AutoCAD Map 3D :: Can't Create Polygons - Some Links Could Be Lost
Jan 25, 2013
There are two polygon topologies in the dwg attached. The 'Parcels' topology is a source while the 'RoW' topology represents an overlay topology. Both are reported correct and complete, nevertheless an intersection overlay operation
does not show the expected result. Instead, a rather painful error message comes up: Can't create polygons.Some links could be lost. Frankly, I have never known any of the messages before...
Ironically, this sample is a part of a greater drawing and the rest of the topologies work just fine.

So I bought the new 27" iMac. I was keeping all my photos on an external drive but decided to use that for back up and move all the pics onto the new iMac's 3TB fusion drive. I made the move outside of Lightroom. Of course, when I did that, I botched up all the links.
Lightroom 4.3 now shows thumbnails of all my photos, none of my folders in the catalog window, all of my saved collections. What's the most efficient way of getting LR to link my catalog to my newly-located (internal) photos file?

I use Photoshop Elements 9 with Windows 7 and backed up both my pictures and saved my albums as a XML file. Then my computer got a virus and the hard drive had to be wiped clean. I restored my files and pictures from an external hard drive. I reinstalled Photoshop Elements 9 and then uploaded the albums from the XML file I saved. All the album names are restored, but the pictures are not connected to the albums! How can I restore the albums with the pictures without starting over and dragging each picture into the album? I thought the XML file saved the picture/album links?

I'm having a problem with linking two polygons together to create a box shape
I've attached an image to show you what I mean, I'd like to connect each of the 4 vertecies on one polygon to 4 vertecies on the other to create a box

I'm putting together some design specs and I want to create a clickable table of contents that will navigate to a different section of the document. IE. artboard #27
From what I've seen thus far it looks like I can add links but only to websites and they are only clickable in PDF mode.
Is it possible at the very least to make my clickable TOC when converting my document to a PDF? and, is it possible to make it clickable even if it is in .ai format?

I have a plane that I transform into Edit Poly, only one polygon. I select an edge, click extrude, 1cm height and 0 width. But instead of having 2 polygons, I have 4, the extras two being on the outside edge of the newly extruded polygon. These polygons aren't really visible, but they cause lots and lots of problems! I have a lot of extruding to do and I would love to specify the dimension of the new polygons, that's why I used Extrude instead of simply Shift-dragging.
At the moment, after each extrude, I select all my vertexes and do a weld with a very small threshold, that seems to eliminate those extra polygons, but it's annoying and counter-productive.
I'm using 3ds max 2012 64 bits, service pack 2 and I updated last week.

I want to create a DVD with 3 or 4 simple links to chapters and extras that can be accessed with a remote from the DVD menu. I am sure it must be possible.

I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format.
I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). They go through a flattening process.
I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour.
I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow.

I want to place a photo on a webpage (PSing the whole page I'd guess is the best way to do this), at an angle. I've tried to take the pic to Imageready and create a hotspot, but it seems you can only do "straight" slices?
I really would prefer NOT having a big square or rectangle around the graphic, is there a way to do this, in Imageready?

After I open a create new image, the cursor disappears and the last tool I choose (rectangle...) appears and the cursor (arrow) disappears. Is this standard or is there a way to exit from the tool box and use just the arrow cursor?

All of the sudden I can't create a customer profile when creating a new document. Earlier I selecting the print profile. I tried opening a new document and creating a custom profile but that option is grayed out.
I created custom brushes yesterday but they don't appear today. Is that because of the profile that the brushes were created with and without that profile I won't see the brushes?

I have a drawing with 2 Data Connections: 1. Census Block SHP file from the Census Bureau and 2. an SDF file I created from GPS point locations. The question: Is there a way I can query the relationship between these 2 layers and have it report which census block each point is in?

For my job here I have a contoured map of a sand structure. I have converted that entire 2D map into a 3D map. Showing the elevation of the contours relative to the surface. I need to know how you can hatch or fill in with color the 3d polygons that are shaping the subsurface. When i try to hatch it, it works but it just pastes it at the surface at Z:0 and even if i bring that hatch down it won't form to the multidimensional polygon that i am trying to cover. Here is a pic of what I am trying to do.
The green / blue is the fault plane i have been able to plot as well as shade in using 3D Face, but the problem I run into for the RED contour lines is that they are arcs and when i use 3D Face it doesn't allow it to bend to conform with the arc shape.

I have this .sdf-file with 5 patches of forest. When i try to export this file to a .shp-file only 3 of the 5 polygons are exported. For the export i used the bulk copy command. why only 3 polygons are exported?
I have included a .dwg with polylines of the 5 patches. The .sdf file could not be attached.

On my file I have some polylines that are the streets. So, they look like rectangles and curves, etc. I am working also on a 3D Model, and what I have to do next is to extrude them. The problem is that those polylines are not polygons, and so, they are not solids when I extrude them. I tried to use the command BO but it says that the lines are not closed, and I checked with OSNAP and they are! Is there any way to convert those polylines into polygons?

