AutoCAD Map 3D :: Deal With Shape Files From Different Sources?
Dec 4, 2011
I got some shp files from different sources and I tried to connect all together to a new (MAP 3d 2010) .dwg file.
Besides the two different positions, the size of one is too bigger than the other. However, when I use mapdist command, the measurement are practically the same.
I figure out that I can deal with some of those shp files when I assign LL coordinate system, but other files run when I assign UTM coordinate system. For example, using buffer command.
There is no defined coordinate system in any of the shp files I have.
What should I do to overlay all features on the fly?
I’m trying to open an image shot in RAW (Canon 10D) in PSCS and the screen, with my image, is larger than my monitor screen, so I have to move it around by grabbing the blue bar at the top and even then the adjustment controls on the right side of the screen are cut off. I’ve tried changing the screen resolution, which helps reduce the screen size but the adjustment controls are still cut off about half way. This is the first time I’ve tried RAW in PSCS (been shooting JPEG). I’m using Windows XP Pro if that has anything to do with anything.
I've spent ages designing only to notice on my crt the colours are different and when printed the colours are watered down and doesn't match. So I have no idea how the client will see the design.
I know this is a well-known issue but how best can I get around it?
I just noticed that my other monitor was viewing the image 'messed up' because it wasn't 'actual size' within the picture viewer. All looks fine now, but when printed the colours are still different, so my question now is:
How can I make my photoshop psd print out in the same colours as what I see on screen? (or as close to?)
the batch conversion tool can't handle long file names as generated by the Windows Live Photo Gallery import tool. I was shocked (dismayed?) to see that my brand new X5 doesn't import DV as nicely as this free MS tool (as an aside). Here is an example filename: "Tape05 2001-01-02 14.05.33.avi". It stumbles on the first '.' it finds. Luckily it does not overwrite files that end up having the same name because of this truncation but still. Come on now. Path manipulation is junior engineer programming 101.
The batch convert also does not remember the target directory last used. At least default it to the source directory, right?Unlikely to be fixed, I know, but maybe it'll go on the list for X6.
I am having problem importing data from two different source. The first one is hypso data and is supposed to be in lat / long from the CSRS. When I import the shape file in C3D using these specification, the white arrow appears in the center of the drawing, and everything seems fine.
Now then, I have those data point from land survey with a GPS I wish to had to my surface. When I import my text file ( which is in P - X - Y - Z format ), the point appears way offside of the hypso drawing.
So I was wondering, how can I know the system in which those point were recorded. Once I know this, how can I specify to C3D that the hypso is in a certain system, and the GPS point in another one, so that they will come together ?
So I am trying to set up a mouth rig using joints. How would i go about smoothing my mesh, and still be able to go back and edit the joint weights without having to deal with a ridiculous amount of polygons? Â [URL]....
This video kind of shows what i am looking for, the guy is editing a minecraft character rig he has. At around 4:30, you can see him editing the skin weights on a low-poly mesh, even though he tested adjusting the shape of the mouth when the geometry was in a smooth state, the video is timelapse so its very hard to tell what he did to achieve this. Note that he is also not redering in mental ray, so he is not just using smooth mesh preview.
How can I sample more sources in my profile view? I added a new surface that I want to see on my profile, but it doesn't show the "sample more sources" option like the sections do..
updating the source of a custom table in a drawing. I wrote a design copy rule that takes a template "module" and saves all the files off into the customer's project folder. This latest module has an orientation chart that details the location of key features and is displayed on the drawing. We're driving the chart using an external excel file. I can get the reference in the assembly to update with no problem by just telling the driving rule to look for an excel with matching project and assembly numbers in the same folder as the assembly.
However, when I try and update the reference in the drawing, I can get the "3rd Party" link to change, but it doesn't change the actual link in the table. Here's a pic of the tree and my part of the current code. How can I make it update the actual link?
TryDim oSht As Sheet = oDwgDoc.Sheets.Item(1)Dim oChart As CustomTable = oSht.CustomTables.Item(1) MsgBox(oChart.Title)Dim oChartDesc As FileDescriptor = oChart.ReferencedDocumentDescriptorchartDocName = oDwgDoc.ReferencedDocumentDescriptors.Item(1).FullDocumentNameIf chartDocName.Contains("OrientationChart") ThenMsgBox("The dude contains")End If orientChartName = Left(iProperties.Value("Custom", "OldName"), [code]....
