AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Line Work Through Database

Dec 13, 2013

C3D 2012 SP 4
Win 7 Pro

Can I have combination raw descriptions on one shot?  Example: bc1 e sw1 st

where I am ending the back of curb shot and beginning a sidewalk at the same point.

If I start linework with a curve, 3 shots, Example: ea1 pc, ea1, ea1 pt

Do I need a an extra shot (tangent) preceeding ea1 pc to get the curve to draw correctly?, or can I use

ea1 pc, ea1, ea1 pt to draw the curve?

Or do I have to envoke the st (begin) like this, ea1 pc st, ea1, ea1 pt

How does C3D handle reverse curves? Is ea1pc, ea1, ea1pc, ea1, ea1 pt the correct sequence fro drawing a reverse curve?

In a situation where a symbol is needed in a combination shot, the code for the symbol is first, then the linework, correct? Example: sanmh ss1 st

where a sanmh symbol and a line draw for ss1 (sanitary sewer line) are the same point.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rotate Survey Database To Platted Line Bearing

Sep 9, 2013

I am attempting to rotate my Survey database to my platted line bearing. I calculate out the angle of rotation around my section corner (in my case 0.0641) and when I apply the translate survey data, it rotates it at a much larger scal than specified (1.5236). I have also tried by "pick in drawing" to specify rotation without much luck.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Import Survey Data Using TXT File - Comment Line Out

Aug 20, 2012

I am importing survey data using a .txt file. In that file there are a few lines that I don't want C3D to read. Is there some character I can put at the beginning of the line so that it won't read or give me an error? In some other programs I have seen # or : used to do this.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Convert Figure To Feature Line - Export Survey Figures To Genio?

Sep 12, 2013

I have a client who uses Bently MX Roads for road design and requires that survey data be supplied in GENIO format. I realise that there are many possible options to get Civil3D survey data into MX, but I am trying to explore the use of the Subscription Extension to Import/Export GENIO.

Surfaces - no problem. Points - I see how I can get that to work. But the only linework that can be exported is Feature Lines, and it is also important that the feature lines have a name (likely related to the layer it is on).

I can convert survey figures to feature lines and name them one by one but would be very time consuming for a whole survey. Is there any way of doing all figures at once?

I'm guessing not and that it is probably easier to do the Genio creation from dwg in MX itself.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Unlock The Locked Survey Data In Survey Databases

Nov 19, 2013

I copied some Survey Data of AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 for Surveyors to my C3D 2013 machine few weeks ago. Now I cannot do the "Import point file" of the Survey2 Data B in Survey Databases, because the Survey2 Data B is locked up - see the attached file that has a red circle with an arrow on.  How I can unlocked the locked Survey 2 Data in the Survey Databases.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figures Don't Match Survey Points

May 3, 2012

here's my process:

1- Import the asc file into my drawing.

2- Convert the asc file to a FBK file

3- Import my FBK file.  The survey figure linework generated doesn't overlay my previously imported asc file.  I checked the FBK file and the coord's match the asc file.  I'm confused as to why the survey figures don't overlay the survey points from the asc file, since the coords match in both?  The survey figures are all shifted .7' and 54deg. from the points.  The elevations are all good on the survey figures, as they match the survey points.

So my quick fix is to explode the survey figures, since I don't really need them for what I'm doing, and then select all the 3d polylines and move them to them to an appropriate survey point.  Everything then looks fine and I can get the job done.

However, I would like some insight as to why this might be happening.  It's strange that the FBK and asc coordinates match, but the survey figures aren't lying over them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linking Blocks To Text

Mar 14, 2012

I'm currently working with AutoCAD Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion.  The drawing has hundreds of callouts for different elements all over the site.  The callouts are in form of a block, with a number inside. The number corresponds to a notes page which lists each detail in chronological order. (nothing new there)

Due to an expanding and shifting job site, notes have been added and deleted.  The problem is now we have to go back through and update all the callout blocks.  For example: We have 75 notes in our list, if note number 3 changes or is deleted, we need to go through and change all the numbers in all the blocks to reflect the change to the list.

Is there a way to link blocks to an mtext list? or possibly a spreadsheet?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linking Parcels To EXCEL

Apr 4, 2012

Create a large number of polygons (plines, parcels, whatever) that represent spaces on a building plan

Assign a space number to the polygon

Link the space number to an Excel spreadsheet (or Access DB) so that the characteristics of the polygon (line and fill color, for example) are chosen based on the "owner" of the space (e.g.; Engineering, Common Areas, etc.).

Display a label stating the space number and the space name. Is this best done with "Parcels" in Civ3D, or with "Polygons" in Map, or some other way.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Linking A Dwg To Another Dwg For Updating Styles And Layers

Feb 12, 2013

I am using Civil3D 2013. I was wondering if there was a way to link your dwg to a master dwg file? For example, if i were to copy the dwg into folder A and copy a dwg into folder B. I would then update the master dwg with either a layer color change or linetype or add a layer / label etc, could those changes from the master be (linked) or a child or the parent master dwg? Or does this work with dwts?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Getting TDS RAW Survey Attributes Into It?

