We recently learned that the AutoCAD Civil 3D R2014 Bridge Module has a license check that results in the utility no longer working after July 1, 2013. This appears to be an installation artifact from when this was an Autodesk Labs project.
A replacement version is available for Infrastructure Design Suite – Premium/Ultimate subscribers on subscription center. Note that you’ll need to uninstall the original version before installing the updated build. There are no changes to the core utility itself - just the license date verification.
So, just installed the Suite Ultimate version and couldn't find anywhere in Civil 3D 2014 some icon/window to use both... Help file and 'What's New' doesn't even mention the new features.
We were talking a while back, about the apparent demise of the Output Module in Bridge CC. In case this slipped you by, John Nack blogged this info a couple of days ago: URL....
We recently updated our servers and with that the path to all of our drawings. For example what was once located at W:FilesAutoCAD is now located at W:CorporateAutoCADDrawings. The problem is every time we open an old drawing for the first time we must redirect all of the xrefs to the new location. My question is, is there any way to do this automatically for all drawings when they are opened? Is there a way to tell the software to replace "FilesAutoCAD " with "CorporateAutoCADDrawings"? I'm sure others have encountered this dilemma.
I am having an issue with alignments not updating to the latest source drawing. Initially, the alignment source drawing was in File1.dwg. Due to a design change, a few of the alignments were revised in a new File2.dwg. For the first time ever, I used the Data Shortcuts Editor program to repoint the data shortcuts to the new File2 location. By all accounts, it looks like the data shortcut were updated to the new source drawing (File2).
The problem is in some files some of the alignments still source to the File1 location and even when manually synchronizing it still sources from File1. Additionally, it seems random in terms of which alignment and files source to File2, even to the point in some files one alignment will update to File2 and other won't and some alignments will update in some files but not all. Note that I am not the original creator of the files so I don't know much history on the files (no alignments seem promoted however).
What’s the best way for me to get all the alignments to point to the new data shortcut source drawing location?
Just upgraded to CS5.1 I see contact sheet II has changed and is handled by Bridge / Output module.I don't like that you can't print directly from Bridge, but have to save as a pdf, then reopen the doc and print from Reader or PS.I can only hope that changes.
I created a custom layout in Bridge, 3.9 inch x3.9 inch at 300ppi. 3 across and 3 down. Made the contact sheet, saved as pdf. Opened in CS5.1Here's the problem. The document which is suposed to be 3.9.x3.9 (square) is actually 3.092 inch x 2.318 inch (not square!).
The reason for the problem is that I drag and drop the contact sheet onto another document template (it has logo, name, etc.) to print. The other document is 4.5" x 4.5" So the contact pdf doesn't fit the template. (This used to work great in CS3 as you didn't have to save the contact sheet as it was created. It was a layered doc which you could drag onto another doc / template.) I can't see any reason the contact sheet would not be the same as created in Bridge / output mod. when opened up in CS5

where is the Bridge Modeler for revit and civil3d ?ı look the "labs" links... ı only find empty website page (link deleted or updated)how ,can we get bridge modeler version 2012 or 2013 ? (when , where....?? ) ı have building design suite 2013 premium but there is no bridge modeler..
Seems it takes forever to respond to changing styles/views/visual styles etc and Civil 3D goes into the classic dimmed screen and "Not Responding" mode.

I'm totally new in Civil 3D. I'm using 3D laser scanner to measure and lately draw 3D "as build" models of tunnels, bridges etc. So now I have 3D model of bridge, which is simply created with layers, 3d faces, boxes etc. - primitive ACAD 3D modelling.
Now I want to create sections on multiple stacions. How to start? Is there any step by step tut with this feature?
I have recently installed Civil 3D 2013 "Gobal - Bridge Modeler "from the Productivity Tools page in subscription centre.
Add-in appeared to installed sucessfully and tab added to Civil 3D ribbon but features do not work. Selecting a bridge type I am given following error message, "Your Evaluation Period has Expired on ...2010".
Software was only purchased relatively recently therefore this should not be the case.
I'm trying to figure out how to make a skewed corridor region for a bridge project (just one assembly I need to skew) the rest of the corridor is split into regions, the approach slabs and bridge deck assemblies are at about a 30 degree angle to the alignment.
For some reason images in the library module aren’t as sharp compared to the develop module. If I’m in develop images are nice and sharp but as soon as I select the library you can see the image quality drop and image becomes less blurry!
