AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import ASCII File Into Drawing
Nov 4, 2013I'm having problems importing points into Civil 3D 2012.I'm trying to import an ASCII file into the drawing.Files formats are P,N,E,Z,D in ASCII file and the same format is selected when I try importing.
The ASCII file has well over a 1000 points but when I import the points only the first twenty or so points import to the drawing.This seems not to be limited to this drawing.I tried to import points to a different drawing and the same thing happened.
Up to this point I have not had trouble importing points into other various drawings.Is there a button or setting that may have changed that is preventing full importation of the points?
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Import ASCII Point Coordinates (from Comma Delimited File) Into File
Oct 17, 2011I'm relatively new to AutCAD map 3d but I've used arcGIS a while back.
I have existing roads, towns etc data that are already set to UTM 17. I want to import ascii point coordinates (from a comma delimited file) into the file. I can import the ascii coordinates as points fine (easting and northing), however the points come in as the absolute coordinates rather than geometric coordinates. I already set the files for right geographic projections. Beyond manually inputing the coordinates into the coordinate tracker, is there a way to import the coordinates form the file set for the geometric coordinates?
AutoCad :: ASCII File Of Position - Import Points
Dec 5, 2012i received a ascii file of position and elevation points (PNEZD) and do not see any where to import these points into AutoCAD 2011.
I know there exists survey products from autodesk, but still kind of wondering why there is no easy way to import points in the basic CAD program.
How to import a PNEZD file into AutoCAD 2011?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing ASCII File Error / Rounds Elevation To Nearest Foot
Aug 12, 2013I am battling is bringing in LiDAR files from ArcGIS. I have tried TXT and ASC, and they both seem to only maintain the elevation to the nearest foot, as you can see in the attached image.
What is strange, is that when the file is brought back into GIS, this issue is a problem. Is there a setting for reducing the amount of units when importing data? The text file as I shared has data to the thousandth.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grid Volume - Changing Grid Spacing
Jan 18, 2012Understanding that composite volumes are typically more accurate, I have a reason to evaluate the volume between two surfaces via a grid volume. Easily created a grid volume surface using a 50' grid (50' is large for this site, but wanted to get a feel for calculation time).
Question: Can you change the grid size without creating a new grid surface? Ultimately I woud like to explore the difference in volumes based on grid sizing without creating a long list of surfaces. One would expect that you could chage the grid spacing in surface properties, but the values are non-editable.

CorelDRAW X6 :: Export Object Names In ASCII File?
Jun 7, 2013I've exported in all supported vector file formats, and it seem that only SVGsupports object name (and data)... however, I can't use SVG at the moment.
Is there a way to export all objects using a macro?I need in plain ascii: layer and object names, and maybe object data.
I'm looking for a simple format, no transform matrices (as in SVG).
Something like this:

View 1 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: STM File Import
Oct 30, 2013After analyzing a storm system in SSA or Storm Sewers I’m exporting it to a .stm file. When importing to CAD it recognizes the existing pipe network and asks to update it which works but it adds two horizontal purple lines in the profile which are attached to one of the pipes in the profile. If you erase the purple lines it erases the pipe with it.
Things I tried already with no success:
-Erase profile and re-create it
-Erase alignment and re-create it
-Erase all pipes before import (so it would import as new, not update)
-Try LandXML for export/import (this wouldn’t update pipes, it just brought in a whole new network and messed up all the styles/parts)
Here is what it looks like:
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Import STM File
Nov 30, 2012I executed Edit in Storm Sewers to work on the Pipe Network in Civil 3D. I made some changes in Storm Sewers, now I want to Import back to Civil 3D.
Nothing is happening in Civil 3D when I try to Import with either of the choices, picking Overwrite or to Create a new pipe network. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
I have attached the drawing file and the STM file.

