noticed that the file size of pdf's created using the publish command in C3D 2014 are much larger than files created using 2013? I'm talking twice the size in some cases. I've gone through the settings and found no differences, but there must be something I'm missing. When I use the plot command on a single layout, the file sizes are similar, so there must be something in the publish command.

Publishing to PDF as single sheets for insertion into other documents or page managers (such as Indesign) works fine, apart from the fact that it makes crappy work of JPGs should any be embedded in the CAD file. Plotting individually using high quality PDF settings also works but it's difficult with large sets.
Therefore, I would like to publish a tab set to PDF using the plotter named in page setup. However, what this does, is it forces me to pick the file name and locaiton each time, rather than using the one specified in the publish dialog. Is there a way around this? That is, can I make the named plotter behave like the "DWG to PDF" one (that is, name the files automatically)?
If not, can I make the "DWG to PDF" one not compress JPGS?
As to why - I work in a mac environment and everyone draws in Illustrator. I use CAD and many times, for large projects, need this sort of page management. And every once in a while, I need to insert a rendering into a CAD document and then publish.
I have been ateempting to use the DWG to PDF.pc3 to batch convert a bunch of drawings to PDF. Everything appears to work well but I keep getting layers in my PDF's which I do not want as the slow down printing. I have turned off "include layer information" in the pc3 custom settings and I have also set "Don't include" in the publish options.
I am obvisouly missing something somewhere as I continue to get PDF's with layers.
I'm using AutoCAD Mech 2008. is there a way to publish multiple dwg files to individual pdf's.
Right now I typically plot to Adobe PDF, extents/center to plot/fit to paper/monochrome.
Upon doing a search, someone mentioned "AutoPublish" upon closing. Is this an option, and if so, is it my only option?
I'm using Inventor 2014 with Service Pack 1 with Desktop Content Center enabled on a single machine. I've also installed Vault Basic 2014 on the same machine. Operating System is Windows 7 Professional.
I've edited my non-vaulted and vaulted project files to create a Custom Content Center Library called Zzyzx. I've started a new Assembly and entered the Content Center Editor to add files to the Zzyzx library. I've copied the Inventor ANSI fasteners section into the Zzyzx library, using the Copy To method with links enabled. So far, so good.
After copying the entire Inventor ANSI fasteners to the Zzyzx library, I created a new column called DESCRIPTION within the Heavy Hex Head Bolt - Inch series folder. Using and expression, I've modified the string values of the just created DESCRIPTION column. I've elected to map DESCRIPTION to the Project.Description iProperty. I use the OK button and each row in the new column gets populated. Update Lightning Bolts are displayed at the far left of the dialog box.
I then use either the Apply or OK button and then Inventor displays a Publish Error message box that states: Non-unique filename(s) found in members. I've checked the file names and I see nothing that's repeating. I've tried using a new file name, but that doesn't solve the issue.What steps must I take in order to successfully edit my Custom Content Library called Zzyzx?

Publishing parts to C Center or Editing tables in C Center Crashes Inventor Prof 2014
Before i say anything let me say that this problem occured last night.Was always there as i had not used the feature before in 2014. I uninstalled ONLY Inventor from the suite and re installed. It worked !!
Tonight i was publishing new parts and then Inventor crashed. Since its crashed again i cant publish or edit part family tables to make additions etc with Inventor crashing.
I believe something has corrupted again within the Inventor 2014 install and i dont know what.
Im looking for some pointers as i dont really feel like uninstalling and reinstalling Inventor to fix it.
I have cleared the cache from users folders etc. Im guessing i need to clear some thing else as well. This crashes in both Vault and local CC files.
In one file Civil 3D keeps crashing when I wan't to publish multiple layouts to pdf.
I have publish in background turned off and I am using Civil 3D 2013
When it crashes I get the following Error message:
FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0xddadd6d8 Exception at 771d8359h
I am having issues with the publishing command.
When I plot a single tab the frozen layers in the viewport do not plot, which is correct. But when I publish the same tabs the frozen layers in the viewports all plot.
I’m having a user profile issue on one computer. I have a user, using windows 7 and AutoCAD Civil 3D 2014 on his work station. When using Civil 3D he has two issues: one, he cannot import Dgn’s. I’ve tried everything it just won’t work. Second, he cannot xref or insert PDF’s into a drawing. Now the reason why I say this is a profile issue is because if I log on to his computer (or anyone else log’s on his computer), I can do all those things in Civil 3D, import DGN’s & insert/xref PDF’s. If this user log’s on my computer, he can do all those things in Civil 3D. Import DGN’s & insert/xref PDF’s. Something with his profile on his computer is corrupt and I’m trying to fix it without deleting and creating another user profile.

