AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point / Label Styles To Show Trees On Survey Plan

Apr 20, 2013

I am trying to set-up point and point label styles to show trees on a survey plan. The point styles is set with a block, and a label is a regular label style that shows a point number and elevation. The problem comes when the label is positioned outside of the block that represents the point. What I need is sort of fixed offset from the center of the point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Survey Data Default Point Group Styles

May 3, 2012

When you use the Import Survey Data wizard it automatically creates a point group that goes to the top of the list. This used to be created with a standard point style and description, but something has changed and I'm getting a different symbol and label that I definitely don't want as the default. I would think that this would be controled by the CreatePointGroup settings, but that isn't working for me. I can't find any other settings that would override or control this.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Create Two Point Styles For One Point

Dec 19, 2013

I am trying to get point 1234 to show a label that says Point #1234 and then in a grading plan have that same point show up as a spot elevation.  I have tried making two point groups "Point #" and "Spot Grades" which include the same points in them with two different label styles for each group, however the point seems to only want to take one label style at a time.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Plan Production - Layers And Styles On Sheets

May 14, 2013

I'm using the Plan Production feature of Civil3D 2012 (x64). Here's my scenario:

I have a base file with all company style and layer standards. I have an alignment and profile in this base file, which I am creating sheets for (plan and profile, same sheet). I create my VFG and generate the sheets from this base file. My sheet template creation .dwt file only has a couple layers in it (nice and clean).

Is it normal behavior for the sheet files being created to have ALL the company layers and styles associated with the base drawing where the VFG and sheets were created from? I would think only the layers/styles used for the alignment, profile, and profile view would be transferred to each sheet.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Turn Off End Alignment Label In Plan?

Jun 27, 2012

I am working in C3D 2011. The end station on my alignment is 163+02. The last major station label is 163+00. The label text overlap. I want to turn off the end label of 163+02. The end station is not checked in my Alignment Style or in the Geometry Points style. I am assuming there is a command in the Settings/Alignment/Commands that is overriding the changes I have made in individual styles. I have found some post concerning this from 2004 but they do not seem to be applicable in 2011.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Point Database

Mar 6, 2012

How are you or your company managing points as in field shots, storage, dulplicate point numbers?

are you using vault?
are you using the point database?
are you using one drawing file to import and store the points?

what we are doing now is using the point database as a storage location but it fails for notification on when a point # is duplicated.

surveys has a drawing file they use to import, store and build the existing ground surface from the points. this allows the notification of when a  point  number is duplicated. but it is not as secure or flexable as the old LDD way.

We don't use field books just text files from the collectors imported in. Vault is not an option for us. (at this time)

so what i am looking for is how others are adapting to this change, and what worked or not.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Plan Production Explode Label Orientation

Is there a way to do run AECObjExplode so the labels stay oriented to my view frame and sheets in paper space?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Add If / Then Statements To Label Styles

Jan 2, 2014

I am specifically working with the Section Major Offset lable. The City of Dallas wants the lable to call out the Offset distance and direction over the elevation (example "30.0' LT."). Since zero has not offset direction the label reads "0.0' T." at the center point. Is there a way to include an if/then statement in the label style to remove the hard coded text?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can Copy Label Styles

Jun 3, 2013

I have been creating copies of various line label styles. In my toolspace where I have them listed and I can view the styles in the tree, some of the new ones I have created are a sub-base below the ones I used to copy them from (there is a plus sign next to them and the new style is below the plus sign), and others that I copied do not have a plus sign next to them. How I even did this, but I would like them all consistent, because these are part of my base template drawings.....

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Point Data

Apr 16, 2012

Is there a way to "data shortcut" information imported from a data file into multiple drawings?  If so, is there a way to lock the data points "in place" and not be able to adjust the point location/elevation, but allow the movement the text information around within the drawing.

