AutoCAD Map 3D :: Data To Set Up Industry Model / Manipulate Raster / Saving
Dec 30, 2012
I used the industry model template for the North American electric grid, thinking it would link the data I saw on the tutorials. I am pretty sure that I need to find industry models for the electric grid now that I can't seem to get the conductors to show up on my map. Is that right? where I can find an industry model of the electric grid around Lake Michigan?
If I cannot find an industry model (a database?), can I just switch workspace to "Planning and Analysis" and import the models I have (images, West side of lake only) and attempt to manipulate those (while keeping everything I have)?
I have lost much work repeatedly upon saving. Do I always have to "check in" my data before saving?
Is there an easier way to match-up roster images (that aren't GEOTiffs) to shape files (that have a coordinate system) rather than using "scale," "rotate" and "move"? I didn't have luck with the "pick" option and monkeying around with manual manipulation didn't match up well. Perhaps there is a way to manipulate points on an image?

Import Data into the Industry Model,
I am supposed to go to the insert tab and run convert to industry modle.
However it does not exist in this tab, I could not get the help file to show be where I could find this command.
Also where is the dataset for this module. I followed the link from the help file to [URL].... but could not see any data set for this module

I recently installed Autocad Map 3d 2014, 64 bits, on a windows 7 machine. I set up an enterprise model in a SQL server 2008 R2 database, created a custom industry model with one feature class, converted a SHP to my custom industry model. All 80 features were converted.
The problem is when I'm trying to call Generate Graphic function. Autocad Map crashes and I get this error in the error log:
An item with the same key has already been added.

Using Storm and Sanitary Analysis from a wastewater industry model? I have been looking into that but have run into a problem regarding units (using metric units). When importing data from wastewater industry model into SSA it assumes that pipe dimensions are given in meters and subbasins area are given in ha. My data is in mm and sqr.m.
Can I define what units to use when importing this data??
If I import GIS data (shp files) I can define what units the data is in.
Using 2013 versions of Map and SSA.

When connecting to an Industry Model one can use the Convert to Industry Model dialog.Here you can select the source you want to map. This can be an FDO connection, a file (SDF, SSQLite, DWG).If you choose DWG, 4 options can be used as input/source:
AutoCAD Entities,
Layers
Object data
Block Names
However, the MAP 3D feature classes (from Classification) are not listed here, nor can I find (Hoping I am overlooking it) a way of converting mapping them to the IM. Seems the only option is to redo the classification "defintion" effort again.
If this is the case, I am getting more the impression that Map3D is becomming a bunch of tools rather then a consistent framework supporting a step by step path from CAD to GIS to Industry Model type it is being marketed.

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.

A GIS person has asked me if I was able to convert a Civil 3D surface they have received into raster data files so she can use the data with ArcGIS. Just wondering if this is possible with Map3D? She normally gets someone in another office to do it, he uses an ArcGIS addon to take the data of the surface and converts it. The result is a bunch of ADF files and an XML file.

I have a set of four images I am referencing into a drawing through the data connect feature found in Planning and analysis that overlap. I am running Civil 3D 2013. I would like to be able to clip the images as well as turn off the transparency but I can't seem to figure out how. If you select the images cadd thinks it is an image referenced outside of Data connect, but the clipping tool doesn't work, and it doesn't even matter if you de-select print transparency in the page setup, it still prints transparent. Is there another set of commands or tools that I am not aware of that allows you to edit an image brought in through the data connect?

I am using two different types of raster ECW and MrSid. ECW file resolution goes way down when plotting. They look like blocks. MrSid files look fuzzy but alot better than ECWs. I've tried RASTERTHRESHOLD, and RASTERPERCENT. Both are set to 90. Using HP6100ps.
Images are fine when using Imageinsert.
Is there a setting i'm missing somewhere for them?

Working in 2013 Raster Design. The commands for raster tools are not working. When attempting to insert an image the following message appears:
c:program filesautodeskautocad raster design 2013aeciibui56.arx cannot find a dll or other file that it needs. Unknown command "IINSERT". Press F1 for help.
Similar messages appear when trying other commands located within the Raster Tools tab.

I am a land surveyor using AutoCAD 2012. Just new to 2012 version, previously used 2005 version.
My question is:
Is it possible to (and how do I) create a 3D model of a ground surface from field survey data which has been collected. The data i have is currently in Leica GSI format, and has x, y and z coordinates. I can easily transfer this into a .csv file i necessary.

I have complete structural data on mature redwood trees that I have been able to get into AutoCad for visualization and error correction purposes. The results are amazing. The orbit command allows me to fly all around the tree and see it from many angles, which allows me to spot errors in the data. The trees are modeled as large collections of cones and conic frusta. Essentially all I use is the cone command, and change the layers if I am drawing the trunk, side trunks and/or branches. I have been able to do this with a script.
My dilemma: Every conic section in the original data has a unique name. When I find a structural error visually it is very hard to determine where the error is in the original data. It would be great if I could name each object (conic frusta) with its corresponding name form the original data, with the script. I could then track down the errors more easily.
A few questions:
What is the best approach? It seems that creating a block for each conic frusta would work (some trees have over 600 conic sections), but I haven't been able to automate this with scripts.
When testing the exact structure that would be needed in a script I encounter the following problems: When I create a block from a selected conic section from the command line with "-block" the resulting block disappears and I have to insert it later. This seemed fine until I tried running a script. The script created a block with the right name but nothing was in it when I opened it in the block editor. If I use "block" it does exactly what I want it to, but "block" doesn't work with a script because it uses the graphical version of the command.

setting up Industry Model using Oracle 10g and 11g XE edition. I cant make it working, trouble starts when trying to create MAP 3d System User "MAPSYS" in Industry Model Setup, during user creation(about 68%) error popups" Could not create user MAPSYS"XE: Unable to deploy java package. Does XE version is suitable for Industry Models. Direct connection to Oracle 10g or 11G XE with MAP 3d working for me perfectly.
System I have is: WIN 7 Enterprise( 64 bit), database is Oracle 10g and 11g XE(32bit), client is Oracle 11g R2(administrator),all autodesk software is 2013 versions(64 bit). I tried it also with 2012 software but same result.