When I plot to PDF, polygons plot with dark lines radiating from points along it's boundary, (see attached). If plotted correctly, the polygons should have a uniform appearance. What I have learned so far:
It only happens with transparency turned down in the style.I tried several methods including Adobe, DWG to PDF, PDF Report Writer, and Vadim PDF Writer.It was plotted from a different machine, same result.It was plotted by a different user, same result.It happens with other drawings.It also happens with solid hatches, but does not seem to be as bad.It does plot to the plotter correctly, at least!

Is there a way of trimming an SDF or SHP file with multiple polygons within a boundary buffer zone, but keep the entire of all of the crossing polygons.
I have managed to create a feature overlay for the trimming selection but the 'Union' command creates a new layer with all of both SDF files I'm comparing, not just the ones within the buffer zone.

While exporting polylines to polygons as an autocad shp file I get an error when trying to open the file in ArcExplorer 9.2 Java edition. The error code in an invalid field length in the dbf file. Is it specific to Autocad map export issues. The attribute table is an Access file (link template).

I have prepared a video and a sdf-file for you to reproduce my problem, and that is:
I have two polygons in my sample-sdf, one having an island. I start the command _MAPFEATUREMERGE to join two polygons. Having done that the island is lost. I can't believe that this (losing the islands) is "as designed".
I have tried this with:
WinXP(32bit) Map3D2012 (32bit)Win7(64bit) Civil3D2010 (32bit)Win7(64bit) Civil3D2011 (64bit)Win7(64bit) Civil3D2012 (64bit)Win7(64bit) Map3D2012 (64bit)
I have tried this with:

I've been sent a series of CAD drawings in which the author has used global width to define the appearance of features. I need to import this into our GIS, which for reasons too complex to bother with won't import any attributes such as width. I don't want to lose the information recorded so was wondering if it's possible to create a closed polygon to represent the shape of the line. I guess something might be possible using buffering, but I can't figure out how to use the existing line width.

I am using AutoCAD Map 3D 2013 version. While using SuperHatch (with Block option) in island polygons, the command creates 2 extra lines. see the attached screenshot. The 2 yellow color lines are extra lines.
Is there any option or setvar to switch off these 2 lines or control this behaviour ?

I am trying to union two .sdf-files with landuse data (from different year) to calculate the changes in landuse. Within each .sdf file i have several multipolygons with each a type of use. I would like to convert these multipolygons into single polygons. I would like to this, to have more control over which polygons are use and to select only the landusetypes i need.
Is it possbile to explode multipolygons of a .sdf-file in to single polygons?

I'm using AutoCAD Map 3D. I had some geometry that I needed to convert into a shape file, so I selected on the shp layer "New Feature from Geometry". Everything converted to join the shape layer, but now it is all connected. I want to move/edit individual polygons but when I go to select one it selects all of them.
I've noticed I can "create new feature" one at a time, but I'd really like to find how to unlink them after I've converted them in bulk.

I am trying to convert several drawings that are linked to an SQL database to SQL spatial. The drawings are from a Autodesk map 2004 system. I have Map D 2013 64Bit installed on a laptop along with SQL server 2012 RC0 (Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 11.0.1750.32 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.1.7601.17514 Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.30319.269 Operating System 6.1.7601).
To keep my rouge laptop off the company network I exported our existing SQL data to a access database that I placed on the laptop and converted back to SQL and linked it to the 2004 drawings. That part worked fine. I would like to convert all of them to SQL spatial. I have converted a small drawing but it took a couple of hours. I am in the process of a larger drawing that has 60,000 entities and it has been working for 8 hours and only has 4550 of them completed. I am using the output to fdo connection.

My company produces drawing sets that show the same information in multiple places. I.e. an attribute in drawing A is also shown in a different block in drawing B and a different block in drawing C and in a table. This creates problems in that as soon as one piece of information changes, you have to change it in 14 places... and it creates typos. A LOT of typos. So I'm trying to come up with a good solution as to how to link these pieces of information.
I know how to use data links in a table... but is there a way to link block attributes? Also, am I just barking up the wrong tree? Because in my head, you'd have to manually link all of these things for every new drawing, and they can be easily broken.

How to manipulate data links? I want excel tables to come over and use their native excel formatting. I have a heck of a time getting them to look right (text size, font, justification, cell size, etc) and then when I update the link after making changes to the XLS, they get all cattywompus again.
I've never been real strong on text management in CAD; I'm always scaling text and doing poor drafting things like that. So I looked into Tablestyles and things a bit and thought I had it, but not so much.

Is it possible to put links into AutoCAD drawings?
For instance could I set up an icon / text that if clicked on opens another drawing, pdf, word document, excel document or other.
example: if I have a note in the drawing saying "see drawing A123_456_789 for details of power cable" could I put a link next to it that took you straight to the drawing?
If it can be done is it possible to save the drawing in a format that somebody without AutoCAD could view drawing and use the links.
