AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Lines On Different Layers
Mar 14, 2012
I have a bunch of feature lines defining some building footprints and what not. They are on different layers for each possible design I am considering. Whenever I freeze any of the feature lines, they all turn off, eventhough they are on different layers? What is the problem?

Civil 3D 2013.
Problem with command from Home tab - Draw panel - Curves drop-down - Create Curves Between Two Lines OR Create Curve on Two Lines.
If you select the Degree option, it draws a zero length curve when you type in a valid number for degree of curve. I have tried entering it in decimal format and as ##d##'. NOTHING WORKS!

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.

I have a drawing that has xref's that some of the xref do not plot.
Import the xref it will not plot.
Insert the xref and explosed it and it will not plot.
I have check the layers that everything is on and they are set right to plot.
Never ran into these problem before working 20 years this Autodesk.

Am I able to assign different layers to each line within a multi line.
Another Options is am i able to draw a Pline as two lines "Stacked" on top of each other in different layers?

I am having an issue with plotting a drawing that includes an xref. I have also included an attachment as reference.
I am working in AutoCAD 2010; I have a drawing that includes another drawing as an xref. The xref is on layer “0” in model space and my titleblock, annotation and viewports are in paper space (layout tab). I am using color dependent plot styles (.STB). The xref is a 3D model created with basic AutoCAD solids representing steel shapes, there are also some line segments representing the steel centerlines. The viewport is a plan view of the 3D steel model, the view is not clipped. Since the xref contains 3D objects when I print the drawing I don't want the “hidden” lines to show up, I accomplish this by setting the viewport shade plot setting to “HIDDEN”.
Here is the problem:
When I print the drawing the xref’s layers do not print correctly but rather take on the properties of layer “0” which has a plot style of “NORMAL” so everything prints in color and with a default lineweight. I want the xref to print using the xref’s layer properties that are defined in the .STB file. One variable that changes the outcome of the printed drawing is the viewport shade plot setting.
If the viewport shade plot is set to HIDDEN the xref prints using layer “0” properties (undesired) and the3D object lines are hidden (desired). See attached Viewport #1
If the viewport shade plot is set to AS DISPLAYED the xref prints using the xref’s layer properties (desired) but the 3D object lines are not hidden (undesired). See attached Viewport #2
The ONLY difference between the two viewports is the shade plot setting, there are no layer overrides and only the xref objects are affected, the objects in paper space print as expected. This only happens with an xref or block. If I bind the xref into the drawing and explode it so the objects are “live” in the drawing everything works fine. Unfortunately I need it to work correctly with an xref.
If I use a color dependent plot style (.CTB) where the .CTB file controls the color and lineweight I am able to achieve the desired results, unfortuneatly my company is determined to use .STB files

As the title indicates I want to redefine the layers for section lines and generated sections.

I want to create a Layer Filter that excludes both Civil Layers and Xrefs.
I have created one that excludes Civil objects (Excel Civil.jpg) but when I add a filter for excluding xrefs as well the Civil objects appear in the filter again indeed all the layers are included again (Excel Xref.jpg) if I invert the filter nothing is displayed.

With my inkling pen i've created a drawing for PS. It now contains 30 layers, each one has a line. I would like to animate these lines/layers, so it looks (in an animated gif) like the lines are drawn one by one.
Is there a "quick" way to do so?

I have just installed Photoshop CS6 and notice every time i add a new layer there is pixelated lines and decayed shapes that show up. This makes it impossible to work. I have a Nvidia Quadro 6000 running in combination with a tesla c2075 there was not any problem i could see with other CS6 programs and it was working fine with CS5.

I've been wondering, is there some trick to starting 2 Bezier lines at the same start- and end-points? Or do I have to eyeball it? Can I reactivate an old, previously selected line after something else has been selected? Is it possible to keep several lines selected in separate layers apart from each other?

I see that there is an Inquiry tool for Minimum distance between two lines but I can't find anything about the maximum distance.

I'm trying to create sample lines at sta. 0+58, 1+08, 1+58, 2+08......................
My alignment begins at 0+00.
In the Create Sample Lines - By Station Range I set the From Alignment Start?end both to false and set the start and end stations as 0+58 and 20+58 respectively. The 0+58 sample line plots at 0+58 but the rest of the sample lines plot at even 50' stations (1+00, 1+50...).

