AutoCAD Civil 3D :: XML Parcel Legal Description Errors

Oct 12, 2010

While generating a General Legal Description for Parcels xml report for a parcel with numerous tangent curves, reverse curves and compound curves, the report labels all of them as non-tangent.Also, I write my legal descriptions for curves by citing the bearing and distance OUT to the radius from the beginning of the curve, but the routine gives me the bearing and distance IN from the radius. It is using the code {curveStartDirection}.

Is there a different code I can use that would give me the opposite bearing? Is there some resource that lists all these codes for parcels?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Drafting From A Legal Description?

Oct 10, 2012

I have to draft a lot of existing lots and easements from legal descriptions and recorded map documents. Does Civil 3D have an option to enter metes and bounds (bearing and distances into a table format and then "autodraft" from the entries in that table?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Legal Description For Parcels?

Jun 24, 2013

was showing it off in class and it's always worked before but now it's not working on any of the computers. Just tried it on my laptop with the same results. I originally thought it was an issue with 2014 but 2013 isn't working either (and I know it was working in the past).

The only thing I can think of is my computer recently upgraded to IE10. Could that be it?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Spaced Direction On General Legal Description

Jul 1, 2013

I am close to getting my general legal the way i want. The only thing i hope to change now is the way the bearing is shown. it currently spits out as 89degrees 50minutes 50seconds. I simply want to add a space between the number and callout.

Example:

89 degrees 50 minutes 50 seconds.

I cant seem to find this setting.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Get Tangent Or Radial Bearing To Show Up In Legal Description Writer?

Mar 18, 2013

How to get a tangent bearing or radial bearing to show up in the legal description writer?  All I can get are their opposites.  Is there some code that I can add that will swap their direction (say NE for a SW)? 

The convention out here (OR/WA) is to show a radial bearing (from the PC to the radius point) or a tangent bearing (into the beginning of a curve) for any non-tangent curves.  So far, I haven't been able to figure out how to do this automatically. 

Also, any good guide or list of variables for using the Parcel Reporting for legal descriptions in c3d?  I really want to know what ALL the different pieces of data are that I can use in the legal writer, and how to manipulate them.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 - Parcel Properties-Description Is Not Shown In DWG

Sep 26, 2013

In my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, I created a parcel from 4 lines. I selected the parcel (Property : 1) to get the Properties tab and edited the Style of my parcel: (i) changed Property : 1 to NewLOT : 1 in Name. (ii) added 22.5 mg/Kg Arsenic; 33.6 mg/Kg Lead; 66.9 mg/Kg Mercury to Description.  In the drawing area, NewLOT : 1 appears, but, there are no 22.5 mg/Kg Arsenic, 33.6 mg/Kg Lead, 66.9 mg/Kg Mercury shown up below the NewLOT: 1 line - see the attached file. how to bring the chemical data from the Description of my parcel to the drawing area.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Properties Of Parcel In Information And Description?

Sep 25, 2013

I have tried to edit the Properies of Parcel in Information and Description by using the following 2 methods:

Method #1: I started with Settings in Toolspace => work on Parcel Style and Label Style for setting up the desired data I want to input. Then I went to Prospector in Toolspace => Sites => Site 1 => Parcels => Property : 1 for editing the desired data.

Method #2: On the drawing area, I selected the created Parcel object by clicking on the Property : 1 to get the Properties tab. Then I edited the Information - Style, Parcel Area Label Style, Name. I went to Prospector => Sites => Site 1 => Parcels => Property : 1 => Information - Descrition for adding the desired data.

My questions:

Q1.  Did Method #2 change any thing in the Settings in Toolspace?

Q2.  What is advantage in each Method?

Q3. In the Settings for Method #1, I saw the following items:

Parcel

User-Pefined Property Classifications

Parcel Styles

Label Styles

Table Styles

Commands

What are User-Defined Property Classifications, Table Styles, and Commends for?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: 2013 - Editing Properties Of Parcel In Information And Description

Sep 24, 2013

In the DWG of my AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 project, I just created a parcel manually - see the first attched file. It had "Property : 1" on the original DWG, when I created.

