AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Manage Keynotes And General Notes As Custom Properties In SSM

Sep 6, 2012

Has used ssmpropeditor with civil3d 2012.  I see that it's approved for 2013 on the autodesk exchange sever, but no mention of how it works with 2012.  We are looking at using this to make SSM more user friendly to manage our keynotes and general notes as custom properties in the SSM.  We already use SSM to plot large jobs, populate title blocks and when notes reference other sheets.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Does Style Setting Plan Readability Work For General Notes

Mar 15, 2013

Does the Style setting Plan Readability work for General Notes? I've been thinking we should use notes for all our text so that they react the same as all the other Civil 3D labels. But they don't seem to. They scale correctly but stay parallel to the UCS.

I've tried this in a fresh drawing from a simple template and from an OOTB template. They never rotate in a layout. Is this the normal behavior or am I missing a setting? This is how I have it set in my style:

AutoCAD Architecture :: Properties Palette In 2014 Shows Only Current Settings Of General Properties

Aug 13, 2013

It's not just the layer that isn't being displayed in the Properties Palette.    My 2014 Properties Palette isn't contextual--displays only the general info--none of the object specific information.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Updating Sheet Set Custom Properties

Dec 2, 2013

I have a set of drawings with a large number of sheets.  I need to do a mass edit of the properties for each sheet (for example update the revision number, date, checked/design/approved/drafting initials, description).  The updated properties are largely similiar.

Is it necessary to update each sheet's custom properties individually, or is there an easier method?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Part Building - Assigning Custom Properties

Aug 7, 2012

Is it possible to use a custom properties within part builder to calculate pipe sizes?

Within part builder I have created a new parametric part under the rectangular pipe chapter.

This new parametric will represent a electrical conduit ductbank that will vary in size depending on the number of conduits in the ductbank. For example a 2 x 3 ductbank would have 2 columns and 3 rows of a 3" conduit. So the width and height of the rectangualr duct bank would be calculated this configuration. I will have up to 12 rows and coluimns in a single ductbank, so I might have a 10x10, 3x12, 12x 1, etc.

I have a custom pipes catalog and within the AeccPartParamCfg.xml I have created 2 custom propertes named ROWS & COLUMNS.

My question is can this custom property be used to calculate the the height & width on the rectangular pipe within part builder? Once I draw my pipe I would like the ability to edit ROWS & COLUMNS within the Pipes Properties to change its size. is this possible?  See image below.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Legal Phrasings - XML

Jun 12, 2012

I am using Civil 3D 2012. I am executing the reports General_Legal_Description_for_Alignments and _for_Parcels.

Through some research I was able to figure out where to adjust the precision. I was also able to learn that editing GeneralLegalPhrasings.XML is where I would format the wording.

But, the changes I make to GeneralLegalPhrasings.XML are not being reflected in the reports generated.

For example, Civil 3D defaults a line course to something like this: Thence N DEG MIN SEC E a distance of X.XX feet.

I edited all the mete type = "line" to read as follows: N DEG MIN SEC E, X.XX feet, thence

Here is an example of one of the lines: <Mete type="Point" connect="Line">{lineDirection}, {lineDistanceFoot} feet, thence  </Mete>

They all look like this, except the type and connect values change.

But there is no change in the output.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Note Label With Expression

Jul 22, 2013

I was wondering  if it is possible to use an expression in a general note label? The type of label I am using is a general note label that displays our finish grade profile elevation in plan view. What I am trying to do is add a value to that label for the TC elevation and G at the ROW. I noticed in the settings tab of the tool space, surfaces has an expression button that has what I want but I am not seeing that under General/Label Styels/Note. Is it possible to right my own expression? We are using Civil 3D 2008 with Windows XP.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Legal Description For Parcels?

Jun 24, 2013

was showing it off in class and it's always worked before but now it's not working on any of the computers. Just tried it on my laptop with the same results. I originally thought it was an issue with 2014 but 2013 isn't working either (and I know it was working in the past).