But one of the powerfull thing of the SSM is to publish multiple (or single) sheets at a time.
Well, i tryed it since a few months in and out publishing via the style sheet on the sheet set template i'm building and it doesn't print.
The publishing icon in the status bar of civil 3d 2012 keeps on going for ever !!! (Even when i cancel the job, it doesn't stop the icone, like it's jamed)
Btw, even if i pass by a drawing that isnt in the SSM and choose several layouts to publish it does the same thing too.
I use to do this on a 2008 version of Autocad.

When publishing a drawing set, I have a printer set up which creates KIP plotfiles. In LDD 2007, there was no issues. After upgrading to Civil3D 2013, when publishing to plotfiles, all sheets are merged into 1 plotfile, which is unusable.Seems like a bug in the publishing component. Publishing to PDF or DWF gives the option of merging all files or creating individual files.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen publishing a sheet set some of my annotation labels are not showing up. If I open the sheet, they are there, set to print and everything is correct. If I print just that sheet, everything is fine. Only happens in publish. It's almost like the publish command isn't giving the drawing enough time to open and load everything before printing.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have tried to bring in the 3d block for a fire hydrant, exploded it and combined as 1 solid, added connection point. When using the Civil 3D 2013 "publishpartcontent" command it ask me to save the .content file but when creating the png it outputs an error in the command line. When I go to bring in the content in the catalog edditor I recieve an error saying .content file units do not match catalog. I have tried bring the part into both metric and imperial catalogs and recieve the same error. I also tried creating just a cylinder soli in a new draiwing and publishing the content file, I still recieve the error when it tries to create the .png but when I load it into the catalog it works. Is there any way to set the units of the solid within civil 3d before creating the .content file.

I have a large scale industrial project with multiple road profiles and sections sheets. I find that when I plot my drawings manually by opening the drawing everything comes out fine. But when I publish the drawings manually or thru Sheet Set Manager, it shifts my vertical curve labels on my profiles down, which then conflicts with the profile linework (see attached image). Unfortunately manually plotting these drawings is not an option. Because of the amount of information in each drawing it takes 3-4 mins to open and we have 200+ drawings in a single set of drawings, which we have multiple sets of drawings for the project.

These are always over/ in viewports. They do NOT show up in plot preview. I tried plot and publish. Both give same results. When zoomed in you can see they are tiny little viewport control dialog boxes that seem to have been placed on the plot at random.

1) Import .STM into a Blank/New Drawing -> Creates a pipe network with correct IE, Size, and HGL/Flow Data
2) Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Update Network -> No change in network (IE, HGL, etc.)
3) Import .STM into design drawing -> Choose to Create a New Network -> Does not create a new network
I've tried closing C3D, and checking, still no change.
whenever I try to hatch something the cpu crashes. It even crashes in a new drawing file with nothing in it but a rectangle.

I know this worked in 2013. In any panorama, Feature Line Edit Elevations for example, you could select certain rows, or all of them, right-click and get a menu with the options Copy All and Copy Selected. These could then be pasted in Excel, or in my cae HEC-RAS.
We upgraded to 2014 a few months ago and hadn't discovered this until today. In 2014, with lines in the panorama selected, a right-click does nothing. I tried again in 2013, and it worked fine, and I was able to get my work done.
Is this a feature that was dropped between 2013 and 2014?
I have Lidar LAS files in UTM18 and need them in State Plane. Horizontally they come in fine to a drawing with the correct system set. Vertically they are still in Meters. I know a couple of workarounds. But I'm just wondering if there have been any advances in 2014.
We're still on 2012 but I'm testing 2014 I don't want to go through the whole process again if it's not going to work.