If I draw a line and label it I get the correct bearing and distance. If I list the line it gives me a different bearing. how can I correct this?

what i did wrong, but suddenly lines with different colors are all displayed as gray. I could attach the file, but the problem is really simple. I have three lines and under properties i can clearly see that one should be red, the other should be color 250 and the third 253, but visually all the lines look gray (i believe they look 253 to be exact).
If i draw new lines, the colors act normally, but the old lines are all gray.

I have built a alingment, corridor, and surface of a driveway but I have a few holes in my surface. I tried to add lines to my TIN surface and some filled in properly but others would not and I had TIN lines that crossed (actually they are 4 different lines that meet at on point). Why does this happen and how can I fix it?

I Keep having this reoccuring problem today - white lines keep appearing attatched to certain & all layers in photoshop files that I have, the only solution that seems to get rid of them is to put a mask on the layer and mask the line away, these are appearing on text, smart objects & rastersized layers.
They were not there when I previously saved the file and they should not be there now, I then went to open another file I had and white lines started to appear on the files. This is really frustrating because some of the website documents have alot of layers. I have attatched an example below, they only appear to be 1 pixel and can range up to 2500pixels wide and they overlap making the line look thicker sometimes.

When I blend layers using multiply, and lower the opacity of the top layer (such as to compensate for too much flash), photoshop puts all these vertical lines on the image. The only time they are not visible is when opacity is set to 0% or 100% for the top layer.

When i Export the drawing to PDF format through the plot command and choose the DWG to pdf, some of the layers not appear in PDF file and some of them appear.
is there is any command that i can control the appearance of the layer in the PDF file.

I created a profile showing original ground and included superimposed profiles and an offset of the og line. Now when I open the drawing, the profile lines are gone. The grid is there, all of the profiles are listed under the alignment but they are not showing up. All of the styles are on and I've turned all layers on. I've tried to regain all and recover the drawing but the profile lines are not showing in the grid.

So here's an odd one (at least I think it's odd ): I have a drawing that it utilizing feature lines which are projected to the cross sections to display R.O.W., easements, etc. However, every now and then (there doesn't appear to be any similar operation that causes this) the feature lines will change their location, in this case they typically seem to move north and east about 200'. I can't deuplicate the problem...it just seems to happen on its own.
I'm running Civil 3D 2013 with SP 2.

I have created a feature line from a survey which will be the inside shld of my new road design. I have created the feature line using my design elevations but need to add a PI and Elevation at a specific Northing. When I try to edit I can only seem to find the chainage and elevation but I also need to know the northings and eastings so I know where to insert my PI. I would like to just edit the table since I can't seem to figure out how to insert the PI. (I am new to C3D and still learning...) My final product will be a road with 2% crossfall and I intend to use offeset and grading features to accomplish my final design. How I make this edit...

Putting in a simple berm crest, and the triangles skip right over a certain section. Swap edge does nothing and adding points seems to make things worse. I have been able to fix this problem before, but only by deleting my surface and then putting all the pieces back in at once. Then it's perfect.
I think part of the problem may be that the "Contour help" I put in at the blue major contours is screwing things up.I have had the same issue when putting in down-slope channels as well.

I have a client that just started using C3D 2010. When I sent him a topographic survey with contour lines (I am also using C3D 2010) he called me and asked if there was a way to select an individual contour line and have it display the elevation in the 'properties' dialog box. I have not been able to find an answer for him.

I'm currently using the Autocad Civil 3D 2014 on daily basis for urban infrastructure design. When using Autocad Civil 3D 2013, I always would create feature lines from corridors and then export this file to a ACAD 2007 version, which would read the feature lines as 3D polys. The company's topographer could then use this file to make his markings on the field very easily.
Now, when I do the same process using Autocad Civil 3D 2014, the ACAD 2007 file won't present the feature lines as 3D polys, but as 2D polys. This presents a major inconvenient, because I now have to export the file to ACAD 2007, open it in Autocad Civil 3D 2013, rebuild the surface from the design contours and create a feature line from the design surface; export the surface AGAIN to ACAD 2007 and FINALLY I'll get the 3D poly my topographer can read.

Is there a way to quckly join contour lines that have been broken where the contour elevation is?
example, if this were a contour line ---------501---------
I'd want to delete the contour elevation and join the line to make a continuous contour line.....

I have a curb return that was drawn as a fillet and I added two points at the PC and PT. Is there a way to create a feature line out of this with the two points associated so that it will interperlate between those 2 points?
