AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Inserting TIFFs With World File
Jul 8, 2013
I am trying to insert a tif that has a world file. I have AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013. I changed my workplace to Planning and Analysis. I clicked on the Image ican. I found the tif file I wanted (the tfw is in the same directory), I clicked open. It does not give me the option to select the tfw from the correlation source dropdown.
I have 4 plans of the a building in separate files, all set to world ucs. I xref in ground floor to the first floor, then move the first floorr so it aligns. I complete the same process for plant room and roof. Having saved all the files I then xref back the first floor into the ground floor using the insertion point as 0,0,0 but the plans do not align???!!! I do the same for the other plans, the plant room plan aligns with ground floor whilst the roof plan aligns with fist floor [but not ground].
I have tried reinserting numerous times but am missing something? The files were supplied to us as dwg format but I do not know the full history.
We have a template file for all of our engineering drawings. When we receive the topo from our survey department we insert the topo (as a block) into our Eng. dwg. Our Survey dept just did their first topo using 2012 and survey figures. When we try to insert the dwg the system crashes. I can XML the surface into the drawing, but I don't get the line work.
I'm trying to insert images from a Mr. Sid file using the geospatial tool based setup. It worked fine last week, but for some reason the images are NOT coming into correct coordinates nor are they coming in scaled correctly. I've tried resetting multiple settings but no luck so far...
I have a storm drainage drawing that has all the parts, pipes, and their labels in model space (as a data reference) and everything shows up fine in Civil 3D 2010. But my drafter opened the drawing in regular 2010 auotcad with object enablers loaded and the labels were rotated to the world coordinate system and not the plan view. Is there a setting in the styles that controls this?
I have been sent a very large number of files for which the world file is jpgw not jpw. Is there any way to get AutoDesk to recognize this? I know that I can get it to work by renaming the world file to jpw, but I have hundreds of files so really don't ant to go down that route.
I have a world map(.gif file) which has yellow circles on top of it. I need to erase all the them from the map. How can I do it using GIMP? Is there anyway I can get my original picture back?
If I zip tiffs using Image Processor or Image Processor Pro, the file gets zipped but not the layers. That means the zipped tiffs are much bigger than the psds. Zipping the layers manually is very tedious, but gets the size down to about the same or slightly less than a psd. It seems to me that selecting zip for compression should zip everything by default. It doesn't seem to.
My Windows 7 PC does have CS5 installed. I also have a full Office 2010.
I've got 32 TIF files, each the page of a comic book. i want to crete a 32 page PDF file. Turning one tiff into one PDF in Photoshop is easy. But two or more into a single pdf document... I don't see how.
I went to some other forums and was called 'stupid', 'lazy' etc. and am very frustarted at this. I simply cannot spend any more time researching because I have wasted days doing just that.
I shoot in raw and typically edit files as ProPhoto uncompressed 16-bit TIFFs. It's been a while since I set that as my default and I can't remember what the tradeoffs were for compression and even PSD vs. TIFF. Is there a handy reference to inform these choices?
i am trying to translate a Point coordinates from Paperspce to world coordinates in model space.The code i used in Land2006 worked OK but now in Civil3d 2012 it doesn't!
Private Sub GetPlais_Click() Dim tmpnt1 As Variant, tmpnt2 As Variant, tmpPnt1 As Variant Dim lole(0 To 2) As Double, upri(0 To 2) As Double Dim returnobj As AcadObject
FrmGrid3.Hide On Error GoTo Eline ThisDrawing.Utility.GetEntity returnobj, tmpPnt1, "ÅðÝëåîå ôï ViewPort ðïõ èá äçìéïõñãçèåß ï êÜíáâïò!" If TypeOf returnobj Is IAcadPViewport Then [code]........
I use the command 'hyperlink' I select the object and the program crashes and is 'not responding'
Now the tricky is that this happens both in Autocad Map 2010 and 2013. And happens also in files I already have hyperlinks and new ones. If I run the software as an administrator in my pc, the command works excellent.
I insert hyperlinks in the files for many years and till now everything worked fine.
I am trying to insert some blocks that i read from CSV file. I am reading the values for X and Y position from a CSV file and inseting blocks with this values in AutoCAD.
I have an exercise where I created a title block. phase 2 of the exercise asks me to insert the title block into another existing dwg. I went to the insert tab then went to attach the file I had created for the title block.
Under Toolspace/Survey/Survey Point I have a series of points shown. These are not shown under points in the prospector tab. How to insert these into my actual drawing?
When inserting an xref, which I have prepared with a file name etc in a drawing, Autocad prompt me this message" The file you have chosen cannot be used as a block name or is greater than 8 characters. Autocad has assigned a shortened block name. Enter an Altenate name "
I inserted .gif picture to my drawing file. Is it possible to insert the picture into the file that when I open the dwg file on other pc, it doesn't need gif picture from my hard drive? I want to copy dwg ( Do I have to copy all the pictures too?)to the CD and print it in a copy store.
first i set the projection and then it asks me insertion point.
1)why the map do not come in at the correct location and c3d needs me to specify the incertion point?
2)then it asks the rotation. i thought that all maps are pointing at north. but if i set it at 90 degrees pointing straight to the north a get a litle rotation that becomes very noticeable as i move far from the incertion point.
if the 90degrees is wrong, how can i find the correct rotation to give the c3d?
3) ok. that map is incerted. can i pan , move it ?rotate it ? how ?
tried to insert Excel tables into 2013 3D? It worked fine in 2012 but we just upgraded to 2013 and it no longer works. We get an error message that Excel is not supported. Is this a new feature or a bug? Also, our old drawings with the table already inserted does not plot normally. The table characters print at diffent sizes.
I have made an add-in that automates the insertion of points on a surface and I am trying to find out how to put these points on a specific layer. I guess that changing the "standard" default Point style would do the trick, but I can't find the objects to use in the Civil3D API.
I had about 20 cross sections that I created multiple section views for. I added 2 cross sections (one near the beginning, one in the middle).
Can I get these new sections to insert into their proper locations (by station) with a kind of refresh of my multiple section views without having to recreate multiple section views?
I already have the section sheets lined up in viewports on layout tabs. I want to keep everything in the same place. If the only way I can add the new sections is to create multiple section views again, what's the best way to handle this? Draw some kind of cross-hairs in model space when picking where to generate them and pick on the same point every time?
I am having trouble inserting a JPEG image in Inventor 2011 LT drawing (DWG) file. The Image button on Insert panel under Manage tab is always disabled. I am able to bring in the image using Insert Object feature and selecting 'create from file' option. Although the resulting image looks OK on the screen, it looks inverted and distorted when printed.
I am facing the same problem when I try to insert image in a dwg sketch, however, the process works as expected on part sketches.
Is there a way to import a pdf file into ACAD? I have tried inserting an OLE image but I get an error "Failed to creat object. Make sure the object is entered in the system registry."
I am inserting hyperlinks in an mtext object using the following commands:
1. Within the mtext box, right click and select "insert field" 2. Choose "linked" 3. Choose "Hyperlink" 4. Type in the web address in the box to allow autodesk to load the website 5. Choose "insert link" 6. Modified "text to display" 7. Exit text editor.
I created an attribute of a title block, our company logo is inserted as a raster image within the attribute, I created this dwg file into a dwt file (template) however every time I open a new drawing and insert in the template file in the paperspace tab the attribute comes in but always with the logo?
The frame of the logo shows up with the file path of where is is located.