The only thing I can think of is my computer recently upgraded to IE10. Could that be it?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Daylight General - Which Priority To Standing Water

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Note - Plot Style Of Leader

Aug 15, 2012

We use STB plot style tables for all of our drawings.  I have several general note styles setup in Civil 3D 2012.  When you pull the note text out so that you have a leader, the leader does not plot per the plot style assigned to the layer that the note is set to display on on the General tab.  It appears as the proper color and freezes with the layer properly, but it plots with the settings of the plot style assigned to layer 0.  Is there a reason that the leaders don't use the plot style setting form the layer it is displayed on?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Update Notes And Legend On Every Sheet

Jun 4, 2013

Civil 3D 2010

I posted this in Autocad General but was wondering if I can do something using C3D tables or labels...

Currently we have about 30 sheets where we xref the same construction note and legend.  The client is asking us to remove notes that don't apply to each sheet.  For example, sheet 1 will not need note 2, 6, 10, 11.  Sheet 2 will not need 3, 5, 10, and 11, etc.

Same goes for the legend-  they don't want to see something if it does not apply to the sheet.

Other than bringing in those notes and legend into each sheet and modifying it, I can't think of another way to do this.  Previously, if I needed to change the wording of note 4, I change it once and I'm done.  If I need to change anything now, I will need to open up 20 sheets.

Also, they want to remove the note completely, and not just cover up the note with "Not used this sheet."

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Marker Style On General Note Labels

Feb 24, 2012

Is there a way to change the marker style on general note labels that are already in the drawing without having to select them all and change it in the properties? I want to change the marker style from "basic" to "none" on the note labels but I'm not seeing a ToolSpace setting to change them all at the same time without having to individually change it...

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 - General Segment Grade Text Component Not Updating

Oct 29, 2012

I extracted a dynamic feature line from the gutter flowline of my Corridor. I labeled Multiple Segments for the feature line with a grade and vertex style that uses the  "General Segment Grade" text component.

I am overiding lane cross slopes in the Section Editior and the segment grade labels for the extracted feature line do not update after I Update Corridor in the Section Editior. 

If I raise/lower the CL profile of the corridor, the label updates. Just not reacting to these Corridor edits.

Peculiar behavior: The label will update to reflect the Corridor update if I Isolate it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Manage Adding Title Blocks To Sheets

Apr 16, 2013

How to manage adding titleblocks to sheets. On my last few projects I had x-ref'd in a titleblock which contained all of the generic info that was consistent throughout the whole sheet set. Then I created a block that I inserted into each sheet that I could edit and make sheet specific.

While this works, once you have insertion points correct, I was thinking about instead making the generic part of the titleblock a block also. My concern is that as I have revisions, the generic block that I would update would not "ripple" through the whole set quite like it did when I was x-refing it in.

AutoCAD .NET :: Deleting / Resetting Custom Properties?

Dec 21, 2011

I have been programming our document and version control values into the sheet set object, as a result the custom property list per drawing is getting a little large and is becoming a bit hard to manage. There are now properties with values that are no longer needed. Is there a way to delete or clear or maybe reset the customproperty bag per sheetset object / sheet object?

I have been playing around with code that looks like this:
 
Private Sub DeleteCustomProperties(ByRef myItem As IAcSmPersist, Optional ByVal Lock As Boolean = True) ''Throw New NotImplementedException Dim myDB As AcSmDatabase = myItem.GetDatabase Try Select Case myItem.GetTypeName Case "AcSmSheetSet" If True Then Dim mySheetset As AcSmSheetSet = myItem mySheetset.GetCustomPropertyBag.Clear() End If Exit Select Case "AcSmSheet" If True Then Dim mySheet As AcSmSheet = myItem mySheet.GetCustomPropertyBag.Clear() End If Exit Select End Select Catch ex As Exception End Try End Sub
 
but when i get to "set" the new custom properties (which works normaly when updating a custom property or adding a custom property to a custom propertybag that I have not "cleared"), I am getting a object not set to an instance error...