The goal is to have multiple drawings with these data points and be able to move the text information from the style, but not (in a million years) be able to move the data point itself.  There may be multiple drawings with these points located within them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: ETransmit And Survey Point Symbols

Jun 13, 2013

Converting files from Civil 3D 2013 to AutoCAD 2007. We are currently trying to utilize ETRANSMIT to share drawing files with our clients. When going through the command we choose "AutoCAD 2007 Drawing Format w/ Exploded AEC Objects"

This seems to work for everything except for the survey symbols. All of the linework, xrefs, labels and drefs come in fine when opening in LDD 2009. However upon closer inspection, we have no symbols: tress, power poles, gas meters, etc.

Sharing our files with a utility company becomes impossible without these symbols. Is there anything we can try?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Unable To Add Survey Point Manually

Survey database is open for edit, drawing displays survey points and figures from imported survey data files. When I try to use _AeccCreatePointManual, after selecting a location, entering a description and elevation, no point is created. The command appears to complete and gives no error but no point shows up in the drawing or survey database. Default layer is <use current>.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Point Extended Data

Jul 5, 2012

I am wondering if it's possible to have a point code automatically add data to a user-defined field either in the survey database or in a drawing.  For instance, our surveyors currently will code a catch basin as CB INV2.2 if it has an invert depth of 2.2'.  I have a survey point user-defined property called InvertDepth.  Is it possible to get the survey database to automatically add 2.2 to that user-defined property or does that have to be manually input?  I have an expression and a label style that will take the elevation shot and subtract the depth number to give me the invert elevation on a lable, but I'd like to see if this can be done automatically without having to manually type in the depth on every point that is a catch basin or other inlet.

I've looked into the description key-set's parameters, but they seem to be mostly for display purposes and writing a full description.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Multiple Codes At 1 Survey Point?

Aug 2, 2012

It is my understanding that C3D will only display the first point when there's more than 1 code for a survey point.

My first thought was to copy the line in the PENZD txt file and edit so that there's only 1 code listed. I tried appending the point number with "A" and ".1" without luck I assume I would need to use the next available point number.

An example of my txt file is:

17371,298429.877,568639.651,801.030,LPM SGN     This produces only the light pole symbol and not the sign.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Copy Styles Not Working In Plan Production Create Sheets?

Oct 16, 2013

I'm currently doing some testing of 2014 SP1 and noticed the Copy Styles routine when creating Plan Production Sheets doesn't seem to function as it did in 2012?

Using 2014 SP1, I data referenced a Pipe Network into a Plan Prod. sheet that was created before the Pipe networks were created. After data referencing the first Pipe Network into the plan sheet, I tried to label my pipes and structures, noticed none of our custom styles got copied (during create sheets command) into the sheet?

In 2012 they did.We have a lot of these Plan Production dwt's here and it's going to be a major PITA if all Plan Production.dwt's will need to have all Styles within them.

The nice thing about the way it used to work is the styles only needed to be maintained in a couple base.dwt's.

In addition to these Pipe & Structure label styles missing the list goes on throughout the Settings tab. Only present styles seem to be of "in use" nature such as pfl style, Alignment style, pfl view style etc. where the sheet creation process pulled specific information into the sheet dwg from source dwg.

Also did a quick test of our 2012 configuration and majority of , if not all, styles from source dwt do get copied over eliminating the need for them within the Plan Production dwt's. 2012 SP3 used here.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Blocks In Line Label Styles

Feb 15, 2012

I have a line label style that consists of two blocks (crowsfeet). The blocks are taking on the properties of the current layer when xrefed. I have enclosed a couple of drawings to show this behavior.

Open the "crowsfeet sheet" drawing. You will notice the crowsfeet are green.

Change the current layer and regen. The crowsfeet will change to the color of the current layer.

To take this one step further:

Freeze the current layer in the current viewport. The crowsfeet disappear.

Change the current layer. The crowsfeet reappear with the color of the current layer.

The objects in the blocks are on layer 0 with a color of bylayer. Changing the color to byblock produced the same results.

The only workaround I found was to change the color of the objects in the block to something other than bylayer or byblock.
