AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Vault Can't Be Used Inside Prospector
Feb 21, 2013
I encounter problems to organize my work. I don't understand some actual C3D behaviors. Every time I open C3D I have :
- An empty drawing1 I always have to delete .... ???????????
- Automatic last survey working folder open. Ok, it is well.
- All the drawing templates I need, Ok . it is well.
I have to open manually my drawing / drawings. In case I have to open more than 1 file (and they have to be placed at the same folder....), C3D open all of them (regardless of whether it be neccesary....) . So I have to wait and see how flies fly ..It seems that Vault can be a solution. Basic Vault can't be used inside prospector (This is what C3D says...)
Imagine I'm working with 3 or 4 projects. Every time I have to work with one of them, have I to do a stupid work (open and set folders) that can be produce errors and problems ? I have to create a VBA dialog to make this work.....

The firm that I currently work for has placed the Content Center inside the Vault. Why would you place the Content Center inside the Vault and not simply on a shared network drive and then have the computed Content Center parts in the Vault? Wouldn't there be any bandwidth issue using this Content Center setup? Is there a better location to place the Vault?

I created a miscellaneous alignment and everything came out exactly how I wanted it to show. But I do not see this alignment in my prospector tab. I see the other centerline alignments, but when I click on Miscellaneous Alignments I do not see my alignment. It does not even have a plus box to expand. I have saved my drawing a couple times and still nothing.
I even changed it from miscellaneous to offset just to see if that had any relation to the issue, but it still does not come up in the prospector tab.

i created a profile by layout in an existing profile view and it will not show up in prospector view. I also cannot turn the profile off in the profile view because it's not in the profile list when i go to profile view properties. I have multiple profiles, profile views, alignments etc. I cannot find it anywhere in toolspace, but i can select in model space and edit.

I was wondering what is the difference between importing points under the Prospector tab versus importing points under the Suvey tab? And how either of the two methods relate to using Data Shortcut?
I would like to create a survey topo drawing that contains points and surface information which other Design drawings that are attached to the Data Shortcut project can access but not be able to make any changes to the original points and existing surface information.

I have an existing drawing that I have picked cogo points for survey layout about 3 weeks ago. Now when I open the drawing the points show up on the screen, but they are not in the prospector. Where did they go? What do I need to do to get them back in the prospector?

Why the sample lines don’t appear on the prospector?
I’m wondering why the sample lines don’t appear on the prospector like other components such that we can have an access to delete them, for example.
How can I get a list for all the sample lines?

We have a template that opens with extra Prospector items. For example, we have point groups Design Points, Design Points.1, Design Points.2, etc etc. See attached image. We have gone into the template and deleted all of the duplicate items.
When we use the template, it creates all of these duplicate things again and the template has the items again.how to permanently remove these items?

I dragged a surface style from another drawing into the drawing I am having issues with. The Issue is that after inserting the style the Prospector and Settings are not expandable. The Prospector check box is grayed out and there are dots in front of the Settings tab.
Basically I can't expand either the Prospector or the Setting to edit surfaces, alignments, styles, etc.

I have a drawing that contains an alignment and 2 profiles (existing and proposed). Call this File A.
I created data shortcuts for these 3 objects and reference them in many drawings.
Last week File A was having some problems, it was inexplicably large and seemed to have some corruption I couldn't fix. So I created a new drawing, call it File B, and promoted the alignment and profiles into it.
I used Data Shortcut Editor to point the data shortcuts to File B. In drawings that already referenced these objects they look like the they are coming through just fine.
The problem is that I can't see the profiles listed in the Data Shortcuts section of prospector. The shortcuts folder selected is correct, the xml file is there, it points to File B. The alignment is listed and I can create that reference in a new drawing. I also can't find anything wrong with File B.

Some times I note the lack of a top warning-icon placed on top of prospector folder.
The idea is, for example, that in case I had a corridor out of date I dont see this "situation" until I navigate up to the corridors/corridor item, so I can forget easily the rebuild need. The posibility to see this icon near the name of my drawing should be very useful.

When a file has many surfaces, gradings and sites manually delete them is slow ¿is there a method to select multiple sites, surfaces and gradings on prospector and delete them all at once and not one by one?

There are many examples of creating rectangular patterns, but not many, if any, of interrogating existing patterns.I have attached the files and a screenshot of a rectangular part inside an assembly. The part contains a rectangular pattern of holes and workplanes.how do I get hold of each proxy of the workplane in the pattern?In other words I don't know what to put in the for loop at the end of this code fragment:
If _invApp.Documents.Count = 0 Then MsgBox("Need to open an the assembly document") ReturnEnd If If _invApp.ActiveDocument.DocumentType <> DocumentTypeEnum.kAssemblyDocumentObject Then MsgBox("Need to have an Assembly document active") ReturnEnd If Dim asmDoc As Assembly Document asmDoc = _invApp.ActiveDocument Dim asmDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition asmDef = asmDoc.ComponentDefinition im occurrences As ComponentOccurrencesoccurrences.

