AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Printing & Network Latency
Oct 28, 2013
I have an issue where we print a set of drawings from SSM and a couple of the drawings (not the complete set) had detail call outs with hashtags where the field didn't update.
This is with the FIELDEVAL setting for these drawings at 31. You can open that drawing and print it and the callouts populate fine. I had another user in the same office try and print the drawings 2 weeks later and the callouts populated.
I tried right after that (I am in a different office 45 miles away) and the callouts didn't populate. I"m thinking this has got to be some type of network latency issue because it's very sporadic.

Me and some fellows at work have been noticing a significant increase in the time it takes to copy with base point and paste into a different drawing file. Maybe it is just the 2012 version of the software , what has changed or how to minimize the time this takes. I don't see any reason it should take up to a minute to copy a few polylines from one drawing to the next.

I am using Civil 3D 2013. I work in an office where we have a few different flavors of Autocad (LT, MEP, regular vanilla AutoCAD etc...) and versions (2010 LT, 2011, 2012, 2013).
For the most part there isn't much inter-office drawing coordinate that has to happen, but there is the occasional project where multiple disciplines (Structural, Mechanical and Civil Site) have to share drawings.
The specific problem I am having is when I share my 2013 Civil 3D drawing with a user using 2011 MEP. He gets the typical rectangle for the proxy objects (in my case, my pipe networks for sanitary and storm drain). We've tried downloading and installing various object enablers, but there doesn't seem to be one for a 2013 to 2011 scenario. So I setup my parts to be on layers that he can just turn off. HOWEVER... the actual pipe network (not the structures, parts, labels etc... the network itself) ends up on layer 0. For this specific project, I do the old (ssget "x" '((8 . "0")) search to select all objects on layer 0, add those objects to a selection set (pselect), then in my modify objects dialog I filter for pipe networks, then change the layer to something other then 0.
While this is a workaround that works for me, what I really want to know is if there is a way that I can change the default layer that the network (again, not pipes, structures or text, the actual network) so I don't have to use the workaround. Any thoughts?
P.S. It's killing me that I had to create a new Autodesk login and now all my AutoCAD "street cred" is lost

I have a HP DesignJet 110 nr connected as a network printer. I have all the drivers updated including the network card. I have unistalled and reinstalled all the drivers and software. I have also replaced the ink cart. too. When I print in AutoCAD 2011 it acts like it is printing stuff, but it goes throught the whole process and nothing prints. I just started creating PDFs and sending them to the printer, but thought I would give it a new shot.

I cannot get my program to print to any of our network printers. I am using Autocad 2013 LT with FusionWare and Windows 7 on a Macpro OSX Lion. This started being a problem a few weeks ago and the only way I can get anything printed is to make a pdf and and then print the pdf from Acrobat.
Today I brought in a HP 940c printer from home and connected it to my desktop printer. I spent an hour uninstalling and installing the drivers. I can now print from Acrobat on both the PC and Mac sides of the computer, but when I try it from Autocad I get Error_Printing in the HP printer window. No info as to what the error might be. I tried this several times, tried renaming the file with a shorter name but since the driver puts in the entire path that was a futile gesture.
So I have confirmed that the printer is functioning correctly, just not with Autocad. I realize that i do have a working workaround but it is tedius and unnecessay to keep making all those pdfs.

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?

After spending at least 15 minutes on this subject, I don't see an easy way to set up a PVC pressure network. Do we have to re-invent the wheel?

I'd like to know if the Pressure Network API in Civil 3D 2013 have been exposed via .NET or COM.

I just updated to the latest version of Edge Animate CC yesterday. Great new features, by the way! However, I have noticed that with a simple file that I created with the new version, there is a 3-4 second loading latency when previewing a file and when launching the published version. This is not the case with files that I created in the previous version and have not updated.
Example: I have a gray rectangle element that covers the entire stage, and I have an action on creationComplete to hide the element. I see the rectangle immediately on launch, but it takes 3-4 seconds to hide.

Is there some way a person can export the pressure network in c3d 2014 to a 3d model (3ds,revit,IMX)? IThis can be done with the sewer network but no joy on the pressure network. I would really like to use Infrastructure modeller to assist in the design of our project.
I really like the new tool for pressure networks, but the fact that I cant export a 3d model.

