I have a single drawing that when it is opened with regular AutoCAD (2009), it looses the imageclip every time. If it is opened with Civil 3D (2009), it's fine. The AutoCAD machine can open other drawings without this happening, so I'm thinking it's something drawing dependent.
Audit/purge does not useful.

I'm working in C3D 2013. When I try to use the "invert clip" option in the IMAGECLIP command, it keeps clipping everyting outside the boundary rather than inside. I've tried both tiffs and jpegs. I've tried attaching the image through the xref manager. I've tried dragging the image into the file. I've also tried just using the CLIP command. It works on my coworker's computer.

My select similar is also affected. I have this problem for a few days and then it goes away. After a few weeks, it comes back.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI needed to check some vehicle turning movements against my design, so I started Civil 3d from the AutoTurn icon. As I was working I noticed that I don't have any Tooltips anymore. I've checked the global tooltip settings in the Civil3d settings, and the Autocad options, and also the tooltip settings for individual objects.
I also found that the glyphs which should appear when snaps are turned on aren't visible, although the snaps do work properly. Once I had finished with the vehicle checks I shut down, and then restarted from the Civil3d icon but the behavior hasn't changed back to normal. I've also tried repairing the installation - next step will be a full reinstall.
I updated software from Civil 3D, 2011 to 2012, a while back. Recently I went back to print a drawing created in 2011 and found that the plot styles that I had made were no longer there. Is there a way to get these plot styles back? I already uninstalled C3D 2011.

On one of the machines here we seem to have lost the functionality of the layer filters. When a group filter is created, it shows in the list, you can add layers to the filter, but when you view the filtered layers, its all the layers. Also, when there are unreconciled layers and you navigate to this filter, it shows the entire layer list. Is there some setting that may have been changed?

Our server went done and our IT people are trying to recover lost cad files.
We have tried in AutoCAD the recover command with no success.
How we can recover these files or recommend a software to recover these files?
I’m having problems editing my pipe network in Civil 3D 2012, as you can see below some of the network parts have all the grips after editing while some of the pipes can only be edited once before I lose the grips. I have tried purge/audit, recover and the bug fix for sp1 that caused pipes to disappear.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a drawing with 13 profile views. 12 of them are working fine.
One profile view has 'lost' all its profiles. It should have one surface profile, and 6 superimposed profiles that are designed by layout in other profile views.
The profiles still show up in prospector and in the profile view properties, but you can't see them in the drawing. The profile view is on the same style as all the others, and the profiles are on multiple styles, but the same as their source profile and others in the drawing that are working fine.
I edited the alignment a little to see if that would 'jog the memory', then I turned all layers on and thawed. Still nothing. Then I superimposed a couple more profiles to see if they would show up. Again, they show in the properties, but do not plot in profile view.
I have a separate drawing with this alignment & profiles shortcut into it, and I'm seeing exactly the same behaviour there too.
I have two alignments with profiles, that when I publish either from the layouts, or from SSM, don't show up in the pdf. This includes the labels. If I do a plot of the individual sheets, they show up fine. There are other alignments using the same styles that publish just fine.
I had to repair the shortcuts to these two alignments. Not sure if that would have anything to do with it. Can't see how, since they plot fine. What's maddening is that I published a set of plans before repairing the shortcuts, and they came out fine.
I restored a previous version which required the shortcut repair, and it does the same thing.
I think this should be an easy thing to do, but I am having problems figuring it out. I need to repath the location of a point file being used in a surface. My surface will not rebuild because it can't find the point file originally used. Drawing was used on a different computer system, so the point file directory is now pointed to the wrong path.
View 7 Replies View Relatedi have a drawing i am working and somehow i lost my linetypes that use shape files, anything with text in the linetype work fine. I have tried to reload the shape file, compile it and to no avail. my file directories are pointing in the right direction and everytime i load and compile it goes to correct file and directory.
The reason i say i caused it is they were in the drawing working fine, and 1 or 2 commands later gone, I tried to insert the drawing into a new drawing and that did not work. if i start a new drawing it works fine.
I defined alignments and a surface in Civil 3d, then reopened the same drawing in Autocad 2012 to amend some line work (just because I like drafting in this better). When I next needed to do an inquiry off the surface, I opened the drawing in C3D, but all the alignments and my surfaces were gone! Why doesn't C3D retain alignments/surfaces after you've opened a drawing in Autocad 2012? Would you recommend keeping a separate C3D base drawing for the design work, and another for the drafting? and just xref-ing between the two?

I have AutoCAD LT 2014 at home but I use LT 2013 at the office. So, I thought I would do some work at home assuming that any changes in the two versions would not trip me up. NOT!
All I am trying to do is type text that represents 6" high letters on a sign. My default settings are all set to annotative text and dimensioning. When i start to create multiline text and select 6" for a 6" high letter, I get 6" height as if I am placing it in paper space. But I'm not; I am placing it inside a view port. However it keeps prompting me for the paper space height of the text. Now I know that since my viewport is set to 1/2" = 1'-0" the letter will be 1/4" high in the viewport. But i thought we had gotten away from having to do any conversions. I just want a 6" hight letter in the viewport. What am I doing wrong?
I am currently using AutoCad LT 2013 for Mac, and somehow managed to lose the panel where you choose the scale ect. for viewport. This applies for all my files, and I have not been able to "find" this panel again and print anything in proper scale since. URL....

View 1 Replies View Relatedmy 3D geometry going missing after I have saved the drawing. Running AutoCAD 2013, Saving file Format 2010. I draw a room. I have walls, chairs, desks, a floor, etc. I save the drawing. When going to re-open the file I can see all of my geometry in the file preview, but when opening the DWG the floor is missing. All Layers are on and thawed. When running a purge command it indicates that something is on the layer, but I can't see it or select it. Changing visual styles also has no effect. I have used CAD in 3D since CAD 200.
