AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Layers Stuck In Template?

Jan 18, 2013

I am working on the template for my company and making all the styles, labels, etc all consistent to our company standards. This also includes our standards layer names. There are 2 layers that I can't get rid of because they are in use somewhere. C-ROAD-CNTR-STAN and O_PROF-VIEW-TEXT both of these layers do not meet our standards and I can't get rid of them. I went through every style and label to see if I could find where they were being used, but couldn't find them anywhere. I made sure I check the layers for plan, profile, model and section on the display tab of each style. 

Since there are so many styles to go through I wanted to try to narrow it down, so I started a new drawing from the template. I purged all of the styles, purged the layers, but they were still there. I set the object layers all to 0. I made sure that every label style default setting was also set to 0. Then I even created all new styles and labels for everything, did a "replace with" and made sure only the new styles were in use, removed the old styles and did a purge. But these layers still are being used somewhere. I tried using LAYTRANS to translate them into the 0 layer, but it doesn't work. There are no blocks in the drawing that are using these layers.

The only command that works to get rid of them is LAYDEL, but doing that makes me concerned that a setting may not have a layer set up for it and it may cause problems in the future.
 
Attached is a dwg file that I have stripped down as described above. I am using Civil 3D 2012, SP 2. Where a layer is in use? How you can now find where a style is in being referenced?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lock Template Layers - Can't Be Purged And LISP

Oct 30, 2012

In my seemingly never-ending battle with standardizing, I have created a template with all the layers I expect to use in the future.  The template will be used by both surveyors and engineers so I have layers that won't ever be used by surveyors.  What I don't want is the surveyor to purge the drawing and delete all the layers that the engineers will need.  I found the link below explaining and .lisp to replace deleted layers. 

[URL]

Now, I am completely new at .lisp and how to use them.  Also, this template is used in a program called BricsCad (some of the older generation still uses it instead of Autocad) and using .dws and checking isn't an option for them.

Revit :: Stuck Inside Sheet Template Schedule Editor

Oct 8, 2012

In customizing a sheet template, I entered into a "Schedule: Revision Schedule".  I made the minor adjustments, but can not get back to the sheet template. 
 
The 'Project Browser' only has "Schedules" under 'Views'.  (refer to attached image)  I know the rest of the content from the sheet (eg. titleblock) are still in the file, as it still is present when I "Load into Project".
 
How do you exit the schedule editor from a sheet template file?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drawing Units Stuck On Architectural

Feb 22, 2012

I have an old dwg that I used to add new data to. I also inserted a block produced by Revit to get a building elevation. I am not sure when or how it happend, but my drawing scale units are stuck on arch. I am talking about the bottom right hand corner of the screen on the status bar where there is the spot to set drawing scale. When I open by clikcing the arrow all the scales are in architectural units. I can add a custom scale of 1"=100', but it does not otherwise appear in the list. I wasn't going to wrry about it, but when I layout a plan/pro series they do not seem to be scaling correctly (and I cannot find a place to specify what scale I want the views to be at). UNITS, -DWGUNITS & -AECDWGUNITS don't fix it, they are all set to decimal, etc. Using the seetings tab to change the drawing settings, everything is set to feet, there is no place to specify arch units, the 100 scale drawing is shown as a custom scale.

This is C3D release 2012, on a 64bit Win7 Pro machine, everything is up to date.

Where I can change the units for the drawing scale?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Opening File Gets Stuck At 50% Synchronizing References For 5+ Minutes

May 11, 2012

I have a file that looks like it is going to open nice and fast and then it gets stuck at 50% synchronizing references. It literally takes over 5 minutes for the file to come completely up and ready to work on.

