AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Subassemblies - Pkt / Dll And Different Computers
May 15, 2013
how subassemblies work, vis a vis pkt files & all the files created in the ProgramData folder (.atc, .cfg, .dll, .emd, .pvd, .xaml, pdb)? Here's our situation:
A user will make a subassembly, save it locally. The subassembly is used in a corridor. A different user tries to access this file: the subassembly is there (shows in plan), but the parameters are empty and that part of the assembly doesn't run. The subassembly doesn't appear in the Tool Pallet. You do get a .NET error when trying to look at the subassembly.
How we fix this is to open up the C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuImported Tools folder on the computer which made the subassembly, copy everything, and paste it into the other computer's C:ProgramDataAutodeskC3D 2013enuImported Tools folder. How/why doesn't the drawing which has the subassembly in it just work?? And moving forward, how can we share drawings with custom subassemblies? Remap everyone's .net search path to a network drive?

How do I specify the code set to be used on subassemblies when creating an intersection? I want to specify this in a command setting so that the intersection is built correctly without me having to edit feature lines in the corridor properties for th intersection.

I think tool palette with vertical tabs are a lot of unconfortable...
Is there any way to have or to create a "mega-subassemblies-ribbon" ?

issue with my Corridor. It involves the intersection of a main road alignment and a secondary road. Thing is my main road has a 6' shoulder whereas my secondary road doesn't have a shoulder at all. I used the Intersection Wizard to create the Intersection, but the two templates don't align. Without the shoulder the ditches don't line up. I tried drawing a polyline between the two ditches and targeting it and that worked, but then realized that going from 6' shoulder to no shoulder wasn't working either so when I tried to target a polyline from the 6' shoulder to the edge of pavement all kind of stuff happened that didn't make sense to me.

I have a ditch and a road that need to follow separate profiles but be integrated with each other as a single corridor and the ditch's 3:1 slope needs to meet up with the road's 2% slope. Is it possible to have the two subassemblies target each other without having to create a dummy surface or a feature line for targeting to?

I was wondering if there is a way to add labels to assemblies/subassemblies. When I use generic subassemblies or subassemblies I have created in SAC there aren't labels such as slope or offset/elevation. At this point I am stuck creating labels in each of my section views and this can become very tedious.

When I attempt to import a PKT file from SAC, C3D crashes. This includes custom ones that I created as well as samples from the ADESK site.

I understand the procedure for IMPORTING a pkt file from SAC into C3D. But is there a way to go the other direction?I want to use certain SAs that come with OOB C3D -- but I want to customize them.
Of course I can recreate them -- but I'd rather not start from scratch (ESPECIALLY where it comes to the codes).

We are just starting with Civil 3D 2012. We are doing a pilot project, and the engineer wanted to make a custom curb subassembly matching the exact dimensions (angle from bottom of curb to top of curb) as the county detail. I didn't think that was necessary and thought we could use one of the generic subassemblies. usually use the basic or generic subassemblies or do you create your own to match specific municipalities' details exactly?
Do you find that the parts that come with Civil 3D are usually sufficient for design or do you make a lot of custom parts?

I need to create a corridor that has this section. So I'm using this assembly:
on which I put 3 conditional fill subassemblies on point A, one for fill conditions of more than 2 m that would daylight at 2:1 until it reaches 2 m down and then daylights at 1:3 until it reaches the EG. Then I have another for fill conditions of less than 2 m that only daylights at 2:1 to the EG, and the last one is for all cut conditions.
As expected I have the following problem in some stations that have fill conditions on A of less than 2 m but more than 2 m on B:
Is there any way I can make B the comparison point without having the following problem on cut conditions?
Or that I could create an assembly with the condition that when I have a fill of more than 2 m on point B it daylights, from point B, at 1:3; but when B would be on cut conditions it daylights from A?

I am trying to set up a corridor with multiple materials with multiple pavement sections. For example, I have concrete and asphalt surface pavement, about 4 different kinds of base material and 2 different sub base materials to use. It doesn't seem like you can get quantities divided up like that. It seems like you can only get the 'base' material counted up with the quantities and you can only assign one material to it. Is the answer to create multiple corridors for each pavement type that has their own Code Set to assign to each corridor?

Have a question regarding multiple daylight subassemblies, don't know if it is possible. So I have an assembly with a trench SA in cut condition and a project to surface in fill condition, I built the corridor with this assembly and most of things look fine. However, there is a short stretch (in cut condition) of the corridor that I would like to modify such that a trench is not provided. I know I can create a new assembly with my desire condition, then create a new region and drop that assembly there, but I am wondering if there any other way to achieve my goal without another assembly.

is there a way to turn off different levels of shading in the subassemblies that show up? when i orbit my road, i cant clearly see what is going on, and would like to turn off some shading. see image, i want to turn off where the arrows are pointing.

I've got several assemblys built for a road project. the problem is whenever i modify an assembly by adding a subassemby, some of the existing subassemblies move. they stay attached to the assembly but they disconnect from the part they were attached to. i can move them back so the assembly looks correct but when i rebuild the corridor chances are they show up wrong. i've tried 'move to' and just grabbing and snapping. i can eventually get it attached but not without trial and error. i'm running c3d2012.

Along my corridor I have different assemblies I used. My sidewalk is curb side in some locations and in different locations there is a boulevard between the curb and sidewalk. I want to transition between these different assemblies and I want that transition to show up in the cross sections I cut. Isn't there a way to tell Civil 3D to transition from one assembly to the next one as you could in Eagle Point?

