AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Table With Lengths Of Polyline / Objects
Jul 16, 2012
I need to have a table that updates when I change the length of a polyline, These lines are split up into segments for different types of materials. We usually add this up manually but would like to find a solution that is a little more automated.
I have mostly a background in GIS and have excellent knowledge of Autocad Map. I came up with a solution by creating a shapefile and making a multi-part feature for the segments. I added a table and connected to the .dbf file of the shapefile. I then calculate out the lengths of the line and update the attribution of the shapefile. Easy and took a few minutes to do.
I just want to know if there is a better way of doing this. I have did some searching and have found some information about alignment tables.

I am basically looking for a way to get the length of each polylie segment in the overall polyline. Not the total length.
I then need to comapre these lengths. I guess I could do some math to get the values of the verticies, but is there a built in method to do this? how to get started?

Is it possible to determine the sum of the lengths of all of the polylines on a certain layer? I'm trying to determine the total length of joint sealant on a building's exterior.

The task should be similar to the _measure command but, I would like to divide the spline into lengths that I give in input. (Decided by user)
e.g. Length of spline: 10.000 meters
Place a block at length:
- 1238 m
- 2005 m
- 2018 m
- 2458 m
- 4098 m
and so on..
How I can do that? It would be perfect if it would be possible to give an excel file with the length values.

Where is the settings for changing the precision on an annotated line length? I'm getting three places right now, and I don't need any places other than the whole number on a series of lines.

Any way I can align a new polyline to a reference polyline (orig polyline).
The 2 polys will be generally the same length, however, the number of vertices will differ.
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.

I need to create a triangular grid of injection boreholes with side lengths of 2m and can't think of a slick way to do it.
I've created two linear arrays of polyline at the correct spacings and MAPCLEANed to break all the crossing lines so I now have line segments at the correct locations.I now need to put a point at each vertex to show the locations of the holes.
I'm sure there must be a better way of doing this - just thinking while typing: if the two array are on different layers, I could JOIN the polys on each layer and then add POINTS at vertices??

When labeling pipes in a pipe network; is there a way or expression to roundup the label to 6 inch interval. For example, if I have a pipe length of 2.6 feet, I want to roundup this to 3.0 feet and if I have a pipe length of 2.4 feet, I want to roundup this to 2.5 feet.

Is there a way to force the table and table text height to stay constant despite the scale? I can do it for Point Label Styles with an Expression. But in 2011 there is no way to build an expression for a table style.
I want to create tables in the drawing where the points are and then plot them from a drawing they're Xrefed in to. The tables are too small but zooming in doesn't make them any bigger because the scale of the viewport changes and they adjust.

The attached image shows a table that I created as a AEC Object from my Civil 3D Alignment (i can turn it to 'MText' and then 'Text' in one or two steps). What I need is a routine, or anything, that fills the third column with an information based on the second column: the deflection angle, something like that:
Curve Angle Type of angle
C1 22°30'00'' 2
C2 39°21'28'' 3
C3 44°59'59'' 3
C4 45°00'00'' 4
C5 45°00'01'' 5
Is there something I could read to study to solve it myself and specify my own angles/types of angles?

I want to know if you can link AutoCad tables to other Autocad tables on different layouts. Say I have ten sheets, each with a table for quantities of pipe length, and one sheet with a total of all quantities. Can I link cells from each separate layout sheet to the main table sheet, so that I can add them all for project totals?

I've managed to create an array using custom blocks. This array is obviously comprised of "x" columns and "x" rows. What i'm trying to do is have the ability to essentially link all of the objects per column (and/or per row) with a polyline. So if i have 5 columns generated, I would like to have 5 polylines extend over those columns. Any example of how to do something like this. Essentially what i'm looking to do is create something of a grid using the objects in my array as place markers. And now for a bit of existing code:
//Use the upper-left corner of the objects extents for the array base point Extents3d acExts = bref.Bounds.GetValueOrDefault(); Point2d acPt2dArrayBase = new Point2d(acExts.MinPoint.X, acExts.MaxPoint.Y); //Track the objects created for each column
[code]....

I am filtering for objects based on layer as shown below.The layer consists of lines and arcs.Is there anyway to convert all these entities into a polyline and get the object id of this single entity.
Dim acTypValArPath(0) AsTypedValue
Dim sf As SelectionFilter = New SelectionFilter(New TypedValue() {New TypedValue(8, "FirstBias")})
Dim ss As SelectionSet = acEditor.SelectAll(sf).Value
Dim idarray As ObjectId() = ss.GetObjectIds()

Im practicing for my CAD certification test and im trying to select all objects inclosed in a poly line. Right now i have a bunch of random circles and a random figure drawn in the middle of a bunch of circles. How do i select ONLY the circles that are completely in the object?
P.S. I would add a picture but i don't know how to take a screenshot on windows xp.

I have drawings with a lot of polyline objects. I need a routine which will draw multilines by coordinates of vertexes of this polylines. For example, if there is a pline with coordinates 10,10 - 20,20 i want to draw in other layer MLINE with the same coordinates. I know it's should be simple but can not gues how to do it. I've never used LISP before.

I have a table in excel and I'd like to have text in cells link to nodes on a map.
i.e. I have the traffic volume of a road section in a table. I'd like to show that volume on a map beside a circle where the count was taken. I'd like to be able to update the table value and have it also update on ythe map.

I have a .stp file that I am trying to dimension on a drawing. There are about 100 or so lightening pockets that are all the same basic shape (a rectangle with a full round on the ends). As of now I have been manually making a table for each location. Is there a way to create something like a hole table to automatically capture the locations of the pockets and create a corresponding table? I know I can create a centermrk on the round portions to use with a hole table but I want to dimension from the center of the pockets for the table.

There is a major bug with CorelCAD LOFT command - when used with 3D polyline objects, it fails and errors out with the following error:
Specify cross-sections in lofting order»1 found, 2 totalSpecify cross-sections in lofting order»Selected cross-section is not a valid type.
The workaround is to set the CCS to the plane of the 3D polyline object and then use 2D polylines to recreate it, move the 2D version, delete the 3D version, Align the 2D version with where the 3D version came from and then repeat the LOFT command.
Has been logged with Graebert under ticket: #12458
To repeat the error, see the test file. There are two radially aligned triangles in each set. The set on the left are 3D polyline. The set on the right are 2D polyline. Attempting to loft the set on the left will cause the error.
Both large and small triangles are respectively co-planar.

I 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.

Recently my company has changed the standards to label existing utilities with text right above the utilitie lines without leaders. I would like to do automate this process somehow using attributes or something similar to that. I have attached a screen shot of how I would like it to look. The objective is to speed up the labeling process.

I have a point cloud that i want to snap a boundry around its outer limit. Is there some way to do this automaticly? I tried creating a surface and using the maximum triangle length to get a good boundry. For some reason i loose a lot of pionts at the edges with this boundry. I have removed points that represents water so i have a part in the midddle that i want a boundry around.

i have just spent 8 hours today trying to find a link that will vary target a poly line that i have set. i cant seem to find the link that will do what i need as per the attachemnt. the section between the edge of the foot path and the start of the fill/cut slope needs to be variable
i know how to set all the targets but this link seems to be a fixed length.