I selected this parcel => Properties tab =>Information =>Style:Create/Edit=>Parcel Styleroperty=>Design=>Parcel name template=> Name Template/ Name: <[Parcel Style Name (CP)]>:<[Parcel Number]> was changed to SHC Lot: <[Parcel Number]> to get the new parcel name "SHC Lot : 1" on the DWG successfully - see the second attached file.

I tried to add some chemical results (23.5 mg/kg Arsenic; 66.7 mg/kg Lead; 88.9 mg/kg Mercury) into the parcel. So I selected this parcel => Properties tab => Information => Parcel Area Label Style: Create/Edit =>Parcel Name: => Layout / Label Style Composer/Component name: Parcel Name =>Text: Contents <[Name(CP)]>

I clicked on the "Arrow" sign to bring the <[Description]> into the right-hand-side of Text Component Editor - Contents. I don't know how to finish this step and how to close the "Properties of Parcel" tab on the left-hand-side of the DWG (The selection of Parcel is still on). How to finish the last step and how to close the "Properties of Parcel" tab.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Object Layer Line Under Parcel Style And Plotting

Aug 26, 2013

I have a record plat drawing with multiple parcels and parcel styles. For my lands of the grantors I view port froze the lots and right of way layers from my parcel styles. I don’t want to show them in this viewport. To my surprise the lines show up in the object layer we have set for parcels.  This was not the case in 2011. We are in 2014 with the first hotfix update. I understand putting the parcel styles in the object layer, but why another mysterious line under it? I did create parcels from objects, but had them erased when I created them. This did not matter either way. Is there a way to get rid of them? I did put them in a new layer, set it to “No Plot” This kept them from plotting, but I really don’t want to have to take the time to do it.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Labeling Outside Of Parcel?

Oct 17, 2012

When creating and labelling a parcel Autocadd Civil 3d places a label in an adjoining area outside of the intended parcel.

The label seems ubrelated to the intended parcel and is labelled with a diferent parcel number, area, etc.. No additional parcel boundaries seem to be created.

Have created a closed polyline for parcel creation as well as a number of other steps to ensure that there are no breaks in the enclosed parcel.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Raw description Not Within Description Key

Oct 21, 2011

we are updating fron LDD 2004 to Civil 3D 2012 needles to say it a huge change. I've got my template almost done I'm just having one problem. With LDD any point that came in with a raw descripitoin not within the description key it would be placed in the current layer with point number, descripton and elevation. How do I make that happen with Civil3D do I have to change my default lable settings? When I import points with a raw description not within my description key it places the point on Layer 0 and only shows the node no point number.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: General Legal Phrasings - XML

Jun 12, 2012

I am using Civil 3D 2012. I am executing the reports General_Legal_Description_for_Alignments and _for_Parcels.

Through some research I was able to figure out where to adjust the precision. I was also able to learn that editing GeneralLegalPhrasings.XML is where I would format the wording.

But, the changes I make to GeneralLegalPhrasings.XML are not being reflected in the reports generated.

For example, Civil 3D defaults a line course to something like this: Thence N DEG MIN SEC E a distance of X.XX feet.

I edited all the mete type = "line" to read as follows: N DEG MIN SEC E, X.XX feet, thence

Here is an example of one of the lines: <Mete type="Point" connect="Line">{lineDirection}, {lineDistanceFoot} feet, thence  </Mete>

They all look like this, except the type and connect values change.

But there is no change in the output.

Photoshop :: Can't Print Legal-size Image To Legal-size Paper

Oct 26, 2013

I go through a lot of sketch stages to get to a final picture, and I sometimes print on legal paper. My Brother printer does fine at that with Apple Pages, MSWord, Acrobat, and Illustrator, but with Photoshop there's a problem. I set up a legal-size image in PS, go through all the settings I can find for printing to a non-letter-format sheet, hit print, and what I get is a letter-size patch of image on a legal-size sheet. Clearly, either I am missing something or PS is missing something.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Labels In Layouts

Apr 4, 2013

On a road project I have an acquisition parcel that is matched across 2 viewports on one layout. I would usually slide the parcel label so it's only visible on one layout. Then I'd add a second label that would be visible on the second layout.