I have multiple profile views with a pipe network. In a number of cases, I have a pipe that extends to the end of one profile view and continues on the next. I can label the pipe on one profile but not on the other. Is there a way to add two labels to the same pipe - one label on one profile view and another label on the other profile?

I am labeling structures in a network on the profile view. I cannot get the leader when i drag the label to anchor to the top of the structure? Is there a way to do this, i figured out how to have the label insert at the middle of the top line of the structure.

I am using Civil 3D 2010 & getting an error message when I run the command (AddNetworkPartsToProf) to add network parts to the profile.
Here is the message I get when I select a part of the pipe network to draw into the profile. "1 object was of the wrong type. All objects in the pickfirst set were filtered out, please select again".

I have lost the ability to create a pipe network in a single drawing. Sorta. I can create a pipe network, and label it, and see it in my toolspace, but it won't display it for any style in any format. I can bring in a data reference and label those, but can not see pipe or structure outlines or anything to that end. I have tried to recover, audit, purge. I am at the end, currently creating the pipe network, data referencing it in, and then just drawing lines between the labels.

I have make a road network. Then i make a corridor surface using corridor extends as outside boundary. I also create a boundary in the interior side of the roads with interactively tool, and i use it as a hide boundary. The corridor surface look fine but when i am trying to make a finish Ground Surface pasting the corridor surface after Existing Ground surface then the hide boundary of corridor surface make holes in finish Ground surface.

I have created a pressure pipe network (Plan view) from own created pipes and fittings, try to create an alignment from the network but C3D tells me that the selected network part has no connected parts?
How would I connect the network in order to create an alignment? (the pipe network has got a command to do that)

I have a drainage model, the data for which has been imported from microdrainage into Civil3d (.sws file) .
The engineer working on the project is playing around with the Invert and Cover levels so I reload the same updated .sws file into my model almost daily expecting the information shown in the labels of the pipes and manholes to simply change. Instead mine seem to disappear and I have to relabel the whole network again.
This wouldn't be much of a problem because labeling only takes a few minutes but with this particular scheme, the client wants the labels shown in a box with a leader. When I relabel, the boxes automatically snap to the center of the manholes without a leader and i then have to drag each one away from the manhole to get the leader to show up.

I am trying to create a pressure network with 1.8m cover. I haven't created one before but I've read up and understand how to do it. I have created a new network and referenced it to a surface and alignment, using the default parts catalog, and changed cover to 1.8m. I pick pipes and bends or pipes only and start to draw. It asked for an insertion point and I click one and a blue line, attached to my insertion point, follows my curser. It asked for another point and I click in another place but when I click that second point the blue line disappears and a new one follows my curser attached to the new point I just clicked.

I was using Ulead VideoStudio SE and 12.0 without any issues but ever since I tried a trial version of X3 or X4 I'm unable to render videos properly with SE and 12.0 using SmartRender. What happens is after 8 minutes, the sound of the video stops and when the sound comes back on, the frames start freezing. This issue occurred before and I removed the trial versions and reinstalled all my drivers, etc. to fix the problem. But now I tried doing the same thing and it's not working. I even tried to cleanup everything of Ulead and Corel on my system, but the render issue still occurs.

I'm having a technical question with a customers Revit Architecture 2012. The project he's working on is about 90 Megabytes in size, and the references are about 60MB. He is storing these on a network share. Unfortunately they are still on a 100MBit network. As Workstation he is using a DELL Precision M6500 (notebook) with the following specs:
when he is trying to zoom in on and out of this project, he is experiencing high waiting time between the zoom-steps, sometimes unbearably long. As the notebook is brandnew and tested I didn't blame it on faulty hardware. So I suggested to run the same Project on a different machine.
I don't know much about the software architecture of Revit Architecture, so i don't know which hardware component is mostly stressed when zooming in and out (guessing the gfx, because the project needs to be recalculated?). I guess there lies the bottleneck.The customer requested an answer, which hardware needs to be exchanged / upgraded in order to accelerate the zoom-steps, decrease the latency.