Dec 15, 2010

We process survey data using Attributes to add extra intelligence and reduce errors.

For example, when shooting trees, the RAW file will contain something like this:

SS,OP 50,FP1299,AR308.2057,ZE91.0918,SD128.282,--TREE
FC,PN1299,FNTREE
AT,TNSZ,TV11.0
AT,TNTY,TVMAPLE

or when shooting a street sign:

SS,OP 50,FP1437,AR324.1135,ZE91.4728,SD123.235,--SIGN
FC,PN1437,FNSIGN
AT,TNTY,TVNO PARKING

The FC code sets up that attribute information will follow for the point number indicated by PN and the FN is basically explaining the name of the feature type. On the collector, this is all menu driven, making for few data entry errors.

The AT codes list the attributes name TN and then the TV reports its value.

Is there a way to preserve these attributes and their data when processing them into an FBK? Ideally, they would need to become part of a point description.

When processing this for that "other" CADD package, I am able to use these values in building labels for my survey points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Creating EG From Survey?

Mar 15, 2013

I was curious what the basic workflow is for creating an EG from a survey.  The catch is that we don't have a point file or elevated points on the drawing.  The drawing is just that a drawing with spot elevations and linework.  The lot is 100' long and 30' wide.  An existing house takes up most of the lot with a street on the front and back.  The idea is to try making a grading plan after I figure this first part out.  Where would I begin with something like this to figure out the next step of grading a small lot?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can't Add New Survey Network

Aug 18, 2009

I was following Civil 3D 2008 Education Curriculum Module 04-Survey on how to import field books, create points and figures, insert them into the drawing, and then (per page 04-35), remove the network from the drawing.

Now I have a serious problem, and cannot add any new Networks. The "Name" and "Description" appears, but there is no place for a cursor entry.

Do I have to re-install the program?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Grading Objects From Curb Lines - Linking?

Oct 12, 2011

I have been creating grading objects from my curb lines, assigning grades using the editor, then offsetting that line for the BACK of curb, and using the raise-lower command to raise the curb line height. If I edit the original face of curb line (gutter grade) then I go back and redo the process. Is there any way to intelligently link these two lines so that if one gets edited C3D knows the other is 0.5 feet higher (or lower) than its neighbor?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Database Coordinates Off

Feb 23, 2012

i have a point file specifically a PNEZD file. when i import points into the survey database the coordinate in the database is correct but the coordinate on the drawing tends to be 5 feet off one way and 1 foot off the other. When I import point through the points pull-down menu the coordinates are correctly shown. When I import point into survey database from drawing the coordinate is incorrect in the database but correct on screen.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: All Survey Databases Are Locked

Apr 23, 2012

My company has upgraded to new computers recently (Windows 7, Civil 3d 2012).  Some of the new computers are unable to access ANY survey database for edit.  They can be opened read only, but the option of opening for edit isn't even available.  The old computers we have CAN open the same databases for edit.  We have attempted repairing/reinstalling, but to no avail.  All the new computers were cloned from 1 original.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Working With 2D Survey Drawing?

May 6, 2012

I'm exploring the option of going from normal autocad and PDS (for our road designs) to fully using Civil 3D 2013.

Generally we only recieve a survey drawing as a 2d cad file with height points represented as 2d text.

In PDS all we need do is 'convert text to point' and create a ground model, this gives us a 3d ground mesh to work with.

In Civil 3d i've found 'movetexttoelevation' but now i'm stuck with adding a point at the node of the text object, and then I need to creat a surface model to overlay a 2d siteplan andstart creating our roads.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Rotating Survey Points

Jul 25, 2013

I had an issue where I dropped points into my drawing for a survey and they weren't at the distance compared to recorded plat. I have checked the points mathematically, and they were dead on. A coworker suggested that I WBLOCK the points I was working with that way I don't move single points out of place. I disagreed, because the way i move points is I use the TOOLSPACE and move them as a group. So what I did was to drop the points again and now they were dead on the second time. I don't like turning points into a block due to the fact that it messes up my drawing.

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 :: Delete Survey Database

Jan 19, 2010

I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010. I am a new user and just going through some tutorials and created a couple of survey databases for practice. The problem I am having is I can't figure out how to delete them. When I exit Civil 3D and restart it, those databases are still there under the survey tab in Toolspace even though I haven't even opened a drawing yet. Also, do I need MS Access installed on my workstation to run any functions within Civil 3D?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Survey Figure With Bad Elevations?

Jun 29, 2012

I have a survey figure that no matter what will not come in with the correct elevations, its a spline (continous) curve that the elevations get blow up on.

Only thing I can think of is the when it starts to interpolate the curve it cant get the elevations correct, this only happens in the curved area, once it goes tangent everything goes back to normal.
