000,4900000 but the block position is 170000, -140000. Is there a different coordinate system the block position is referring to?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Setting Up Coordinate System / Geo-Referencing

I have an Map that was drawn in regular autoCAD drawn 1:1.  I know the coordinate system that I need to assign to it and some known coordinate but how to I go about getting my current map to be correctly Geo-referenced.  

Is there a way to tell AutoCAD map that a certain few points are at certain coordinates, and the rest falls into place?

AutoCad 2D :: Rotating UCS Icon / Coordinate System?

Sep 9, 2011

I received a drawing from a designer some time ago showing the UCS Icon rotated so that the building / structure on the drawing was square to the screen but the original coordinate system was also maintained. How to do this as I often have to rotate drawings to suit a particular site coordinate system and then have to view the drawing at an angle on the screen rather than square on. With irregular shaped buildings or structures it is not so important but for most buildings it would be useful to look at the plan the way it was drawn so as not to give myself a crick in the neck!
