Jun 14, 2013I have gone thtough alot of articles here on how to create an alignment from 3D polyline. Most of them talk about creating a profile by creating a surface. But in my case I have a 400km 3d polyline that represents the pipeline centerline. I need to create an alignment showing slack (3D) chainages. Which means I need to create alignment from the 3D polyline. Is there any way to do that?

Jan 24, 2013About 6 years ago some people in the Land Desktop group were complaining about not being able to move the text in a linetype so as not to obscure other entities.
how I went about it and a drawing showing an example. Drawing is 2012.
I don't say this is going to replace linetype. I'm also going to see if there's a better way of doing this with Civil Objects. But I've wanted to figure this out for a while and had some down time today. So this is for you to play with if you want. I was looking at my Undocumented Commands file and that reminded me of it since this done with un(or little)documented commands.
If you open the drawing. Select one of the magenta circles (nodes) in the center of the text to activate grips. Select a triangular grip and use it to slide the text along the polyline.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Changing Alignment Direction Where Feature Line And Alignment Coincide?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Data Reference Alignment Stationing Differs From Original Alignment
May 3, 2012I using a data reference/shortcut to properly label an alignment in paperspace. However when I reference the alignment in and apply the labels the aren't the same as the original alignment that I am referencing. Is there a setting where I am supposed to apply a new beginning station.
Also it seems as though the stationing(distance) isn't even matching up 1:1 with the original drawing. For example in the original base drawing my alignment starts at 10+00 with the next PI at 14+76.98, but the stationing on the reference alignment starts at 0+83.33 with the very same PI being labeled as 1+23.08. So the very same distance is 476.98' in the real design and the drawing it's being referenced in, but the stationing of the referenced alignment shows it as 39.75 Units.
I've attached a screen of the beginning of the alignment.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Alignment Label Style Set After Alignment Has Been Created?
Jul 18, 2013Using Civil 3d2012, Is it possible to change the alignment label style set after the alignment has been created? For example, for an alignment that was created with alignment label set X - change the label set to alignment label set Y? It seems like this should be pretty easy, I must be missing something obvious.

Apr 6, 2013I have a question on Alignment PI's. (Point of Inflection/Intersection)I have an alignment where some PI's have curves, others are merely hard bends.
Is there a way to automatically label the PI's even if they have an associated curve? (I'd like PI, PC and PT)Alternatively, can I only show markers at PI's without curves?

I’m wondering if there is a way to launch alignment grid view/alignment entities (attached) without the need to first launching “alignment”? This dialogue box is quite essential in editing the values of radius, degree of curvature and deflection angle for the selected curve.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Begin Station Inherited From Another Alignment
Aug 8, 2012Can I inherit the station from one alignment as the begin station for another alignment?
For example. Alignment 1 is 1000 ft long and starts at sta 0+00.
At sta 8+01, Alignment 2 begins and goes off in another direction.
I manually enter 8+01 for begin station Alignment 2. Life is good. Still in the design stage, and customer needs to modify Alignment 1 to avoid something. Now Alignment 2 intersects Alignment 1 at sta 8+15, but same N/E coordinates.
I manually enter 8+15 for begin station Alignment 2.
It would be better if Alignment 2 could inherit the begin station based on the new stationing from Alignment 1.

Also I need to mantain the same distance between the vertices on the new poly and the new and reference poly won't follow the same direction.

Jul 14, 2011So the problem I am having is when I try join lines and/or make a polyline. I am trying to model an electron lens and have all the measurement and angles correct but Autocad does not want to allow me to join the lines so that I can make a 3D model for export. When it does allow me to join all the line or make a polyline, the lines are not straight. Granted I have to zoom in to see the deviation in the line but my connecting lines are not orthogonal like they should be. Here is a picture of what I am trying to make.

View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCad 2D :: Creating Road Centerline To Make Into Alignment
Jul 20, 2012So today I was creating a road centerline to make into an alignment. The road has many curves. So I was making circles and connecting them with lines while snapping from tangent to tangent. So far, so good.
Went I go to trim the circles using the lines I drew tangent to tangent, it says that there are no intersecting edges. WTF? When I zoom way in, the line is not touching the circle. Now, I know that visually that is NBD. When I run a distance check, snapping from endpoint to perpendicular, there is a measurement of zero. UGH!
So to get work done I've been having to break the circle and the 2 points, then erase the rest. This is such a PITA and I've never had anything like this happen.
P.S. I'm running Civil 3D 2013.
The top line is the circle, the bottom is the line tangent to it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get An Alignment By Name
Mar 20, 2012I am looping through the civilapplication.activedocument's alignmentIDs collection and looking to see if the name of the alignment is the one I want.
Is there a more direct way, where I could use the name like
doc.GetAlignmentId("somename")?
maybe GetAlignmentIds() is only way to access the align collection though,

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Dimension Along Polyline
Jun 21, 2012I want to dimension along a curvy polyline. I don't want to station it like a centerline. It is for pavement marking dimensions in a curvy road and I want to show the total length of turn lane lines while they go through an s-surve. I could draw the dimensions manually and have in the past. For the contractor, I would simply station and offset it, but it makes it easier for the reviewer to see total turn lane, taper and lane shift lengths, rather than having to calculate them from station and offset callouts.

I know i have the right alignmentId, it all cheaks out, there must be something I have to do after removing from the ID collection.
I am doing a Tr.Commit(); but that does not seem to be good enough.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Comes Up Short
Nov 13, 2012I have a project that comes and goes. It was actually started in Softdesk. Right now I'm working in Civil 3D 2012. I have an alignment that represents the left edge of pavement. Although I'm calling an offset alignment. It was created before they existed. So it's not linked to the centerline. There have been many changes to it over the past few years. Now it has a problem.
I wanted to edit in the Panorama. Right-click > Edit Alignment Geometry > select Alignment Grid View from the Alignment Layout Tools. When I went to the last segment in the Gird View, which was near where I wanted to edit, a segment about two thirds of the way along the Alignment was highlighted. Further investigation showed that although the whole Alignment would highlight when selected, all commands said the Alignment ended much sooner than the end station.
I've found that that alignment has been broken for quite a while but was intact at one time. My question is - What's the best way to repair/recreate it. I know I can explode it and create a replacement Alignment from the resulting entities. But is that the best way?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Alignment Name Cap Style
Oct 24, 2012This is strange. I wanted to label just the alignment name in a couple of places. I have an Alignment Name Label Style that does this. I now notice that it will capitalize some of the lower case P's in the curve label. Not the line label just the curve. They're applying the same style. It also changes back to lower case if I drag the label.
The style has one component and that is the Alignment Name and has Preserve Case set.