In the file I have an existing ground surface data reference and two corridors (with alignments, profiles and profiles views) that are basic access roads roughly 1200' long each with a very basic assembly. I also have a pipe network data referenced that is just a bunch of pipes that represent existing utilities crossing the access road so I can show them in cross sections. The final thing I have in here are 50' cross sections for each of these access roads.

 why does it take me 5+ minutes to get into this file?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Redefine Layers From Template File

Sep 13, 2013

I'm trying to set up a company layer structure and want to use LISP. Therefore I'd like to use a template file and set every layer with it's specific linetype and color there. If I change something in the template, say the color of a layer, it should update this in the drawing when I hit the LISP command.

AutoCAD Architecture :: Setup Own Template Drawing With Title Block / Layers

Apr 2, 2012

I was presented with a little renovation project and need to setup my own drawing.  I've worked on CAD for a number of years while at a structural firm, an engineering firm and took classes in school but one thing I never had to do was setup was my own professional drawing from scratch.  I know enough that it's crucial I start off on the foot.  The engineering firm I worked at had everything ready so whenever I used CAD it was in an existing drawing or preparing a detail which the drafters imported.  When I did some drafting work for an architect, he also had the drawing setup for me.   

Since I'm now on my own I need to setup my own template drawing with a title block, layers, etc.  Whats the best route for setting up my own sheets?  

At my firm we always worked in a 1:1 scale & engineering units but since I'm doing floor plans for renovation work I plan on using the industry standard.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lisp Routine For Thawing Layers Then Freezing Specific Layers

Dec 31, 2013

I would like to know how to write a routine to thaw all layers in current drawing and multiple xrefs; then freeze all, then thaw only certain layers globally for a drawing that is open.  Such as a dimension plan will thaw only *-BLDG, *-DIMS, *-RD-*, *BNDRY.

I would like to create one that will fit every project which has a different xref name.

Paint.NET :: Use Template Photo And Add Two More Photos By Adding Two More Layers

Jun 18, 2012

I need to use a template photo and onto that one add two more photos, by adding two more layers.

Then I need to delete the original (background) one, which would be the template.

However when I delete it, the entire picture gets deleted, i.e. also the photos I pasted on top of it.

How can I avoid that?

Additional information:

Very strangely when adding a new layer, though in the layer screen it shows that I am adding them,

when I paste the first photo onto the background, it then becomes the background image, rather than layer number 2.

Illustrator :: Why Do Layers Disappear From Template / When Open It As New Document In AI CS5

Dec 16, 2013

I created a template and placed it in the Graphic Styles folder. When I use the New command and select the new template from Graphic Styles, the Guide layer disappears. When I double click the template to open it the guides are there. Why is the guide layer getting stripped out when I use the New command? I want to avoid opening from template everytime.
 
The weird thing is that I had a template that was opening with guides until I made some changes to it. Now it doesn't work either.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Style - Name Template

Mar 8, 2012

I would like to have my parcels be able to label the lots with sometihng other than the Lot # given by the setup of the parcel itself. What i'd like to be able to do is have it label Outlot A - which I haven't been able to figure out to date.

How can I get the parcel style to use something other than the word Lot or a number (given the typical lot is a number). We have various reasons why Outlot A is a needed label. How does one go about getting C3D to use something other than the name template in parcel style. I can toggle the name template option off once I create the parcel. But, when I toggle it off - then go to the name and change it to Outlot A - the parcel label still shows as Lot 1. Why?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Frame / Sheet Create Template?

I was wondering if a template used to create frames using the create frame tool in autocad civil 3D should have the same datum, projection as the files that are being referenced? Or is the template independent from from the reference files and does not need any datum, projection setting applied to it?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Template Editing (Annotative Multileader)

Sep 10, 2012

My company has a template setup with an elevation callout for curb and gutter. The callout displays a box around two elevations (TC and G). The TC and G Labels after the elevations only show up in paper space on a 1"=1' scale, which is how the referenced block was set up. I need the labels to show up in 1:20 and/or 1:40 scale in paper space but only the elevations appear. I edited and saved the referenced block but the changes don't appear to have taken to the template.