Sharpening applied in develop module is not shown when switching back to library module. It looks the problem occurs when having size to "FIT". With 1:1 there seams to be no issue. Export also looks fine in 1:1.
I use Mac 10.9.1, LR5.3, Nikon NEF 24Mbit from D600.
I am running LR4 ver4.3. All of a sudden I receied an error message stating cannnot switch to module. I have tried all the usual stuff before going out to the web to look for fixes. On adobe's site they recommended 6 things which I did exactly as instructed and still nothing..I am running iMac mountain lion and everything on my computer is up to date.
After making changes to an image (sharpening, exposure, contrast, etc, etc) in the develop module, when I head over to the library module, the image does not show the latest changes. What's worse is when I export a JPG of the image, it exports the original! What's the point in having LR?
When I move photos from the develop module to the web module they get a garish/reddish look . I want the photos in slide shows to look like they do in the Develop module. How do I do that?
R2013 is stating on start up that the Geotechnics module has been loaded and displays the Tab for it.But I haven't installed the Geotechnics module for 2013 yet and it doen't work.
What would cause a layer manager to NOT be updated after code has been run to freeze or thaw layers in a viewport? After I run my program, the viewports will show the layers I want thawed and will hide the layers I want frozen, but when you look at the layer manager, it would show all layers are on and thawed.
If you save the drawing, close it and re-open it, the layer manager now seems fine and matches the viewports as to what is thawed and what is frozen.
I have programmatically created a block, which resembles the protective tube schematically drawn. The block consists of two ellipses of connected the two lines. This block tries to modify (also programmable). The modification consists of changing the position of the ellipse and the length of the line. Everything (almost) goes smoothly, until the pipe extends beyond its original length. The changes are visible, but I'm not able to pick the block beyond its original contour. So I can pick out such lines, if picked point is on the original length, but beyond its original length is not already. The same applies to the ellipse. The situation returned to normal, if I tried stretch the block (base point) or command _move. Regeneration of the model does not work.
I throw a piece of
using( Transaction tr = doc.TransactionManager.StartTransaction() ){//Block?Entity ent = tr.GetObject( per.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead ) as Entity;(...)BlockReference blRef = ent as BlockReference;(...)Ellipse ell1 = null;Ellipse ell2 = null;Line line1 = null;Line line2 = null;BlockTableRecord btr = tr.GetObject( blRef.BlockTableRecord, OpenMode.ForRead ) as BlockTableRecord;foreach( ObjectId entId in btr ) [Code] .........
Why is it that a change to geometry in the xref'd drawing will update immediately but a layer properties change will not.
I've tried re-loading via the external reference dialogue and even closing the main drawing and re-opening, all to no avail. Only detaching the xref'd drawing and re-loading it from scratch seems to completely update everything.
It isn't always convenient to edit the xref in-place, so I usually open the xref separately and apply the edits there, but as mentioned above, even though I get the balloon notification informing me of the xref changes, nothing seems to happen.
Like I said, this only appears to happen when I change layer properties, and so far I feel convinced that it's either a setting or me missing some hugely fundamental procedure.
On a different station, a component was checked oud, altered (100mm became 110mm), the corresponding dwg was also checked out and updated, and then everything was checked in.
Now i have an assembly that contains the part that was modified, but i still have the old version of it stored locally, as well as the assembly containing the part. Now when i open the assembly, i get the message stating some components had changed and that the assembly should be updated. After selecting YES to update the assembly, i get it on screen, but the part itself had not been updated. The vault tree now does show that i don't have the latest version though (red filled circle). In order to get the part to appear correctly, i need to manually select "refresh from vault" to get the correct version.
After selecting the YES i want to update the assembly I expect the parts to be updated properly without requiring additional manual actions. This has already resulted in out-of-date drawings to hit the production floor. Obviously, THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN!
I know one way to overcome this issue would be to delete the local source files after having used them, but i have lost plenty of work by allowing that setting to be enabled. (IV crash during check-in resulted in deletion or corruption of the files and they were not properly checked in.)
Should i log this issue or is there a solution available i failed to find?
I have operated AutoCAD2011 for at least a couple years with no issues. last week i received a few automatic updates from Windows, and now AutoCAD won't open. what can i do?
purchased the 5.5-upgrade to 6.0 Designpremium. Everything seems to work properly except the bridge, wich won't start as stand-alone - works only as Mini-bridge inside photoshop.
While trying to start the bridge from photoshop ("go to bridge") results in a bridge's crash...
In my former installations (5.0 and 5.1) everything was ok ...