This line happens to cross the viewport near the end. If I add a label in the lower viewport that looks reasonable. It will overlap in to the upper viewport. I can drag the label to very near the end of the line but it doesn't look right there. I don't think it's good procedure to try and force one parcel label on to it's own layer so it can be frozen in that one viewport.

Any technique for handling this situation?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Custom Parcel Report

Oct 24, 2012

I copied the General Legal Description report and renamed it.  When I ran the report, it asked me to save the file Civil.html before opening it.  If I run the OOTB report it does not ask me to save the page before opening it.  Is this something that I can fix?  I have not found a setting anywhere that changes this.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Area Not Shown

Oct 21, 2013

I am new to C3D and I have been going through all of the tutorials and learning everything I can from the given data, which has been amazingly useful.  Everything has been running spot on except today when I was going throughtthe parcels tutorial, I applied Parcel Number and Area to a group of parcels I created via the tutorial dwg file "Parcle-1A".  Everything displays correctly except the Area is not shown as it does in the sample pic.  I have applied the "Parcel Number And Area" to the Area Label Style, but it still does not display the area.  Only the Parcel Number.  Is there some part of this process that I am overlooking?  The tutorial dwg file is called "Parcel-1A".  It was too large to attach, but you can find all of the tutorial dwg files via the Help Menu.  It depends on your OS to where they are located.

If you go under Parcels Tutorial>Exercise 1: Creating Parcels from AutoCAD Objects, you can see exactly what I am working with.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Parcel Style - Name Template

Mar 8, 2012

I would like to have my parcels be able to label the lots with sometihng other than the Lot # given by the setup of the parcel itself. What i'd like to be able to do is have it label Outlot A - which I haven't been able to figure out to date.

How can I get the parcel style to use something other than the word Lot or a number (given the typical lot is a number). We have various reasons why Outlot A is a needed label. How does one go about getting C3D to use something other than the name template in parcel style. I can toggle the name template option off once I create the parcel. But, when I toggle it off - then go to the name and change it to Outlot A - the parcel label still shows as Lot 1. Why?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Edit Parcel Curve

Aug 7, 2012

I don't have much experience with parcels. We don't subdivide property. But I have to do some Acquisition maps and this is the first time I've had an opportunity to do them in Civil 3D.

I wont get in to the gory detail, but I created some parcels that were very slightly off for rotation. It turned out there were some distance problems too. I thought I would just rotate the parcel based on a couple of known corners and then snap to corners I had from a drawing in the correct system.

Mostly that worked. But now I have a curve that isn't tangent because the far end of one of the tangents was adjusted. Also, somehow, the radius is off. I'm only talking about a couple of thousands of a foot, but I'd like to make it right since it has to be edited anyway. I've tried the parcel editing tools from the ribbon and read some of the sections in help that I thought might apply. I haven't been able to adjust the curve.

So now after all the warm-up, my questions. Can I just erase that curve and use the parcel creation tools to add a new curve? Will that curve automatically be added to the correct parcel? Is there anyway to modify the existing curve to be tangent to the revised lines? IOW What's the best way to proceed?

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Calculating Average Parcel Area

May 16, 2013

Any quick way of calculating average Parcel Area?  I used to export to LandXML and do an area report in CSV.  That doesn't seem to be working for me when I export out of C3D 2012.

The workaround I found was to select all the parcels in Prospector, copy to clip board, paste in excel, find and replace "_Sq. Ft._" with 0, then do the average.

I have managed to create a user defined category within my [User-Defined Property Classification] and then create categories within that classification.

The problem I'm having is that I want to be able to see those classifications in prospector so that I can sort based on those values, and then batch assign styles. How to display the classifications.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using 4 Points To Create 4 Lines And 1 Parcel
