AutoCAD Map 3D :: Inserting An Aerial Photo Via WMS
Nov 16, 2009
I have been using the Web Mapping Server for inserting aerial photography for quite some time now. I recently upgraded to Civil 3d 2010, and now when I attempt to insert an aerial photo I get a message box that says "There was a problem adding data to Map." and the image does not show up. When tried on a machine with full administrator privileges it works just fine.
This is a new problem that does not happen in Civil 3d 2009. Here is a link to the WMS site that I have been using, it is through the Land Management Information Center with the State of Minnesota.

I am printing some drawings with points over an aerial photo. I want the points to print bold but when I increase the lineweight of the layer, they don't print any heavier. They are just AutoCad points and I have pdmode set to 3. What can I do to make these points print bold?

I am looking for an inexpensive website that offers USGS maps with aerial photo and CAD linework overlays. I used to be able to purchase these files from Topo Depot but they closed their site down at the end of 2012.

I have aerial photos that I'm going to be using in a map project. Basically, I want to take out all the distracting detail of the aerial photos. The end product should be have a very nuetral color for default, a tree textured light green (forests) and a rock textured gray for rock out croppings ....

I am calibrating a new plotter in the office. I often work with color aerial imagery. How do plotters interpret the colors in an image? Does it work pixel by pixel, and if so, does it use an RGB, HSV, CMWK, hexidecimal value? Does the plotter MACHINE just "scan" the image is one "object" or does it work in batches, or "tiles"? I don't want to alter the image in Photoshop just yet, but I am curious as how the plotter MACHINE is determining the color and how bright, vivid, dull, the IMAGE is plotting at?
The other issue is that the newer plotter plots in more vivid colors than our older machines, but the difference between the 255 AutoCAD colors is less pronounced. I am concerned that adjusting the individual RGB values for each of the 255 colors won't make any difference if the NEW plotter is factory-calibrated to produce vivid colors with little difference between brightness, contrast, etc.
On a side note, I do oil painting as a hobby and I run into tinting strengths, brightness, luminosity all the time when mixing various oils, pigments, and binders

In the image below I have an aerial photo of an Island. I need to make it so as water areas are black and land areas are white (not greyscale) almost like a silhouette. My first plan was to draw round the island with a black paint brush and then use the "bucket fill" with a suitable threshold to fill all of the areas up to the black outline with black, however this doesn't work as the bucket fill either breaks through the black line or when I reduce the threshold, doesn't color the water areas solidly.

An Overlay track has a photo on the end of the track, there are also photos at the start of the track.
When right clicking on this track behind a photo at the start end of the track to insert a photo behind an existing photo, the new photo goes behind the photo at the end of the track.
Is there any way to use right click and insert the photo where you want it?

I am putting together a biographical video of my wife and myself for our kids (married 50 years). I want to have a video of her (example) sitting and talking about growing up. Is there a way to insert a photo on the main video track and still keep the voice track intact? Example: She is talking about her childhood. A photo apears of her as a small girl while she is still talking. The photo goes away after a few seconds and there she is live and taliking. I hope to get away from using the overlay track.

I am working on an alignment sheet for a gas line. I am showing an aerial in my main viewport in plan view. I am only showing line work between match lines nothing pass that except the aerial. However I have two more viewports aside from the main one. I have one to each of the sides of the main viewport to show the aerial image only pass the match lines. My viewports are locked all three of them, yet my image on the viewports to each of the sides of the match lines keep acting up and won't show correctly every time I zoom out or in. They'll be a time that they will but if I zoom out or in after that they will move and not match my main viewport were the line work is at. I only copied the main viewport and resized it to fit in the template pass the match lines. Created a reference point to zoom into my aerial after the match line and it all works until I'm ready to plot and zoom out then it messes up.

I have inserted aerial photos into a drawing. When I go to layout view and print preview either to my plotter or my pdf writer I can see the aerial image just fine within the viewport. But once it actually makes a pdf or prints it to the plotter the aerial photos are not there, just the polylines and objects within the drawing.

