AutoCAD Map 3D :: Will It Perform Point A-B Network Analysis
May 3, 2011
I have been asked by a collegue if Map 3d will perform Network route Analysis and produce a model of the results.That is using defigned roads, footpaths etc find the shortest route from A to B.
As I'm only just getting into Map3D I couldn't answer this one. How you perform the analysis, a tutorial or example if avaliable.
I'm currently running Civil3D 2012 which should have the same functionality as Map3D 2012.

I am working on modeling a pond riser. I had one model with a series of small round perforations in the riser and I needed to look at a version that used larger, square cut-outs in the riser. So, I performed a "save-as" and adjusted my orifices to match my new model requirements. When I attempted to run the model, I received the following error: "ERROR 537 : Unable to perform multiple storm analysis, no storm was selected.".
I have encountered this one time before and was able to go back to the first model and start over. However, now, even when I run the first model (small round perfs), I receive the same error.
I have a storm event assigned for both models but the program does not seem to recognize this any longer.

As I know we can import and export storm and sewer pipe lines between C3d and SSA. But how about open channels? I am workin on a project which is contain sewer pipes (close sections like circle pipes) and open channels(maybe as corridor in C3d) and some ditches with irregular sectios. it is pretty easy to define assemlies for open channels and ditches in C3d but if we can not pull the in SSA in order to analyze then we need to do the job twise in both software. I've tried to pull my network into SSA. but it just import pipe networks not open channels. is there any way to import them or any other software that can import from C3d and analyse the network?

I understand that in a normal part to apply a load to a face is to make it a UDL (uniformly distributed load) by default. To apply a point load, I was told to create a small sketch and use it to split a face to create, in effect, a small face on which to apply a load, effectively making it a point load.
Now in the frame analysis environment, there is clearly an option for 'force' and one for 'continuous force' which the description clearly describes as a uniformly distributed load. However, when I run the simulation (on a 2m long 100mm x 50mm x 4mm Rectangular hollow beam) with a normal load in the middle of the beam (1m offset); the maximum moment comes out at 500000 Nmm or 500 Nm. By my reckoning the moment should be 1000 Nm as the basic formula for a moment from a point load is M = F*D (Moment = Force * Distance). However, to get 500 Nm, it looks like Inventor is using M = (F*x^2)/2 where x is the midspan of the beam (in this case 1m). .is a normal load in frame analysis the same as a UDL? If so..how to I make it a point load?
There are also some errors stating instability of type 2 at various nodes, I've used both Pinned and Floating constraints at either end of the beam.

I have all of my data in an Oracle database (Gas Enterprise Model). I need to join the pipe (Line) with the meter (point) in order to have the attributes of both for a report.
A query on geometry in Oracle definitely did not work and doing an overlay analysis in Map3D strips the attribute data when I create a buffer. There is nothing to join on for the tables, A Network analysis will not work because the lines are for services and don't have their connected distribution.

backburner is a good tool, but it doesnt always work as expected... everything that is not an image is simply ignored while sent over the network. hence problems of "missing map". (and the server does not render anything if anything is missing) be it an audio file, or anything else. like the point cache file. max has no problem to send the XML file, but will not even look at the MC that is linked. those particular ones are giving me a very bad time dealing with them.
is there a way to trick max into baking point cache into a vertex animation or something ? (i know maya does it, but i never found a way for that in max) or maybe tricking backburner into sending EVERY files related to the max file. also, the "save as archive" doesnt take it eighter. i suspect someone forgot to implement it in the function..

I am using Civil 3D 2013. I work in an office where we have a few different flavors of Autocad (LT, MEP, regular vanilla AutoCAD etc...) and versions (2010 LT, 2011, 2012, 2013).
For the most part there isn't much inter-office drawing coordinate that has to happen, but there is the occasional project where multiple disciplines (Structural, Mechanical and Civil Site) have to share drawings.
The specific problem I am having is when I share my 2013 Civil 3D drawing with a user using 2011 MEP. He gets the typical rectangle for the proxy objects (in my case, my pipe networks for sanitary and storm drain). We've tried downloading and installing various object enablers, but there doesn't seem to be one for a 2013 to 2011 scenario. So I setup my parts to be on layers that he can just turn off. HOWEVER... the actual pipe network (not the structures, parts, labels etc... the network itself) ends up on layer 0. For this specific project, I do the old (ssget "x" '((8 . "0")) search to select all objects on layer 0, add those objects to a selection set (pselect), then in my modify objects dialog I filter for pipe networks, then change the layer to something other then 0.
While this is a workaround that works for me, what I really want to know is if there is a way that I can change the default layer that the network (again, not pipes, structures or text, the actual network) so I don't have to use the workaround. Any thoughts?
P.S. It's killing me that I had to create a new Autodesk login and now all my AutoCAD "street cred" is lost

How do you perform a traverse adjustment using a fbk file?
I have imported a fbk file through a network in the database. It is a quick loop that was run in the parking lot. The initial set up was 1 BS 2 the stations were 3, 4, 5, and the final FS was 6. 5 and 6 were the overlapping leg of 1 BS 2.

I am a newbie just start learning how to use AutoCAD in both 2D and 3D.
I have drawn a 3D polyline, and putting two circles with different diameters on both end, trying to loft it and create a horn-shaped like object.
For some reason, AutoCAD keeps complaining the path I selected is not valid, and so I can't do the loft operation. However, I have 'tested' the path with sweep function, and it works.