I'm experiencing latency when playing movies in LR5. I'm connected to my Windows server from a new/fast Macbook running 10.9. Right now, the batch that I'm experiecing this with are .MOV files, but it's happened with other formats as well. The movies play fine when I open them in QT from Finder, so I know it's not the server connection, which uses Gigabit ethernet. When I play them through LR5, I often experience delays where I'll hear the audio, but the video is frozen. Then when I swittch back from Loupe to Grid view, I get the spinning wheel for a while. This even occurs on short movies - 2-3 minuyes long, under 5MB. This should be an easy thing to implement, and baseline for offering movie capabilities.

I'm having trouble installing a Hotfix for C3D 2012. The error I'm getting is that it can't find the file AeccCascade.cab. Autodesk Support says this is because the path to my deployment is broken and I need to reinstall C3D. However it looks to me that the path is OK. I've checked the registry and did a Repair with no problem.
Civil 3D 2012 network deployment find that file there?

We recently updated our servers and I am having trouble accessing files through Autocad. For example, if I try to open a drawing or attach an xref I select the drive and can see the folders in it but can not open any. I have no problem opening these folders through windows explorer so I do not think it is a permission issue. I am the only one in the office running 64bit on windows 7 (everyone else is on xp) We are using Civil 3D 2010.

I'm creating a utility template. Earlier in the day, I'm able to assign pipe and structure rules to a network and create the network based on these rules. Within the past 30 minutes, however, it completely ignores the pipe and structure rules while creating the network.
I make sure there is a surface assigned to the network. I make sure the pipe rules are set correctly in the parts list. I'm using no null structures. NOTHING HAS CHANGED EXCEPT THE POSITION OF THE MINUTE AND HOUR HANDS ON THE CLOCK! It's like the Civil 3D went out to lunch and forgot to tell me that it's going to lunch.

I have a user having an issue with drawing pipe networks. When they draw the pipe, the structure is not visible. A label shows up, and the structure can be found in the prospector, but is not editable in the plan view (see attached image).
I have a feeling it may be an issue with our pipe networks parts list and pipe catalog location. We have found an issue with our install that defaluts our pipes catalog to our local drives, but our parts list were created using a network drive. Several users have had an issue creating pipe networks when this has happened. However once we switched the pipe catalog to the netowrk drive the issue was resolved.
When we changed the pipe catalog location, it did not resolve the issues.FYI - I have tried the basics (layers on/thawed, pipe structure style layers on/thawed, audit and purge).We are using Civil 3D '09.

How to set certain Civil 3D data folders to a network location. For example how can I set my default QTO categories, pay item and formula file paths to a network location?
I've figured out how to set Survey Database and Pipe Network Parts Catalog paths. It seems there should be some general configuration settings dialogue for all these paths somewhere. Is there? If not, is there a list of commands for configuring all the path settings?
This is for standalone clients not using Vault.

We are having trouble with one of our C3D 2013 seats crashing (giving a fatal error) when trying to edit or do anything with a pipe network. The drawings work fine on other computers. I am trying to keep from having to remove and reinstall the software.

I am working on an existing Pipe Network. I have a location where I have already placed a pipe and filled in the correct parameters for this pipe. But I realize now that there is a concrete headwall near the end of the pipe. So I was trying to insert the structure at the midpoint of a line I have created for OSNAP reasons so it would create the structure at the specified location. The problem is when I move the structure to create at this location, the "Break Pipe Marker" goes away and only shows when I am at a different location along the pipe. So I wanted to see if there was a command or feature to use to tell the software I want to place this structure at a specified location along this one section of pipe.
I wanted to see what my options were. I know I can grab one end of the pipe and move it to the location and then add the structure and pipe from there. But I did this insertion under different circumstances and it broke the pipe into 2 sections while still keeping the same and adding a (1) after it, which is pretty useful when reading printouts and showing that this is actually one pipe instead of 2 pipes.

I am trying to add a 20"x6" tee to a 20" force main pressure pipe network and Civil 3D simply refuses to do it. It will cut the pipe, but won't add the tee in plan edit. When I try to add a tee to the end of a pipe, it doesn't show up. I can, however, add a 24"x6" tee to my 20" di pipe, which of course doesn't even make sense.
Also, I am having a problem with vertical bends in profile drawing correctly. It works fine when the profile is running left to right, but where I have to reverse the profile they cross over onto themselves (see attached png).
I find myself spending more time fiddling with the pressure network tool than it would take to just draw it manually.