I have a project in vault (v2011), with surfaces, etc. data referenced into a sheet (neglect workflow for the moment) that displays correctly, print preview's correctly, but when plotted does not show the surface contours of any surface. Additionally, some contour labels and spot labels display CORRECTLY while some spot labels are ??? and some contour labels are not visible.
By the way, the surfaces are in different source files.

Today I happen to be checking in and out many drawings. All display the cogo points message at the lower left corner, and all are taking 4 minutes to check in. UNREASONABLE! Especially when I have five minutes of work to do in each drawing.

Is there any way to export blocks INSIDE of another dwg?
Background info:
At my company, we have a series of template .dwgs that get copied every time a new project is created. We update the template files as we create new blocks, styles, etc...
When I'm working in a specific project and create a useful block, it would be nice to export that into the template file without having to open the template drawing and insert/redefine it.

I'm modeling a couple different alternatives, and I want to make an inside mask on EG where my FG surface will be.
Is my workflow the problem, or are surface masks just buggy?
I've created three EG surfaces, EG-1, EG-2, and EG-3. I pasted the dref'd EG into each one, so now I have three copies of EG, one for each design option. Each surface is on its own layer.
I have three FG surfaces, one for each design, FG-1, FG-2, FG-3. I want to use the outer border of each FG in turn to make an inside mask for its respective EG surface. I can make one, masking FG-1 out of EG-1. When I move on and try to make the mask for FG-2 to mask EG-2, no mask is created. Is it not working because I pasted the same original EG into each of the three EG option surfaces? Do I need to promote the original dref'd EG and copy it two more times, so each mask is applied to a completely unique surface?

I'm working in Civil 3D 2012 and I have an alignment going through 3 DI's and a MH. When I say to draw this in profile view the pipes end inside the DI sometimes. Not at the middle but inside it even though my DI has a near 0 wall and floor thickness. The place where the pipe ends is where the edge of the DI should be but it is being shown outside that for some reason. What can I do? I inserted an image. The piece that I drew that is supposed to be a DI in profile view is rotated wrong.

how to fix the inside / outside corners of right angle corridor?
Im doing a embankment lift and the client wants the corners neatly and not curved or champers.
Also the outside corner should not curve. I can do it with gradings or futurelines, but if there is a design change i have to redo everything.

I have a need to find the lowest elevation inside of a small rectangular polygon (6'x7'), then assign the polygon to that elevation. This is fairly easily done manually with feature lines, however I need to repeat the operation about 3,000 times to create a design grid (therefore, not obliged to using all of the design budget to do so).
I employed the GIS department to run the analysis, which they can do, however they can't rotate the DEM grid output to match my project because it doesn't run parallel to north/south, thus skewing the results.

How do I delete the AutoCad block symbols that are stored inside my drawing?
Not blocks that have been created that you can see on your drawing it’s the blocks that the point styles use and are stored in the drawing.

I am currently trying to produce a canalisation system for a sanitary sewer. Trying to add my structure, I find myself unable to specify a specific inside diameter for the structure (the smaller listed being 1 200 mm, whilst mine is 900 mm).

When creating cross section views ("Home>Section Views>Create Multiple Views"), my sections are being placed at the exact boundary of the viewport (viewport is per my template).
Surely there's a way to create a margin inside the viewport.
Here's a screen shot of what I'm seeing. Notice how the dotted "Plot Area Boundary line is going right thru the left axis labels and on top of the bottom axis blue line (which means the bottom axis labels will NOT be seen).

I created a pipe network from a object (alignment wLpolyline) I want to set my inverts at the inside edge
of my SDMH not the center. I go into Edit Pipe Networks then the vista (table). I don't see a option to do that.
Is there a setting in the SDMH structure style or somewhere else?
As an example I come in at 6250.0 at inside a 48" MH and go out at 6251.0 at other side of MH.
I wanted to use a catch basin that shows the depressed curb & lip like the one in the Pipe Network Video
but it not in my parts Library even when I create a full parts list it still isn't there. Is ther a way to go on line and download part structures?

I have this strange situation.. i use the Arial font inside my cad drawings and when i print my paperspace layout, the text inside the viewport is a little bit more "bold" then the text i put directly on paper space.
Maybe it's a trick to know what text is placed where, but i want all this to be uniform, same thickness. Is there a system variable to correct that issue?
See the image below: It's a 400 DPI scan from an impression i did.
Up to COUPE C1 is the text inside the viewport, under COUPE C1is the paperspace text. Both are the same height... but difference tickness.

I really enjoy this new draw inside feature in Illustrator. But, I find that it does not always work. It seems to be grayed out sometimes. For example, I have drawn a shape with my Wacom tablet using a blush. I then converted it to a shape instead of keeping it a stroke by expanding it. But it will not allow me to now draw inside of it, even though it is a shape.