I have been working with autocad for approximately five months. I feel as though I have a pretty good grasp of the program's capabilities and commands, but I'm stumped. I've successfully imported a 3dm file to autocad 2012 and all of the geometry is present in autocad (it is not a 2d wireframe), but I am unable to perform boolean operations on it.
The model has also taken on a strange pale blue hugh, though the wirefram is lavender (unless I explode it and then unionize it several times over. Unfortunately this results in an issue with surface faces intersecting with one another, as well as a loss of geometry). The model cannot be converted to a surface nor a solid which means that it is not water-tight. This is not a model that I have created. I've been tasked by my employer to make several changes to it. Why (without exploding it) I cannot perform boolean operations.

I have an assembly as a template that was created by a previous employee. There are known variables that are controlled with an Excel spreadsheet.
What I am attempting to do is create a VB form that the user can input the known variables and then have the program open the template, perform the changes, and copy to the vault. Sounds easy enough. A few caveats:
If I store the template in the Vault (preferred), how do I perform a "Copy Design" with a VB6 program?If I store it on a hidden network drive, this prevents users from screwing it up, but then I have to open each indivual file and perform a "SaveAs". Also easy enough. But, since the previous employee linked each component of the assembly to the Excel file, I would need to perform a "Change Source" to the newly created Excel spreadsheet in each component. Not sure how that is done. I do have VB2010 Express, but just not as comfortable with it as VB6. (I know, get with the current .Net)

I am working with Inventor 2013 Professional. For some reason, after a crash last night, Inventor takes anywhere from five to twenty seconds to perform simple tasks. Things like Constraints, geometry projection, and saving are taking way too long. This is all of a sudden.
This is a simple project consisting of 10 simple parts.

I have inventor 2012 and I´m having trouble doing a cut boolean operation to two solids. One is a revolved elipse, so it´s a kind of egg, and the other one is an extruded rectangle.
I want to cut the egg in the rectangular solid, so I can obtain a rectangular solid with an empty egg space inside. I tried to use the "derived" command, so I derived the egg from the rectangular solid, and used the combine command, but with no success. Right now I have two separated solids on the same file (the egg and the extruded rectangle).

I previously used PS CS on XP Pro and all was fine. I then upgraded to Vista. Since I reverted back to XP Pro I keep getting error messages.
When I use the 'Open as' command, I get:
"Could not complete your request because it is not a valid Photoshop document" (yet it's a JPG) - works ok if I just usen File >Open.
When I try and shut/close down the file/program, I get:
"Could not complete the Close command becuase there is not enough memory (RAM)"
Strangley enought these messages then just disappear. Really stuggling to use this software due to the annoying pop up messages.

I have begun experimenting with bump-mapping procedures, and I decided to create a mask which would create the effect of a three-dimensional rectangular pyramid with a flat top. So far I have only created raised bump effects with the Gaussian Blur filter, but this tool apparently has it's limits in that it won't raise any shape by more than a quarter inch or so on the screen - after a solid black rectangle is blurred beyond 30 or so it loses it's impact on the colored background.
So I thought that maybe I could use the Blend tool, which can produce a longer gradient of white on black for a more gradual and longer bumping. Problem is that I only seem to have one layer of selection available, and I want that radial grade set for angles to operate on the area outside of what would be the flat area atop my pyramid, and I cannot get it to blend anywhere other than within my selected area. I sort of need to make Blend respond like the Bucket Fill tool to a defined area, but it seems that this would require a secondary selection border (sort of like making Blend act on a broad ring, but a rectangular one. ). I thought of simply placing a layer for the pyramid top over a rectangle with the Blend effect, but I think the gradient should begin outside of the top rectangle, not under its center. Also, I would need to merge these two layers (probably as another image unless GIMP allows the merging of cherry-picked layers). Anyway, what would be your procedure for producing this effect (any that works and produces a long, even grade from outside a flat area to the ground below)?
The last idea I mentioned (which I doubted would be satisfying anyway) would require me to merge the two layers, one for the flat pyramid top and another for the larger surrounding area which would set up the effect for grading to the ground below. It would be no biggie to do this, but here I discovered a particularly awful GIMP bug when I tried opening another image while using Radial. I have been working with GIMP for a couple of years as a practical tool for plotting project map locations with a few symbols which I've created using the same, but nothing requiring what I'm trying to do now. I have often had multiple images open, with one box listing my layers, and I have up until now been able to rely on it to report what layers I had to work with for the image I am currently working in. Now it's getting really crazy. I wanted to test the results of bumping white on black in different shapes to colored backgrounds, using different radial effects or different blurring effects, so I started with newly created images which I would compare. Working in the new images the Layers box displayed the new layers which I had created for each new image. For example, I bump-mapped a mask for a cone on a solid blue background, removed the layer visibility for the mask so that I could view the results. What I saw was NOT the effects of the mask on my blue background but the bump background showing what I had done with a rectangle mask in the image I was previously working on! The Layers box did not change, so no I could not have switched windows by accident. If the other window image window was still present (further unhappy experimentation revealed that it didn't have to be from the point after the new image window was spawned), it did not contain the cone effects nor any layers which I had just created. I have experienced this both on my work machine (Windows XP) and my home laptop (Linux).

On just one image this would be a no brainer, I'd just use the paint brush or similar tool to wipe over a section I want covered and use the crop tool to get the image size and position I'm after. The thing is though, I'd like to do the same edit and crop to a series of photos to keep them all consistent and it's beyond me how to do that in PS5. I find tips on using scripts, batch processing or stacking images that seem to defy the English language and don't address the two simple little things I want to do to these images.
Any resource, that could accomplish what I'd like to think should be a simple task for such an expensive program?

I need to rename a number of files to specific names which are not based on the current names. Simple to do outside of LR5 but I do not want to lose the related edit data which I believe to be the case if I do it outside of LR.
Assuming the name is stored in the metadata is there anyway to access that directly to perform the rename?
