Dec 3, 2013I need to project a surface/grading (or something of that nature) across my berm and have it intersect with the inside bank. This is better explained if you see the attached image. In the plan view you see 4 featurelines. Outside TOE, outside TOB, inside TOB then inside TOE. I need to project the outside TOE across the berm (shown in the section view) then create a new featureline where the line and inside slope of the berm intersect. Note that all the elevation shots vary as does the widths across the berm. What's the best way to do this?

Oct 11, 2012I need to extract the XY location of a surface label. Specifically, I am trying to determine the coordinates of the first picked point in a two-point slope label. But in looking at the IAeccSurfaceSlopeLabel interface in the ActiveX documentation, I'm not seeing where this data is stored. Even for a simple surface spot elevation label (IAeccSurfaceElevationLabel) I don't see a property that stores the coordinates.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Use Layer Group Filters For Layer Translation (LAYTRANS)?
Oct 2, 2013A drawing with hundreds of layers should be simplified for our customer by decreasing the numbers of and renaming the layers (there is yet no target file existing). In order to solve this, I generated group filters and assigned every single layer to them (all printing properties are assigned to objects). The layer groups show the desired layer structure after the transformation (still a three-digit number).
Unfortunately, the LAYTRANS dialog doesn't let me choose layers by group filters or remarks. It seems as all the work was for the birds.
Is there any way to translate my layers using filters or remarks?
I use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: MEP 2013 Layer Dialog - Layer Pane Not Updating To Selected Filters
Jan 18, 2013I'm having issues with Civ3d 2013. I pushed off upgrading from 2012 because of the format change and the service pack release. I was hoping little glitches would be fixed.
Here are the a couple of glitches to date that I have seen no resolution to in the long list of threads.
1. Layer filters do not filter, unless I have checked "Apply filter to toolbar". The problem is, I dont want to apply them to the toolbar.
2. Publishing to PDF - when set to lines merge (set in the page layout and the publish setting), the wipeouts dont work, and the background masks on leaders makes a faint border around the text in the PDF. When set to overwrite, to get the wipeouts to not print to the PDF as a big black blob, they have to be on a layer set to color 255. I can work around most of the wipeouts, except for dimensions because the background mask doesn't seem to take.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Can Have 1 Layer Of Points And 1 Layer Of Lines
Aug 30, 2013I used PENZD file that has 8 points (4 locations with 2 depths in each location) to create a Point dwg that has several annotations I made. Then I used the
"Lines/Curves" => "Create Lines" by "Point # Range" to create 6 sets of lines:
Line Set #1 that connects Points 1-3-5-7-1,
Line Set #2 that connects Points 2-4-6-8-2,
Line Set #3 that connects Points 1-2,
Line Set #4 that connects Points 3-4,
Line Set #5 that connects Points 5-6,
Line Set #6 that connects Points 7-8.
The annotaions for the 8 points are gone, after I completed the creation of the Lines. I wonder whether I can create 2 layers in the AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013: 1 layer for the 8 points with my annotations attached and 1 layer for the lines I created from the 8 points.

View 7 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Map 3D :: Determine Unknown Tangent
Feb 14, 2011Sometime in the past, I've drawn an arc, probably using an old deedplotting program, and imported it into Map3D.
I now have a new parcel that I'm plotting, and need to obtain the tangent of an arc on the parcel's perimeter.
Typically I draw a line, as close to the tangent as I'm able, and then toy with the bearings until I get it as close as I can.
This is a counter-productive means of finding the tangent bearing of an arc, and I'd really like to find a better way of doing this.
Is there a succint manner that I can pull a tangent line off an existing arc?
Using osnap this afternoon I thought I could do it, with the extension, but in testing it later, I found it was off by a good 2 or 3 degrees. While indeed a minor variance, I'd like to find a better way.
AutoCAD .NET :: Determine Units Of A Property?
Oct 24, 2012I am selecting items and grabbing their DBObjects, and then reflecting on those objects to inspect properties of the object. For example, I might have a DBObject that is actually of type Pipe, Duct, DuctFitting, Line, etc, so I am using TypeDescriptor reflection to handle various cases in as abstract a way as possible.
My first question is this: Is this the smartest way to grab all of the attributes of a give object? Is there another call I can make the retrieve all of the attributes for a Pipe and a Line (to very different types of objects).
Second, when I see a property named Length and it is a double I know it has to be a length and that I can use the units from the drawing. Is there a way to programatically discover this other than the name of the property and its type (double)? In other words is there some metadata I could retrieve about any given property against which I am reflecting, or is there a smarter way to get these attributes which might provided said metadata?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Using Interference To Determine Cut Shape?
Mar 1, 2013Is there a way to use interference checks to determine what material needs to be subtracted away from other parts to get the clearance needed? (See Attached) The way I typically handle this is to project the lines from one part onto the sketch of another and proceed accordingly, however as you can see, it didn't work out well in this instance as the face of the part in question is not parallel with the sketch plane in the other..Therefore making the cut location inaccurate.

I need to be able to, at a minimum, detect this condition, then switch back to full paper space (i.e. de-activate the viewport) if possible.

Jul 25, 2012How to display the annotations properly. Perhaps this may just be a display or view setting but I beleive I have checked them all at least 3 times =).
Even in the video he explains all the things explained here but does not explain exactly how to make the dims and ext lines notate and display properly, in model or paper view (view port). I have tried many ways to create a view port in paper space and annotation several dimensions. I constantly get different text sizes and ext line scaled differently within the same view port.....even after I have locked it.
I am also confused about notating dims in the model space within the paper space view port vs on the paper space outside of the model space view port? Perhaps this has something to do with my issues?
Again it may be because I don't understand another function/setting impacting this well enough yet?? I have tried/used every variable in the Dimension Style Manager on the Lines, Text and Fit tabs to no avail.
