AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Mapping Of Waterlines
Jun 5, 2012
I am using civil 3d ver 2011. I have been asked to do a mapping project that will be compatible with ESRI ArcGIS. THe project consists of mapping of waterlines. The only data collected will be waterlines, hydrants, valves. Attributes required would be Size, Depth, Material, NEZ. What is the best way to do this? I know that civil 3d has autocad map built in, but but am not sure how to assign the size, depth, etc to the entities.

I have the attributes and units I want mapped between the shp file and the import wizard but everthing still imports with default values. (like pipe size or elevation.)
The only thing that is correct is the location. I see a few people have reported this but there aren't any solutions.

I am a surveyor in a multi-disciplined office. There has been talk of working in 3d. I have had lots of issues with 3d line work on general projects
For example, when you bring all the points in at elevation, and draw lines between them, we have issues with line patterns and querying distances. How are others handling this, or is there a setting to turn off the z?

I'm having an issue within the DGNIMPORT command related to a mapping setup that only partially maps..
I'm using the DGNIMPORT command in a nearly empty civil3D drawing. I created a mapping setup to map over the levels to layers, the line styles to linetypes and the line weights. The levels successfully become layers, the lineweights are mapped appropriately... but the Linetypes are NOT.
I've attached two screen shots to illustrate the issue. The first shows the window with my mapping setup.
The second shows the 'preview' for the setup (Microstation Linestyles 1,6,7 are sent to continuous instead of to the 3 line types I created for the mapping process...)

When using "convertpstyles" to convert from ctb to stb I am asked to select a stb file. When I do I am given an error that says the color mapping table I have selected does not contain a color mapping table and cannot be used to convert the drawing.

I cant seem to target a corridor FL and keep it linked to the corridor. Is this the expected behavior? I would think you should be able to, no? For that matter I would think you should be able to pick the cooridor link directly, no?

I am looking to draw a large lake that I live on that has 14,000+ islands. I have started drawing small sections by bringing in high quality maps and tracing them using the spline command. Is there a faster way to trace the entire lake.
I want it to be all drawn with closed poly lines so that I am able to laser cut it and apply hatching. Other tracing programs in which I insert a image of the lake and it gives me the CAD format are very inaccurate and a pain to work with.

I have connected to several raster images and they are displaying as required and I've saved this drawing. I've created a new drawing and when the previous drawing is xref'd in the images are not present.

I am having some mapping difficulties with regards to applying a JPEG as a material map onto a surface material. Below are the details.
I have a surface model which was generated from topographical information. I have aerial photography of the area the topographical information is based on. The photography covers approximately 1000m2 area.
The topography area in contained within this area, it is in the upper right hand corner of the square photo. I have applied planar mapping to the surface . I resized the mapping area of the surface to suit the area that the photo covers (I created a boundary rectangle and adjusted the mapping size to suit). I created a customer material using the jpeg photo I applied it to the surface . The image scale is set to 1000 . All other settings remain as default settings.
The mapping displays over my model, but its on the wrong location, i.e. information contained within the jpeg that is out with the topographical area is appearing on the model. When I turn off tiling the mapping disappears from my model completely. I have read a few tutorials today and went back to basics on a few trials by creating blocks and applying the material and scaling it that way. All behave as anticipated. Apart from this.

I would like to use AudoCad 3D to do real time pit geology mapping. I have a AudoCad 3D on a tough which is equipped with Bluetooth. I have a Tremble 5800 rover which is also equipped with blue tooth, and I would like to connect the Tremble with AudoCad so I can see my position in real time while I'm mapping with AudoCad.

I'm using AutoCad 2007. I'm trying to map a simple 2D flat drawing onto a curved surface.
I have a 3D drawing of a very simple curved floor, similar to a skateboard ramp or a photographers infinity curve backdrop. I also have a 2D design. I simply want to drop my 2D drawing onto this curve, so that it follows the geometry of the curve's surface.

I would like to map an image to the face of Inventor part document. Which possibilities Inventor API offers here? I checked out the ColorMapping example but the tessellation of the flat surface is not sufficient to get high resolution image mapped on it. My intention is to attach images to several parts faces within the assembly environment and this as fast as possible since the scene needs to update very quickly.
PS: I use C#.NET.

I have copied a standard "L" to my custom library. Now I would like to map the properties for the CC parts to be like my other parts that are not created in CC. One of the things I need is the "Title" and "Description" iproperty fields need to be the sectional size, i.e. L3x2x3/16, L4x4x3/8....etc.
To do this, I went into the editor and created a column. I mapped this column to Project.Description (see image)
why this does not work? When I create a new part and look at the BOM, I only see "Angled Steel" in the description iproperty field (see image below)
I did the same thing with the "Title" field and the "Project" field. Those work great.... just can't make teh Description field happen.
This is with Inventor 2011.

I'm using AutoCAD Architecture 2012 for interior design. I need to rotate/move some materials, I know how to do it, but after mapping it, when I need to make any drawing modification, the mapped material resets to their default, and not ionly the modificated solid, but everything that I have mapped.
How do I save the mapping coordinates, to avoid the need to map everything everytime?