Rubber sheeting a pdf with 2014? It now asks you yo select an image. Since a pdf is not an image not sure how to accomplish this. WHY DID THEY CHANGE THIS?
View 9 Replies View RelatedThis is my aplicattion in Civil 3D 2014. URL....It´s a tool palette that checks the design criteria (for alignments,superelevations and profiles) according to Spanish rules.My program changes the name of each superelevation curve,for example:

---> With my program: (VisorNET Curva.1,VisorNET Cuva.2,.....)
If I calcule again Superelevations using Superelevation button (Calculate/Edit superelevation)of Civil 3D, Civil 3D doesn´t change the Superelevation Curve Names and appears again (VisorNET Curva.1,VisorNET Curva.2,...).Superelevation CurveName property doesn´t exist in settings:

I have problem with compatibility this two versions of civil 3D. Files created in C3D 2013 then modified in 2014 don't want to open in C3D 2013. Files contain many civil objects: shortcuts, corridors. During opening occurs fatal error.
There is no problem with files which were created in C3D 2014 from the begining only modified in C3D 2014.

One of our Dell workstations has recently decided it will no longer save our CAD drawings to the network. Never had this issue before this week, haven't changed anything that we are aware of. No one else is having network issues. We have connected the computer to a different network outlet at another station, that has no effect on the problem.
When you attempt to save, if you watch the command line it will tell you "Cannot save drawing to K/Work Order/Project/drawing name.dwg, saved copy to K/Work Order//Project/(misc letters and numbers).tmp"
It then deletes the original drawing from its location and saves this temp file.
I am trying to run a basic hydrology network to get flows and I'm using
1) hydro method: TR-20
2) TOC method: TR-55
I would like to run hydraulic routing specifications as:
1) Link routing method: Kinematic Wave
....., but it seems as though having multiple "outfalls" I cannot run as Kinematic Method.
How can I cheat to create dummy points (junctions/links/etc.) to create a system to have only one outfall because I know you cannot have more than one link connected to the outfall.
We just recieved 2014 C3D upgrade from 2012. I opened a 2012 dwg and saved in the 2013 file format. now when i attempt to open the drawing in 2014, C3D freezes while loading the drawing. It can't seem to get past "reading triangles from file". Weird thing is i can open a copy of the original 2012 DWG and work for minutes or hours in 2014 saving many times along the way and if i close the DWG and attemp to re-open, it freezes up everytime. I have done this same procedure with other DWG's and don't have any issues.

It is well documented that when text objects using a TrueType font (ie Arial) have a non zero elevation that they do not display correctly. Before we upgraded (in May our office upgraded from C3D2009 to C3D2014) I was meticulous about making sure our text objects always had a zero elevation and we largely avoided any problems.
However in Civil 3D 2014 it seems that by default contour label objects and certain other label objects are given a non-zero elevation (they are assigned the elevation of the contour or in the case of a pipe network object, the manhole rim elevation). Thus the text in these labels displays incorrectly.
This is a very frustrating problem as we are now faced with having to revert all of our styles back to .shx based fonts. Is Autodesk aware of the bug?
I am trying to migrate our 2012 vb.net code to 2014 vb. I have run into an issue with PointEntity. See below
Dim opt1 As Autodesk.AECC.Interop.Land.AeccPoint
Dim ptObjId AsObjectId = PointEntity.FromAcadObject(opt1)
i need to get the objectID from the AeccPoint. But the PointEntity is not working in 2014. i cannot find the right reference for it.
Interesting find this morning. In C3D 2014, the MAPEXPORT asks to save the file name, give the file a name, and then nothing happens. I have done a repair and to no avail, nothing. The dialog box does not appear, and no file is created.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThe transformation settings are changing every time a drawing is reopened. The computation method is switching from "reference point" to "unity" - see attachment. This is causing the software to use a scale factor of 1 instead of the computed scale factor at the defined reference point when scaling our points from state plane to our local ground system. This completely screws up our entire survey workflow that we have been using for almost 2 years. We had no issues like this in the 2012 or 2013 versions.