Every time I try to run a script it comes up with the following message  Error 2: SAVE_FOLDER is undefined. Line: 361 ->  I've tried uninstalling photoshop/deleting the script from all sources/reinstalling the script/reset photoshop settings by pressing shift+ control+alt whilst starting photoshop... but none of these work.
I'm using the 30 day trial of VisualStudio x6 to create a DVD from multiple different video sources (MOV, MP4, MPG, WMV etc) that are all recorded in HD or near HD qulity. The total size of all these videos on my HDD is upwards of 7Gb. My problem is, when I burn the DVD it compresses down to just over 950Mb and the quality is noticably degraded.
I realize there will be some quality loss going from source to DVD but is there anything I can change in the settings to achieve the highest quality DVD output? It seems like from 7Gb to 950Mb, its not even trying to maintain any quality. Not even half the single layer DVD disc gets filled. I also have DL DVD's to burn to. Basically, I want the highest quality DVD from these HD sources regardless of final output size.
I'd just like to disable eveything except for the scanner software I actually use so I can just go to File > Import > and quickly click on the option I actually use to scan things in without thinking which one it is. Other options I almost never use, is there any way to disable them from showing up in the File > Import menu?
White LEDs are currently not a great way to illuminate your prints because they are not near full spectrum light sources. Most "white" LEDs are currently blue or violet LEDs with a green or yellow phosphor added to look neutral - but they have very little light in other areas (especially red). Some high end white LEDs are getting closer to full spectrum - but those are only recently available, and are not yet widespread.  Cheap fluorescent lamps tend to have a few "spikes" of light and have some wavelengths almost entirely missing. "Full Spectrum" Fluorescent lights are getting better, and cheaper - but are still not comparable in quality to tungsten or daylight.

I am having problem with swapping Sources in History in the record timeline. In the History view I can double click on the processes in the tree, i.e. Action or refrain but if I double click the source to swap it out nothing happens. Nothing at all.
what could be causing this, really very annoying when I want to replace the current footage with a new render from 3d.
I have a paint node with several sources for revealing. I´d like to see these sources for example to set the slip within paint. The documentation says F1 F1 but that doesn´t work. Is this a bug or are there alternative ways of seeing that source?
I've reviewed the video tutorial on moving photos out of your main drive to another drive, and it seems reasonably straight forward.  However I have a mixed scenerio here, and I just want to check on the best and safest way to do this.  Before I settled on a NAS solution, and while I was running out of space on my Macbook Pro, I began using an external drive to hold both photos and catalogs.  Now that the NAS is up and running, what I would like to do is:  Move the ≈20K photos from the MBP main catalog to the NASMove the ≈1TB of photos from the external drive to the NASMove some of the corresponding catalags off the external and onto my MBP so they remain stand alone...Combine the remaining catalogs on the external drive into my main catalog on the MBP.Â
So again, I'm just casting for a best strategy from others who have done this, and what if any pitfalls to be wary of. Â Â LR4, OSX 10.7.5
I have for days now tried to export a 3d polyline from Autocad Map3d into ArcGis so that i may be able to view a height any where along the polyline. I just keep getting a height of zero.
We're using AutoCAD LT 2009, so we of course do not have Aeccland.shx. I am aware that I do not have it. I don't particularly care that I don't have it.
AutoCAD, on the other hand, is very concerned. So concerned, in fact, that it will ask me for this file every time I open projects that involve baseplans shapes from this file. I would like to allay AutoCAD's concerns, and inform it that aeccland.shx is not necessary, and it can get along quite happily without aeccland.shx, and any other shape file. I would like to do this very much, as I am currently working on a project with 60 or more separate files I must pull information from to compile baseplans I can use.
When I import the shape file I created to map3d I can select and import individual shape files. I can not however, select all. When I do this I get an eror code.
I am working in AutoCAD map 3D 2011. From my research online, I understand it should be able to import shape files whereas normal versions cannot. I am unable to get my version to recognize the cesus tiger shape files. I am interested in the road information only. I have noticed online that that there should be a "map" or "mapping" option on my toolbar and there is not.
If there is a way to import shape files into Autocad LT?
I have tried using the freeware converters such as Cad tools but have no way of opening the avx file, also tried Import Shape from ABC Autocad but have hit a wall there too. This made me wonder if its even possible in LT.