I am trying to map values to my title block using an autolisp routine. I have entered (getenv "NEXTSHEET") & (getenv "PREVSHEET") into the descriptions fields and mapped these routines to 'NEXT_ATTRNAME' & 'PREV_ATTRNAME' attributes. When I run the title block updates no values appear on my drawing. Please note that I have included the program in my start-up suite. Please also note that when I enter 'NEXTSHEET' or 'PREVSHEET' on the command line, the routines are called and the correct values are shown on the command line. I just need these values to be visible on my drawing. I have attached the Autolisp routine that I am running.

i start in a new position for a new company noticed they have several cuix menu files for blocks such as structural shapes and weld symbols. so i loaded the menus with menuload and map to the directory of the blocks reference in the options files tab, but when i select the menu if has the block mapped to a different drive that does not exist. how can i change it to when i select, for say a w6x9 to map to the correct block on the correct drive instead of mapping it to some s: drive the directory structure is correct but the drive letter is not.

I need to have symbolized linestyles on a number of 3D polylines in mapping data.We normally would simply explode the 3D poly's, and our linestyles display fine.
The linestyles also display fine if we change the 3D polylines to polylines.HOWEVER, with the current dataset we have very high point density on our 3D polylines, and we need to preserve the elevation attributes of the lines.
If we explode the lines we end up with so many tiny segments that they will not display the linestyles - changing the linetype scale eventually will show the style, but at far too small a size to be relevant.
We also, in most of the layers, are not able to change the 3D polylines to polylines - we must preserve the 3D attributes of the lines.So the problem is that we can't explode the 3D polylines, and we can't flatten them either, but we want the linestyles to display.We are using Map3D primarily, but can access C3D if a solution is available there.
The precise scenario is for instance a line which is a top of embankment, but which has points at around 30cm intervals, over a line length of 206m. This particular dataset has several hundred lines like this, and the linestyle we are trying to display is a simple set of repeating ticks off one side of the line.
We are experimenting with weeding the points, but the shape of the lines is being considerably downgraded by this process.at this point we are most likely going to have to present this data without linestyles for these features - not our first choice.

Im putting up my first web page using PS to create the template, my problem though is how do I link things? I mean I get the template all set up and I have these nice words, but its a image how do I go in and link the words to well...links so that they can be put into the viewing window, which is another topic because I havent figured that one out yet either.

I'm having difficulty getting the UVW Map to render like it is shown in the view port. See the link for pictures of my setup.
I've tried messing with the material editor and the UVW Map, but no luck.

If you open a 3d object is it possible to unwrap it to get the uv map? There is no uv map in the layers of an object I am working with. I am using cs5 extended.

Trying to spline map a chacker map onto a simple spline that has been converted to an edit poly using the Unwrap UVW modifier. Here is the process that I went through:
1) Draw line
2) Array a 2nd copy in the exact same place
3) Create radial thickness on the copy under 'Rendering' rollout.
4) Convert to editable poly
5) Apply checker map standard material
6) Add 'Unwrap UVW' modifier
7) Under 'Unwrap UVW' modifier select 'face' sub-object
8) Select 'Spline Mapping' (in 'Wrap' rollout)
9) In 'Spline Map Paramters' dialogue box select '- Pick Spline -'
10) Select original line.
The UVW gizmo should be tightly fitted to the object with the checker map nicely mapped following along the spline but instead I'm getting a huge UVW gizmo and horrible mapping (see first attachment).
The second attachment shows what I'm trying to achieve. Also.. it works fine when the spline is very large. Is this due to my system units being set to meters?

I have got some problem with the UV map. I tried 2 method: use Flatten mapping on the whole object, and the other: separete the UV parts manual with Projection, and this work correct, but when i go far with the camera the UV shape will be visible. I want to use my model for a game and it will be more visible.

So I finally made my own alpha map to simple shapes look like strands of hair. Only problem is when I use Iray and I learn that it won't render the alpha and I'm left with a render of the original shapes. Is there anyway to work around this?
I want to keep Iray, I can't give up that rendering power.But on the other hand I want to use hair without having to use anything that will eat at my computer's performance (so no hair and fur modifier or anything particle system unless it can be utilized easier)

I found a solution to my objects being rendered incomplete by adjusting the perspective angle by a degree or two but this didn't solve my problem of the graphic map being incomplete.
Basically I'm making labels for different sized bottles (i.e. wine, beer and sake)the wine worked so far but for some reason this sake bottle's label wouldn't complete rendering.I dunno if it is because the side of the bottle is slightly angled or what but I cannot get it to complete the image map.

For quite a while I have been using the Photoshop HDR for initial processing of my HDR shots. My workflow is to "open in HDR Pro in Photoshop" from Lightroom. With LR 3.x and CS5 there was no problem - make the initial tonemapping settings in CS5, hit "OK", and save the resultant TIF back to lightroom for further processing.
With LR 4.1 I do the same thing, the files import into CS6 and the tonemapping window comes up, but after I hit OK in the tonemapping window, the resultant tonemapped TIF file is oversaturated(This still in CS6). It needs about 30 points of saturation reduction in LR to get it back to what it showed in the tonemapping window.
I have colour gamut set for Pro Photo RGB in both LR and PS. I can show some screen captures later.
