AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Overwriting Points Importing Fieldbook

Jan 4, 2013

We're moving [slowly, painfully] from LDD to Civil 2012. When importing a survey fieldbook in LDD, my method has always been to "clean up" the fieldbook during the import. Rather than search through the fieldbook text file manually, I'll let the import process find the duplicate, overwritten points, or errant linecodes, and then exclamate them or change them in the fieldbook and, if necessary, reimport the fieldbook. Figures and breaklines use the initial coordinate, for instance, so sometimes a reimport is (was) necessary.

So our survey crews "overwrite" points in the field for bad rod heights, angles, descriptions, etc... During the LDD import process that point number is flagged and I am given the option to overwrite/average/etc.... In Civil 3D I seem to be stuck with an average of the two observations, and I'm not even alerted about which point numbers come from these "multiple observations." So I've no idea without sifting through the often substantial list of point numbers which points have duplicate data connected to them.

I've combed through the import options and I just don't see what I'm looking for, which, in a phrase, is to be alerted when there are duplicate numbers in the fieldbook.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Fieldbook Importing - Convert Raw Into FBK

May 22, 2012

I am working with our surveyor to import fieldbook file into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012.  To convert raw into fbk I used the Survey Data Collection Link. I get a error message during the conversion "Bad raw data line at line 10. Unable to continue. Line:BK,OP7,BP563,BS".

I am assuming the problem is no value is set for the back sight azimuth. I went and edited the raw file giving the back sight azimuth a value of 0 and the program successfully converted the file to fbk format.

I've created a new database, and import events. When importing the created field book file I get an error at line 12 "Error: you must occupy a point first." Is there something missing in the raw or fbk file that is causing this error?

Here is the original raw file and the converted fbk file.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing Points Using Depths From OGL

May 14, 2012

We have a points file to create a "bottom of peat level" surface.  The only problem is, along with the X and Y, it only gives us the distance from OGL, not the actual Z Elevation at each point.  How do we import these into C3D to create a surface?  We have a topo survey for the whole site, so we have and EG surface.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing Points From External Project

May 1, 2013

When I import points from an external project point database (LDD) which I do quite often to import points from 2008 to Civil 3d it works fine for me, but when a co-worker tries doing it from the same exact drawing just a different computer it does not work. Whe he tries to do it, a red "X" appears telling him there is some kind of error. VERY strange and I have no clue why????

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Importing Points Under Prospector Or Survey Tab

Apr 12, 2012

I was wondering what is the difference between importing points under the Prospector tab versus importing points under the Suvey tab? And how either of the two methods relate to using Data Shortcut?

I would like to create a survey topo drawing that contains points and surface information which other Design drawings that are attached to the Data Shortcut project can access but not be able to make any changes to the original points and existing surface information.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Points Not Importing Per Description Key Code Set?

Jul 13, 2012

I am building a new template for our office and just finished building my Description Key Code Set, and Figure Prefix Database.  I stopped to do a quick trial run on one of our surveying files, but when I imported the file all of the figure lines imported correctly but the points all came in the default point style and label style.  I went to the Settings Tab/Points/Commands and made sure my "Disable Description Keys" was set to False.  This is not my first template and I have never had this issue before.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Choose Projection On Importing Points

Aug 9, 2012

I have a .dwg file with an AT-LCC projection assigned to it. There are some .shp files connected to it.

Can I choose the projection of to-be-imported-points when I import some laserscan-files in ASCII format? So I can tell AutoCAD: these points are in MGI-AT.AUT-Central/GK projection, please convert them to my desired projection.

There is a method which takes much too long:

open a new document assign the origin-projection (here; MGI-AT.AUT-Central/GK) to the fileimport the pointsexport the points as .shp file, define a projection-system conversion to target projection (here: AT-LCC)open the file with the target projection assigned to it (here: AT-LCC)import the .shp file

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Blocks Don't Show When Importing Points?

Jul 11, 2013

Our Surveyor created the Point Styles and description keys for processing our field work. These were incorporated in our template. Yesterday he brought in field work an noticed that only a few of the symbols incorporated into the markers came in.

The blocks exist in the drawing but when you go to edit the point marker only 8 out of 152 blocks show in the window below "Use AutoCAD BLOCK symbol for marker". I tried a backup of that template from 5 months ago and got the same results. I've verified that the blocks still exist in the drawing both by listing them and exploring them in Design Center. If I try other templates the window shows all the blocks.

I have tried Audit and Recover with no improvement. Thirteen errors fixed but the blocks still don't show. Additionally I found a backup of the template from Feb., 2013 and get the same problem but the lack of blocks only just occurred.