Jun 18, 2012I have a text file in PNEZD where D is XYZ. I have a description key for XYZ. I am importing this file into survey. When I import this file the points do not take the style of the description key, they take a default style from somewhere. What trick am I missing so that when I import points into survey they use the description key and therefore have the correct style.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: CSV File Import Into Drawing - Marker Styles
Apr 7, 2013I import a csv file into my drawing and all the points and figures get drawn correct and on the correct layers.
But I end up getting some extra things also:
1. a little white circle comes in from the marker styles. it comes in on layer V-SURV-NTWK
2. i also get an extra white line that comes in on layer 0.
I have stopped these things from happening now by hitting the light bulb for the "basic" Marker Style and the "basic" Feature Line Styles. But i would really like to know what the Marker Style and Feature Line Styles are and what they are there for.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Settings Change On Import Of FBK File
Nov 20, 2013Recently we have discovered a problem (bug?) with the survey database. We usually import our field data from our Trimble controllers into the survey database (SDB) through Trimble Link. We have been very careful to get all the survey database settings right, so that the data comes through correctly and have been successful up until the last few weeks. We find this a good workflow, where we are able to make edits to our field data (change target heights etc) easily in the SDB and comparisons with Trimble Business Center and direct output on-screen in the controller confirm that our data is reliable. We often have both GPS (long Network RTK vectors from the nearest network base station) and total station observations in the same file.
The issue is that, as the fbk file is imported, the survey database settings change to reflect the content of the fbk file. The "Atmospheric conditions" and "Curvature and Refraction" settings, which I have purposely left unticked (the controller applies these corrections), become ticked. This throws out our heights, especially on the long GPS lines.
We do have the option for a workaround, which involves going back into the Edit Survey Database Settings after import and updating the data in the sdb, but this is clumsy.
This seems to be similar to the issue that was discussed here. However, we have only just encountered this issue in the past month or two, which coincides with when we rolled out C3D 2012 Service Pack 4 across the office. We are planning on implementing 2014 soon, so I have tried it out on 2014 as well, with the same result.
Is this something that others are dealing with too? Perhaps there's some sneaky setting somewhere that I haven't found which locks down the SDB settings preventing them from being changed on import? Otherwise, I think this is a bug.
I am also bracing myself for some comments regarding the dangers of using GPS in the SDB!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import CSV File Points Don't overlay Original Topography

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Point File And Assign Elevation Based On Existing Surface
Apr 12, 2012I have a bunch (hundreds, so manual input not an option) of X,Y points without elevation data that I would like to import into a DWG and assign an elevation that is based on an existing surface object. Is there a way to do this for a point file? The command for inserting individual points would be the "Create points - Surface > Random" but I don't see a way to do this in a batch type method where i have my PNE formatted input file to just move the points to sit on the existing surface.

Jan 2, 2013Using Civil 3D 2012 x64
I have an SDF file which contains point objects with associated data table records. I'm trying to extract the data to xls file /or text file/
Once imported in Map there's the option to view data table, then one can go select all and copy/paste everything in excel. This would have been perfect if coordinates were exported too. Alas I end up with a rather useless table.
Is there a way to convert an SDF file to xls file and preserve all the data records along with the geometry /xyz/ in the process?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import A .job File From Trimble R6 GPS With Trimble Access Software
Sep 11, 2012I'm trying to import a .job file from our Trimble R6 GPS with Trimble Access software. I save the drawing and select import job. I have a device setup so I can navigate to the .job file, so i select the .job file and it starts to convert it, then i get the following error:
"
Unable to convert file.
Database Open Failed
File: [filepathhere] estjob.job.tic <--- not sure why it says .job.tic here its just a .job file
Select Abort to cancel the current operation
Retry to try again with this file
Ignore to skip this file and try the next.
"
If i hit retry it just keeps giving the same error, if i hit abort or ignore I get the following error:
"An error occurred during the file download. A required geoid model, datum grid or project grid file may not be available on this computer, or, This computer may need the "Update Office Software" option (from the Trimble Survey Controller CD) applied to it."
I've tried with Civil3D 2011 and 2012 both with Trimble Link installed for their respective versions. I have Trimble Business Center installed and updated along with Office Synchronizer. I went to Trimbles site and downloaded and installed all the update office software utilities in order in which they were released, the latest being April 2012. I tried uninstalling Trimble Link and reinstalling. I also downloaded and installed Trimble Office Configureation File Update Utility which last updated in August of 2012 and was suppose to update Trimble Link. I tried making a couple of test jobs on the data collector, some in state plane coordinates and some with no projection/no datum so a geoid file wouldnt be required, but they all return the same results. I've installed the geoid files on the collector using Trimble Link's Install Geoid and also added them to the Coordinate System Manager in Trimble Business Center.
I would like to convert using this utility because it gives azimuths and distances from our base receiver and I can use them to do adjustments after the job file has been converted to a fbk (fieldbook file).
AutoCAD Map 3D :: Importing ASCII Points
Feb 27, 2013Sitka 1/3 arc-second DEM is the page for the source of the .asc file.
I downloaded the rather large (190 mb) zipped file of a large ASCII file with a few extra things (readme, metadata, report)
I followed this how-to document.
And I get the error message "Cannot set the column 'Name'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column." And then nothing at all happens. No data imported.
Also, if I can't find the coordinates they assigned to the Ascii and I choose one I always use for this area, could that be the problem?
And I'l attach a photo of the 'preview' screen before I get before the error message.
