AutoCad :: Transfer Drawings From 2005 To 2009?
Apr 11, 2011My laptop crashed with 2005 but I still have the disks with my drawings stored in them. The 2005 is so old it won't load onto Win7 in my new laptop. But I do have a friend who has 2009. Can I still access my drawings.

Oct 23, 2013Just curious as to whether people use much colour in their production drawings, particularly for hatches...?
Working for Local Government, we tend to utilise colour hatches to show all kinds of information.
Generally, we have found that colour hatches are a good way to clearly show different areas and materials such as pavements, paths, landscape areas etc. Hatches can then be used to quickly ascertain areas for estimation and our construction team like them too as the plans tend to be easier to read.
The usual arguments about reproduction of plans and slowing down of computers doesn't seem to be an issue for us. Most photocopiers are in colour now anyway and we just make sure that even in black & white the plans are readable.
The way that Civil 3D deals with hatching doesn't seem to slow things down for us either.

Apr 24, 2013I have been working on a template (.DWT) for Civil3D 2012. I decided to continue my work recently with a newer vesion C3d 2013, and to my shock there seems to be no way at all to transfer my newer settings (I.E.: default layering, default data bands, newer CODECS, etc to the C3d 2012 version. This is about a week's worth of work that I will have to replicate manually to C3d 2012. I cannot believe that the 2 versions are this completely incompatable.

Apr 9, 2012I Created a Surface Profile along my existing survey alignment (Alignment 1). I copied that to a layout profile. I need to transfer that profile to an alignment I drew approximately 8 ft to the right (with less verticies - Alignment 2).
I created an offset alignment of Alignment 2 - Left 8 ft. I Created a Surface Profile from the 8 ft offset. Using that surface profile along Alignment 2 might be good enough, but I'd prefer to use the surface profile created from Alignment 1 because it represents my high point. I am creating a construction grade x-sec assembly that will run along (or 3-6 inches higher than the existing Centerline). But I want to hold Alignment 2.
I think what I need to do is to be able to hold Alignment 2, but use the Profile generated from Alignment 1 in my Corridor.

Sep 24, 2013As Autodesk has not made changes that prevent excess registered application ID's from spreading from xref to sheets, I am guessing many companies have the issue and do not know it.
Its been a while since I worked with a crowd of highway designers whose attitude was AutoCad was AutoCrud (I was offended too), but I would bet the crop of people doing caltrans work is a bit new to the wild west of dwg issues.
I would encourage some of you out there to try this code on your drawing and see if you get more than say, 4000:
(vla-get-count (vla-get-registeredapplications (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object))))You can also run that on dwg's without opening fully in the editor, if you want to list app id counts for entire projects fast.
Simply cleaning app ids is not good enough to deal with the problem, you must discover where they come from, and catching them dirty is the best way. It alsways some consultant...never H&A though..Maybe if the Caltrans group discovers the issue, we can get movement by Autodesk on a real fix.They have done ok at cleaning tools so far, but its a big waste of time and file space.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Where To Annotate Drawings
Oct 16, 2013I am looking for some general feedback on where the majority of people annotate there drawings. I was in a CAD meeting discussing our new CAD standards that we will be rolling out on Jan 1, 2014. A major improvement I recommended to the plans was to place our annotations in our XREF drawings instead of placing them in model space of our sheet sets. (Our sheet sets are our drawings that have our titlblocks that we plot from ). So, I am asking where do the majority of CAD users like toad annotations to there drawings? PaperSpace, model space, xref’s, etc. and why they do it that way?
I should also state that we are transitioning from 2012 software to Civil3d 2014 software too.

Apr 17, 2013So I have just finished up a project and now need to send the files (all of them, surfaces, alignments, corridor, construction documents, etc) to the client. What is the best way to do this?
I am confused because Civil3d uses Data references that are created based on a folder I specify which the client will not have access to and so on.
I opened my alignment file and did a DXFOUT than went ahead and opened that dxf and saw that there was nothing there?
Could they recreate the stuff I have done using DWFs?? or should I Etransmit?? or what other options do I have?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Best Way To Present Corridors In Drawings
Nov 25, 2013I am new to Civil 3d, and have just completed the first pass on a design that includes several corridors. I am confused on the best way to prepare actual drawings.
I initially thought that plan production would be useful, however it seems that these are fixed. It seems odd that draft drawings cannot be present for review and editing. Is this correct or am I missing something?
It also seems like a huge task to generate the styles required to present the corridor in an appropriate format for a drawing, let alone several drawings that may have different requirements - in particular for a new comer who would not have set up the range of styles.
Therefore I consider two approaches are feasable - XREF the corridor or Extract Polylines.
I now think the best way to prepare drawings is to export polylines of the key components of the corridor and prepare drawings using this. This would be combined with the alignment, pipe and surface data, that can be used in the drawings via Data Short Cuts.