This is an example showing the depleted block list:

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Group When Importing Survey Points?

May 23, 2013

Sometimes when i import points Civil 3d creates a Point group in the drawing with the name of the point file, sometime it does not. I prefer when it does create this point group. It always seems to create a Survey Point Group. How do i control wether or not a point group is created in the import?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Change Coordinate Systems While Importing Points

Nov 3, 2012

I want to know why I can't change coordinate of points while importing points from Points menu?

I created new file, assigned any coordinate system to the model. Opened Import points windows there, created new file format which there I assigned Coordinate zone transform to the coordinate system of the text file and imported my text file. But the coordinates of points didn't changed or transformed. When I do it by Survey in Toolspace its works good. I want to know whether I did any wrong or it is problem of software.

I use AutoCADCivil 2013 64 bit in Windows 7 64 bit!

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Points Disappear After Importing Field Books

Feb 7, 2013

I’ve run into an issue with importing survey data using field books. 

I started by importing my primary control using a field book.  There were no issues with importing these points.  I then proceeded to import subsequent field books with additional control and then topographic mapping.  In the last field book some points were accidentally overwritten due to an error in the field collection.  No error message was given to let me know the survey points were in use and being overwritten.  Luckily I caught the error before I proceeded to the next field book. 

I tried to reimport the field book that originally created the points that were overwritten.  At that point C3D told me that the points being occupied in the field book did not exist.  I checked the point list for the primary control field book under the "Import Events" in the Survey Tab of the Toolspace and indeed the points in question were no longer listed.

I then proceeded to reimport all the field books in order, starting with the primary control.  I got through several of field books before C3D again told me the point being occupied did not exist.  This despite the fact that this same point was occupied in previous field books.  After trying once again I was able to get through the field books.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Publish Command And Overwriting PDF Files?

Aug 8, 2013

With Autocad 2013 we have found an unconsistant problem with overwriting PDF files with same name.  This only happens with publish command (ie, can just plot 1 layout to pdf and overwrite no problem).  The funny thing is, it doesn't happen all the time - just 50% of the files (and yes, the file is not in use when attempting to overwrite).

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2011 - Overwriting / Modifying Control Point?

Feb 2, 2012

We have been processing/adjusting our field control observations in an outside program (Star-net) and then importing the control into our C3D Database through an import event (PNEZD File). Once the control has been imported we import our field data (.fbk file) through an import event as well. The problem that we are having is once you process a .fbk that uses one of those control points it "locks" the control point, so the next day when we get another field download and the control is re-adjusted, we can't update the control points in the C3D Database.

The only way we have found to get our newly adjust control into the C3D Database is too delete all of the "import events" that use the control point and then import our new control. This is a HUGE hassle.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Large Surface - Converting Points To Cogo Points

Mar 5, 2013

I have a large surface (over 1.5 million points and 20 000hectares)

I need to get a point file .csv from the TIN to be able to use it in another program.

-so i've extracted the points from my surface, but they are Autocad points.

-next step is to convert them to civil 3d points.

-I can not select them all when converting them or my computer crashes.

-so i select about 25 000 at a time, the converting takes roughly 10 minutes.

and i have over 1.5 million points to do.

how can i speed this up.

will more ram useful?

AutoCAD Map 3D :: Importing ASCII Points

Feb 27, 2013

Sitka 1/3 arc-second DEM is the page for the source of the .asc file.

I downloaded the rather large (190 mb) zipped file of a large ASCII file with a few extra things (readme, metadata, report)

I followed this how-to document.

And I get the error message "Cannot set the column 'Name'. The value violates the MaxLength limit of this column." And then nothing at all happens.  No data imported.

Also, if I can't find the coordinates they assigned to the Ascii and I choose one I always use for this area, could that be the problem?

And I'l attach a photo of the 'preview' screen before I get before the error message.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Designating Points As Control Points

Aug 17, 2012

I have a couple points that were part of an import event (data from a previous project) which I want to assign as control points for an incoming traverse, is there any way to assign those as control points?  I can't seem to find a way to do that other than perhaps re-importing the specific points as control points and overwriting the existing ones.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Moving Points Out Of All Points Group?

Apr 10, 2013

I have a project that was started by leaving all the survey data inside the "All Points" group.  So, I'm concerned that when I enter my as built survey points, that even if I put them into their own group, that the original surface will still look at them and just rebuild to my asbuilt data, effectively cancel out the purpose of the asbuilt survey.  Will this happen? 

I want to take the original points and put them into a group of their own, but I don't know if that will affect anything or not?  I have several wetlands already designed on that surface with volume calcs already done too. 

What should I do?