Do I have to "recreate" the custom propertybag with the InitNew(ByVal pOwner as IAcSmPersist).

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Add Custom Properties To Objects

Aug 13, 2013

Is there any (non programming) solution where I can add custom data/properties to objects in plain AutoCAD?

(I know I can in Civil 3D though, using Notes/Extended Properties etc etc)

We want to allow users to add their own unique ID to all their drawn objects, and we don't want to use Entity Handle as that is not anything we can choose  ;-)

We're using that ID to connect other datasources (ODBC) to Navisworks and we would like it to work even from AutoCAD, even though we have Civil 3D inhouse.

using plain AutoCAD straight out of the box?

AutoCad :: Sheet Set Manager And Custom Properties

Nov 7, 2013

I have a SSM set up with both Sheet Custom Properties and Sheet Set Custom Properties.

When I start a new project, i can populate both areas of the main SSM. I'll create my sheets and have them self populated by the "root" SSM settings (if you will)well now, lets say i need to change the date of the sheets from the past.. to the future submittal date. I set it in the "Sheet Custom Properties" in the "root" SSM and then I have to go to each sheet; right click --> Properties each sheet and change the custom properties.

Basically, is there a way to have the sheets (after created) to automatically update to the new date?

AutoCAD .NET :: Writing Tool To Add Custom Drawing Properties

Jul 20, 2012

I have installed the autocad ObjectARX 2011 and .Net wizzard to start writing a .Net application for adding custom drawing parameters to all our acad drawings.  I have found two issues detailed below.  This is my first attempt at using c# with autocad so any pointers on what I am doing wrong will be well received.

1.  If add the AcDbMgd.dll and AcMgd.dll references and set copy local to false as the documentation advises then I get a FileNotFoundException, could not load file or assembly 'acdbmgd'.  If I set the copy local to true then the error goes away.

2.  I tried using the code below to add a paramater but I get an exception on the first line System.TypeLoadException: Method 'CopyTo'.

Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Databasedatabase = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database;

//Users builder to edit the summary info (file properties) of the drawing

Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder infoBuilder = new Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DatabaseSummaryInfoBuilder(database.SummaryInfo);
string key = "test";
string value = "testvalue";
infoBuilder.CustomPropertyTable.Add(key, value);
database.SummaryInfo = infoBuilder.ToDatabaseSummaryInfo();

AutoCAD .NET :: Deleting Custom Properties Using SheetSet Manager API

Oct 29, 2013

I currently use code similar to Lee Ambrosius's 2009 AU handout that shows how to set/create custom properties. URL.... search for the header 'Adding Sheet Set and Sheet Properties'.

I have now accumulated numerous unused custom properties in my sheet set.  I haven't been able to find a way to delete these additional custom properties.

Because I use multiple subsets with multiple sheets for printing, I would rather not have to go through all the sheets, store all the custom properties I need, destroy all the existing custom properties, and then re-create just the ones I need. how to delete individual custom properties.

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Crash On Custom Properties

Apr 12, 2013

When I try to modify the custom properties for the HP t2300, Autocad C3D 2011 instantly becomes non-responsive and hangs.  After a few seconds, every other open app suffers the same fate.  If I have task manager open to the performance tab, I can see memory use escalating rapidly.  Either I use Taskmanager to kill Acad quickly, or I end up killing the power to the computer and restarting the hard way,

the plotter is set up on the network with separate queues for Postscript and HPGL.  Accessing the PC3 for the PS queues has no problem, it's only the HPGL queue that hangs me up, and only in C3D 2011 (and Civil3d as AutoCAD)

LDT and LDC Map 2009 do not have the problem,. nor does Map3d 2011, and TrueView 2013 is also fine.  All of these are pointing to the same set of PC3, PMP, and CTB files.Other applications do not have any problem getting to the printer properties, just Civil3d 2011..