If I am working on a 3D model and viewing it in 2d wireframemode, it will automatically switch to 3D wire frame view after I save it. This changesthe background colors and switches to a perspective view. How I can maintain the current view mode during a save?

I am using AutoCAD 2012 and would like to know whether you can create a single iges file of data that exists in both model space and layout space within the same dwg file. I have only been successful in creating iges files of either model data or layout data but not both together (unlike creating a dxf file which converts all data within the dwg file).

Why's that Whenever i'm at the stage of modelling my 3D models i can zoom them in. But When i try to save them . Sometimes i can't zoom them. ?.. What should i do. I tried regenerate but i't seems doesn't work. Also my autoregen is on..Tsk.
And also when i try to add models from other acad files i can't zoom them in either. Tsk darn it.
I can zoom them but the zooming that i get in the first place is not the same. Like it skips from zooming....like before it was a 1:1 zoom but when it save or add models from other acad files boom it becomes. 1:5 sometimes just a couple of scrolls it give me the background color only. i can't see my model boom!

What is the industry standard regarding horizontal vs. vertical scale? More specifically, should the exaggerated vertical scale be proportional to the horizontal scale?
For example, if I have a drawing that has a horizontal scale of 1" = 100', should my vertical scale be 1" = 10'? Or if my horizontal scale is 1" = 30', should my vertical scale be 1" = 3'? Obviously, we have the ability to make the vertical scale anything we want but what is there a recognized industry standard that correlates the horizontal scale to the vertical scale?

Every time I save my drawing or it does an Autosave I get the message "Regenerating model" and have to wait 30 seconds for everything to regenerate. There is no reason it needs to do this, is there some way I can turn it off?

I am trying to find a way to import a laser scanned mesh or point cloud file into Inventor (2013) such that I can use it to make a parametric representation of the form. The import format can be STL, OBJ, VRML, XYZ or PLY. I have tried the Mesh Enabler from Autodesk Labs but the files I am looking to work-on are bigger than the enabler can cope with and my system slows right down or locks-up.
I know bespoke reverse engineering software is the ideal way to go but I was hoping there was a way to model over a mesh to represent its form to create a placeholder in a parametric assembly. I'm not looking for accuracy, just a surface or solid output that can be constrained to native inventor parts. If I could get the files to STEP or IGES someway that would be enough.

A client wants to place an Illustrator file within Photoshop and save as PDF. Readers will view the PDF on screen at increased magnifications. I know that people will say, work the whole lot in Illustrator - but they don't want to do that at this stage.
Text will stay vector no matter what magnification - but the map looks pixellated.
By keeping info as smart object doesn't work.

I have lightroom 3. I have set my camera on shooting in jpg and raw. I import them both and get them as 1 picture in lightroom. When I rate the picture with a star and I save it to the exif data it only saves it to thseperate xmp file. Also if I rotate the picture it only writes it in the separate file. I want to save also the exif data to the jpg file. How can I do this in one go?

In the past I've been successful adding and storing metadata to the 'Description' column in the project window in the past with the 'Link' symbol activated in the Metadata panel under 'ile'>Dublin Core>>Description. This would allow me to retain the description metadata when the media is imported into a different project.
However I am using this same procedure this week, but the data does not seem to be saving/adding to the XMP 'File' metadata. See screen shot below. I've experienced this problem within different proejcts and with the three main media types in our production house: XDCAM EX, P2 MXF and Ikegami MXF.
Why this would work previously, but not now? Is it related to the latest version updates?
This is a PC, Windows 7 system.

I need to connect a rapport with others(print on fabric for textile industry). It looks like a mosaic, however the pieces doesn't connect side by side at the same height, but side by side sometimes higher, sometimes lower
.
The thing is: when I try put then together the limit of the layers create an edge that prevents connection.I'm sending some images to try to make this clear: 1- all layers together with the thin line between the 2- closer to junction 3- closer 3200% to see what really happens.
When the image is magnified 3200% we can see clearly that this "crack" is actually the edge of the layer that has become a bit clearer, then edge with edge, it creates an impression that there is a line in the overall picture. And I can not just cover it because each layer will be duplicated automatically by a machine rapport. So is there any way to make the edge of the layer does not check clearing?

Is there a command where I can stretch an object and keep its Area. Like a baseball when hit turns into an oval however keeps its same mass.
Not like the Stretch command that infinitely stretchs an object.

See image below.
I can't seem to figure out why I cannot manipulate this file. All tool bars are blacked out like it has the "read only" property. Which was first thing I checked to try to diagnose this issue. I've also tried save copy as, checking in & out of the Vault. Deleting local copies and opening from Vault. Even re-downloading the same file. Nothing seems to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Or did whoever create this remove the write capability from it somehow. All I am trying to do is go into document settings and change the units from metric to standard.

I'm new to VBA in AutoCAD I've played with Inventor VBA a bit, but the API appears to be drastically different.
I need to manipulate existing splines on a drawing by joining them together via VBA. To achieve this manually, the user would use the command SPLINEDIT and go from there. What is the equivalent, or how do I access the command in VBA?