I managed to install the Import Shape program but it installs a bunch of files I don't think I am able to use. It gives me the following error when I run the SCR it installs. "Command: (defun LISP command is not available."
I received some drawings from a client that is missing some shape files, it looks for file names like Z.shx when opening the dwg's, I have asked and he says he has the same problems when he opens them so is unable to send these to me, the drawing seems to open fine and I can not seen anything that looks wrong.
Iv also had this in the past with fonts and it will change the font to another one but nags you for it each time I open the file so i would like to know how to stop that as well if its different to above.
I have two videos of the same event that I would like to switch between. There is audio to sync to the video as well.
What I wanted to do was: 1) Put the main video in the main video track 2) Put the audio in the music track and aling with the main video 3) Put the secondary video in the overlay track. Align it with the audio and set the overlay to cover the entire screen. 4) Cut out most of the overlay video (spit the clip into sections and delete most of them).
That worked as far as it went -- the main video shows, interspersed with the secondary video, and everything is aligned with the audio. The problem is that the change between video perspectives is quite aburpt, but I cannot figure out how to make the transitions be seamless.
I added transitions to the beginning and end of each small clip on the overlay panel, but that didn't really make things seamless, particularly at the end of the clip -- there isn't anything to cross cut to, and if it fades to black then the main video pops up immediately when the overlay clip ends.
I tried splitting the video in the main track at the spot where the overlay comes in and adding a transition to the end of it; no matter what i try with the ripple settings, that throws the audio out of sync when the overlay is finished. I also tried deleting that section in the video track and moving the video from the overlay track into the video track; that was difficult enough to make sure that the sections were exactly the same length, but then I still have the problem with the transition lengthening the clip and throwing off the audio. I guess I could somehow figure out how to trim exactly the right amount of time from the clip I am inserting to solve that problem. Really, I guess I'd have to do that twice -- once for each transition -- because if otherwise the audio would be off in the clip being inserted. So I need to trim 1 second (or whatever) from the beginning; split it somewhere, and then trim 1 second from the end.
I have a 45min show with hundreds of edits in it. A mix of ProRez LT, Intra P2 (brought in ProRez proxy) and H264 5D footage. My intention was to relink all my Intra footage with the RAW and simply import the rest for online but have run into several issues. I'll make a different post outlining my steps and questions on how I've gotten here but my emidiate issue is after consolidating and cacheing all sources material of my master sequesnce, I have pending renders, how to get rid of. Also, all my source material in the sequesnce appears to be still be pointing to the original location and not the cached media. Â Smoke on Mac 2013 EXT 1
I have to convert my ACAD drawing to shape files for a GIS user. I have figured out how create a polygon, point or line and add object data with the tables. I have my ACAD drawing setup to the requested coordinate system but when I send them the shape files they are telling me that they get a error in ArchGIS stating "an extent that is not consistent with the associated spatial reference information". I am using Civil 3D 2012.
I have started a new project and would like to use the database table from a previous project with this one. Basically what I want to do is create a new shape file using the a previous database table so I do not have to create a whole new data base.
I have a shape file containing property boundaries with ownership names and parcel numbers. I have a cad map of town where there is a creek running thru the part of town I am working on. How to get a print out, or map of all the parcels that this creek is running thru? My main goal is to create a list of property owners adjacent to this creek. I think I have all the data, but not sure how to use it.Â
I am using map 3d 2011 and i am running into issues with the use of multi-leaders. I have a dwg with a few shape files in it and I have added multileaders to the dwg. When I save, close and then reopen the file the multileaders show up for a brief second during the loading process but then they disappear. All my settings are correct (layers, visibility, scales) as far as the leaders go but I can't figure out what the heck is going on. I tried adding another, select similar and only the one shows up that I just added. Saved the file and reopened. Same thing, the leader I just added shows up with the others for a brief second and then "poof" gone!!!
I just upgraded to Map 3d 2014 from 2010 and cannot figure out how to control the transparency for shapefiles. I thought that it was a glitch with the upgrade so installed the servepack and still no luck. Â So when I go to edit style and then to the style polygon dialouge there is no control for the foreground and no control for the trasparency, there is just a the word tranparency option with "0" but no way change it. Â I have installed 3d on 2 computers and the same on both.