I've been working on drawings (originally last year done in Civil 2013 with Geographic locations included) in 2014 and have found that when switching the Map Aerial on the location is very incorrect.
By using the Remove Location tool and assigning the Coordinate system via the Drawing Properties, the aerial Map is located perfectly...
Why it does this and haven't tried with other drawings in a different project to the one I'm workling on.

I just upgraded my entire department to 2013 from 2008. We can no longer import aerial images from Google Earth, publish KMLs or export generic Microstation design files (we have to choose from V7 & V8.)
I can't beleive this "upgrade" actually downgraded our functionality as a department. We can no longer provide sevices to those requiring these file formats and will be forced to discontinue the use of CAD for many of our projects.

I would like to try and import a .tds and .dat file that should contain an aerial photograph and a location in the real world of that photograph. I would then like to create a map over the photograph with lines, circles, etc. that will also be in the same coordinates as the photograph.

I use Photoshop Cs3 to tile aerial photos together. I have done up to a hundred images from an 19 mp camera and Photoshop has done them in one batch in about an hour to 90 minutes. I have a job to do that involves 200 images from a 36 mp camera and it just ain't happening.
I try to break the job up by tiling a section together and then doing another section but when I go to put the sections together (or add new photo's to a section)...the large block has been resized so I'm trying to put big images into a small hole.

Set up the perspective grid tool on a birdseye (oblique) aerial? I'm starting to understand how to create a basic perspective drawing on a blank canvas, but aligning the grid to an existing image is completely escaping me.

I recently upgraded from 2010 to 2012 and when trying to plot, using the very same page setups as before the upgrade, the quality (or resolution) of the plot is very poor and pixelated. I am using very high resolution aerial imagery. The output is not at all high resolution (totally pixelated, not presentable as professional). It seems like AutoCAD is reducing the image quality now. Is this a system variable that can be adjusted?

Need to be able to trace the putting green in a close up and put grid lines every 5 yards to define size.
Also need the basic steps to import my photo to trace complete hole and save the finished product to print.
I need the grid lines to remain in the final diagram.

Some background: We have a composite surface of existing surveyed contours as a TIN pasted into existing aerial contours that we received from a client. We used polylines to generate our proposed contours, and then generated a proposed surface from that. We've made a blank surface, pasted in the existing surface, and are trying to paste in our proposed surface... only the existing contours outside of the proposed suface no longer line up correctly once we do.
We've tried applying the method laid out here: [URL] ........ (and the link referenced in the bottom) but are still having trouble getting the surface to work. We've tried offsetting as little as 0.25' and as much as 5' with the feature line draped over the existing surface, but it seemed that the greater the offset, the greater the discrepancy.
Just to make sure we even tried that correctly - should the breaklines that we add be standard or non-destructive? (I've tried it both ways with little success either way, so I don't know if it matters much in this instance, but perhaps for future reference it would work.)
I've attached a screen shot of our surfaces. The pink and green lines are the proposed contours, the white dashed are the existing. The outer red line is offset 0.25'. As I've mentioned, we've tried offsetting various amounts with decreasing success.

I have been able to insert a PDF into an AutoCAD 2013 dwg but only as an attachment. This seems to be similar to xref but I can't seem to bind the pdf to the dwg. Therefore when I send the dwg to a client and they open it, they only see the drawing format and no PDF attachment. Sending the PDF as a separate file is not an acceptable solution.
Is there a way to insert a PDF and bind it to the dwg so an external reference file is not required?
I'm not interested in converting the PDF to a dxf or any other format. Just interested in knowing whether there is a way to insert and bind a PDF to an ACAD dwg.

I'm trying to make a small program in vb.net that creates are laser drawing. So far I was able to create the drawing from a part in inventor. The only left to do is to add the Part Number + description into this drawing. I'm really struggling on this one. I'm currently able to open the drawing and that's all. I've tried many things from examples I found on forums but it's not working. This is a sample of what I have regarding autocad in my program:
Imports Inventor
Imports System.IO
Imports AutoCAD
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime
Imports Autodesk.AutoCAD.EditorInput
[Code]...
I need to find a way to add Mtext but I don't find anything that I'm able to use in my program. If any of you know a good reference, or have a sample of code.