I am using C3D 2013.
Is it possible to edit a sub-assembly in the Corridor Modeling Catalog (Imperial.NET) see attached image.
The company I work for has several users working off one network server. I would like to make a revision to one of the dimensions in the sub-assembly "UrbanCurbGutterGeneral" (the default gutter width is 16" I would like to make the default 18"). I'm assuming I need to change this in the Catalog so every users tool palette will be updated also.

I am running a corridor in Civil 3D 2012 that has two baselines. Issues with multiple baselines in section views, but understand this problem was eliminated in 2012? In any case, this does not seem to by my issue. Attached you will find a section view through the two baselines (one is for a general overlay, the second for widening). The section view seems to display correctly at station 3+75, but 25' feet further down the road it does not display the corridor assemblies correctly (as can be seen by the lack of a ditch and shoulder overlay in the second image).
I have checked the code styles to make sure all links are included, as well as the comparing section view properties. All settings and styles appear to be the same, and the corridor seems to be built correctly. If I sample the Finished Grade corridor surface, it displays in section view as if the ditch were there (see third image).

I'm trying to create an assembly that consists of two curbs sub-assemblies that are tied to independent alignments with a pavement section in between them. I have been successful in actually creating an assembly with the two curb sections, but I cannot figure out how to define a line or pavement section that will connect one gutter to the other.
I have one curb tied to the main baseline and the other tied to an offset. I have assigned horizontal alignments and profiles to the baseline and the offset. The curbs actually place where I want them when viewed with the section editor. I had thought that I could use the LinkToMarkedPoint subassembly and simply attach it to the gutter of one curb and to a marked point on the gutter of the other curb, but I can't get it to actually work.
Again, the curb alignment and profiles are completely in independent one another, and I need a way to define a pavement section (or just a surface) between the two gutters.

I'm creating a corridor to widen a road on the left and right sides. I am using OverlayWidenMatchSlope, with various other subassemblies. In places it daylights, in places there's a cut wall modeled from generic links. I am trying to create a good boundary for the corridor surfaces but I'm puzzled by one thing. The OWMS subassembly has a P2 code, but the corridor will not generate a featureline connecting the P2 codes..
I will try adding another baseline, and a new subassembly that will just use a generic link to target the sawcut line (the insert point for OWMS). That should give me a featureline I can use for a surface boundary. Is there a way to generate that featureline from the inside edge (the insert point) of the OWMS subassembly?

I am having an issue with my section views. Some of my subassemblies are only showing on certain stations. If I view the stations on the cross section editor, the corridor looks just fine, but when I go to the section sheet where the corridor is x-referenced, the driveway disappears.
I have rebuilt the corridor numerous times, detached and reattached the drawing, made a new drawing and recreated the sample lines to no avail. Attached are some pictures to show the disappearing driveway on the right side of the street.

This is in reference to the DGNPURGE command for Civil 3D 2014 that can be installed from this hotfix:[URL]
I have already installed Service pack 1 for Civil 3D 2014.
I installed this hotfix on 16 computers in my office. So far the command runs successfully on only 4 computers.
Everyone in my company uses Windows 7 64-bit on computers that are identical. Once the hotfix is installed it doesn't work for everyone. It will run, but it returns this error:
"Unable to erase stroke (AcDbZombieObject): eNotAllowedForThisProxy"
That error is displayed thousands of times, I assume once for each unreferenced stroke. The at the end it says this:
"Purged 0 unreferenced complex linetype records (of 0). Purged 0 unreferenced strokes (of 19970)."
For only a few people, when they run DGNPURGE on the same exact drawing and it purges the unreferenced strokes just fine. It then says:
"Purged 0 unreferenced complex linetype records (of 0) Purged 19969 unreferenced strokes (of 19970)"
Each installation of Civil 3D was performed in exactly the same way from a deployment by one of our IT staff members. In addition, we already tried uninstalling Civil 3D and reinstalling it on one of the computers and it still doesn't work.
At the suggestion of Autodesk support I tried starting one of the computers in diagnostic mode and that didn't work either.I made sure to use the files in the px64 folder. In addition, I did try the files in the px86 folder just to see if they would work and they do not.Also, I have installed the Civil 3D 2012 hotfix for everyone and it works fine for everyone including those who the C3D 2014 hotfix doesn't work.

We are currently using 2012 Civil 3D, and we have a issue with a drawing that not all the Pipes from the pipe network are displaying in the Profile, and even the pipe properties display box the lengths show up way too long and the stationing does not display correctly in this pipe properties box either.
The Big Twist is that we have 2 machines in the offices that will display the drawing correctly, in profile view and pipe properties display box has correct lengths and stationing. So we know it is not styles, etc.
Direct support has suggested we un-install all Autodesk products and reinstall them all again, we tried the repair, however this did not work. Any other way before we have to go through all this work, as we are looking a huge amount of downtime, and we do not think this is the issue. Perhaps a Civil 3D variable or Autocad variable is different?

I am working on a new concept design for one of our customers. A critical design parameter is the weight of each of several sub-assemblies.
I have an idw of the top level assembly where I have added Parts Lists of each of the critical subs to show the weight of the components used in each sub assembly. I would like to add a line at the bottom of each Parts List that shows the total weight of that sub assembly. I would also like the header of the Parts List to display the Part Number (from the sub assembly iprops).
Is there a way to get why I want from IV? I am currently using IV 2012. I have attached a .pdf mockup of what I want.

If i make a Inventor DWG and insert one Assembly with lets say 7 subassemblies i want to color the Edges differend color i the DWG ( by right clicking on the subassembly and properties).
This takes a lot of time especially when i have differend wievs to bloon all of the subassemblies, i have to open the assemblies in the three on by one and change the edge color.

I would like to insert 2 or more of the same subassemblies into an assembly, yet have each subassembly a different size.
When I do this currently when I change the parameter for one of the subassemblies all the subassemblies are changed.
