I have a bit of a problem with Autocad map 3d 2012. When i try to insert a scale bar or a north arrow or any other carthographic element i simply can't find the layout elements that are supposed to be in layout tools tab. I've done a lot of research online and can't come up with anything.

I select "Create Profile View By Layout" in the pulldown to create my vertical road geometry and I get the Profile Layout Tools pop-up but all the buttons are greyed out so I can't do anything with it. I am using C3D 2008.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to know the correct way to find the offset origin of a layout in an AutoCAD drawing. Let say I have a drawing that has many items on it. And I create a layout showing just the items in the lower right corner of the drawing. I want to know the offset origin of this layout relative to the Model space.
I came across some LISP commands that are supposed to do just that:
(vl-load-com)(setq activelayout (vlax-get (vla-Get-ActiveDocument (vlax-Get-Acad-Object)) 'ActiveLayout ))(setq activeplotorig (vlax-get activelayout 'PlotOrigin))
Unfortunately, the commands don't seem to work because it always returns (0.0 0.0). That cannot be right.
I use illustrator for several things.So i really need to use shortcut's.But there is one big problem : I have the english version of illustrator and i have a German keyboard layout.An example :
To blank a shape u use '/' ( English Version )
To blank a shape u use '#' (German Version )
I can't use '/' cause i have to press shift+/ ... I dont know its not working.Can i change the "Shortcut-Layout" and use the German layout ?
I had my first go at GIMP last night following a video I found on YouTube.I managed to make some progress.
The main problem I had was trying to find the layers box which is supposed to appear on the RHS of my screen but is absent. I had a fiddle about with Layers in the options toolbar at the top of the screen but that didn't work.
i have been working on a DWG (c3d 2012) most of the day, and sure enough, after my last edit in Model space, c3d crashed.
i can remain in model space, but once I try on open the only layout tab, c3d hangs and crashes. i was able to create a new layout in the command line and rebuild my layout, but i still cannot open the original tab without a crash. i ran AUDIT and found 2 errors, but if i allow c3d to fix or delete them, c3d crashes. also, if i run PURGE, c3d crashes.
how i can determine what is at fault or a method to maybe even isolate the problem? maybe a trick?
Where should i insert my point tables? In the model or the paper space?
in the paper space it seems that i cannot control the insertion scale?? i set specific letter height that works fine at the model but in paper every time i create a table I see different size depending on the zoom I have.
For some reason our layout tabs keep re-arranging themselves. All of a sudden our sheet 2 ( or what ever) is between tabs for sheets 35 & 36 (or where ever it wants to be).
we use tabs because 45 sheets of images require never ending scrolling. the current tab is never the image shown....they always start at the 1st tab?
when you are on sheet 40 and want to go to 44.....scroll .
Started freezing when selecting a layout tab. Other programs respond but not C3D. Seems to be this one drawing - pretty simple, about 1000 pnts, and a surface so far. When I select the layout tab it switches and I see a few contours but C3D does not respond. First time I have exp this.

Is there any chance to fit plan and profile on one 11x17 layout without exploding and export to dwg? I can't do it because of annotation scale that change every time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedOur firm has finally decided to leave LDC 2009 behind and moving to C3D 2012.I would like to ask a few questions about the way plan and profiles are created with C3D.
In LDC, we would create a full profile that included everything in it, that is proposed and existing centerline elevations and left and right top of curb elevations. Then on the sheet layouts, we would make many viewports that showed the proposed and existing sets, that is centers, lefts and rights. (medians in the example attached)
I've been watching many online videos on how to sample center, left and right and how to create a proposed center line but I can't figure out how to make a proposed left and right profile so that I can control drainage into existing inlets.
I am using 2013 and it wont let me rename the layouts . I have just 10 layouts and it will let me rename one but not the others. The others just flash the little blue color and back to black.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Civil 3D project with piping networks, grading etc. The servicing and grading plans are on layout tabs (5 of each 10 in total). When I would go export layout Civil 3D would go into not responding mode and crash. This caused quit a bit of stress as we had to get the drawings out to meet a deadline.
After investigating this issue, we identified that we had save our layer states in the layer manager. Delete the viewport on the layout tabs, draw a new viewport and then reinstate the layer states for each layout. This resolved, the crashing issue.

My layout tabs are missing. How do you get them back?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI clicked "Hide Model and Layout Tabs" to see what it would do, and now I can't get them back. Not only did I lose them in that drawing, I lost the tabs in EVERY drawing and EVERY version of C3D. I googled the problem and every forum says the same things, and I've tried them without success:
Options >> Display >> Layout elements >> Display Layout and Model Tabs
CUI >> Workspace Properties >> Model/Layout Tabs >> On
I'm lacking a couple of icons on the lower tray to the right of the Model/Paper button.
The baffling thing is that I've lost the tabs on ALL versions of C3D. Is there a magical command line entry that will bring back my beloved tabs?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI am working on creating a set of plans and have a couple of note pages that are generic and will not need to be change. I am creating a template with layers, layout tabs, styles, etc. I am trying to put these notes straight into a layout tab just simply by pasting them in there. The issue I am having is with the hatching on a couple of objects, the hatches appear correctly right off. When I save the drawing and reopen the hatches are a solid block, regen does not fix this. I can however explode the hatch and then undo the explode command and it appears correctly. Is there a way I can make the hatches appear correct everytime?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have created an alignment, and have the stationing labels on a different layer than the actual alignment linework. I have frozen the layer with the alignment on it in a viewport, but not the layer with the labels. However, when I regen, the labels disappear. I need to have the labels visible, and the linework off.
