AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Intersection - Curb Return
Feb 7, 2011C3D 2010 user
I have a problem modeling intersection. This is first time I am modeling intersection. I have gone thru' and actually did all intersection tutorials offered by C3D and naturally I felt like I am ready for it.
But in real world I am not. I am trying to model intersection and I keep getting error as "Value on Wrong side of alignment to profile". I looked at target mapping and thinks so that all is okay (may be not). I am attaching snapshot of error message as well as plan view. I wanted to forward actual dwg but size is too large to post.
Point to note:This is Left lane driving setting. I realized this after I created alignment/profile/assemblies but before I tried intersection modeling.
I did 8 iterations before this post.

AutoCad :: Correct Command Prompt Follows Return Key
Oct 24, 2012I've noticed this annoying trait in AutoCAD 2012 when drawing a polar array that I hadn't noticed in previous versions. I used to get stuck in a loop having to repeatedly enter the number of items in the array trying to get it to move on to the next command prompt of what angle of fill I required.
Example
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
CMD = Enter number of items or [Angle between/expression] <4>:
<Type in 20 and hit Return key>
Ad infinitum...
I then discovered that this only seems to happen when the cursor is left over the centre of the array you clicked on. But if it's moved to one side the correct command prompt follows the Return key. This isn't intuitive as you have to leave go of the mouse to input the required number at the keyboard, so it tends to be wherever you just clicked, and you end up in the pointless loop.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Return Of Interactive Terrain Shaping
Feb 25, 2013I did a brief search in this forum on the Civil 3D 2012 Interactive Shaping Terrain package previewed by Autodesk in January/February 2012, and couldn't find any recent news on this package. Is it going to be released as an add-on sometime soon? Is it already available for download, and I'm simply not aware of it? Here's a link to the latest status of the package from AutoDesk on the issue (dated 2012):

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Return Name Of Different Folders?

Is there a way to find the name of the second folder?

The string length of the characters for each of the first, second, third (and so on) folders are different, which means I can't count character using the "substr" function.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Way To Find And Replace Carriage Return
Sep 18, 2013I am wondering if there is any way to 'find & replace' a carriage return; specifically to add one in. I have figured how to take it out.
the reason I want to do this, is because 'tcount' will increment, by the amount specified, for each line of mtext; I have multiple lines of 2 line mtext, and I want to 'tcount' one number in the first line of each instance of mtext.
Now, I know I can do it manually, and in fact I would have had it done almost an hour ago if had, but this issue crops up every now and again, where if there was a fix or work-around to the 'tcount' issue (such as somehow inserting a carriage return) my efficiency could be increased.. for example I could get through renumbering 30 instances of 2 or 3 line mtext across 15 different drawings..
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Return Borrowed License From A Different Computer
Jul 11, 2013How to Return Borrowed License From a Different Computer.
I ordered a new computer with C3D 2013 installed. I also had C3D on my old computer and had borrowed a license from our company’s server until the end of July. C3D has since been uninstalled from the old computer without first having the license returned. Now I don’t have a license for my new computer.
Is there some way of releasing the borrowed license from the old computer? If I reload C3D back on the old computer will it recognize the old borrowed license and allow me to release it?

AutoCad 2D :: Find Replace Text With Carriage Return?
Sep 18, 2013I am trying to replace multiple instances of a multiline text entity throughout several drawings and can’t seem to find a good way to make this come to fruition. (must use carriage return to differentiate between other instances of the text) ie
Replace:
Name
Location
Date
Vs
Replace:
Name
I need it to replace the text in the instance that has multiple text lines, and not the name where the text is on it’s own. I have seen mention of using “u+000A” as a carriage return in older versions, but I can’t get it to work.

AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: GetBoundingBox Return Bad Results For Z Value
Aug 5, 2013The lisp routine displays point values of a boundry (window) of an object using the vla_getBoundingBox.
The concept of the routine is to select any object and return two Point window value.
This routine works, but I noticed the Z point is changing depending on the object type drawn in 2d space elevation 0.0.
Test: Open a new drawing. Set the snap value to 1.0 just to make is easy to see values.
Draw three objects: A horizonal line, A Rectangle and Arc.
Load the gbb.lsp and run it, gbb
Select all three objects and notice the results.
It appears that objects the have an curve change the Z value (very little), but Z should be zero.
Try it with a polyline and then PEdit and FIT and re-check the Z value.

AutoCad :: How To Purge 3D Info And Return Drawing To Its Original 2D Functions
Feb 17, 2012I have not used AC for 3d drawings in years. But I do a lot of 2d in AC2012. Yesterday, I was killing time and took a look at some of the 3d capabilities while in an existing drawing. I inserted a few 3d objects, but I eventually deleted them. Now I notice that the UCS icon has become the 3d UCS, and my snaps no longer function as expected. Is there some way to purge the 3d info and return the drawing to it's original 2d functions?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Return Coordinates Of LWPOLYLINE
Oct 21, 2013I recently wrote a lisp routine that was supposed to get the 4 coordinates of a rectangle (LWPolyline). It worked fine in *MY* tests. But when someone else ran it, the routine operated as though the order of the points had been rearranged.
How can I get the points AND the order in which they belong?
Here's a sketch to show you what I mean. As part of my troubleshooting, I had a lisp routine draw a new pline using the points gathered by my first routine. The result of that on the left. On the right is the result of that when someone else runs the two routines.
Here's the code I used to get the points.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Intersections 2010 - Change Curb Return Radius
Feb 24, 2012Changing the curb return radius after the intersection has been created. I am able to go back to the curb return parameters dialog and enter a different value, but once I hit Enter or OK the value reverts back to the one I orginally used.
So it looks like I have to delete the intersection object and re-start the wizard from scratch. Not that it's a big deal, just thought there might be a way to make the change once the intersection is built.

Oct 8, 2013I need to return the entity name of the largest (longest closed) polyline in a selection set. At this point I have no trouble creating the selection set and even getting the area of the boundingbox, which is not the most accurate way to find the true size, but it's a start. The part that has me stumped is: if I iterate through the selection set, then how can I compare one to the other when I have access to the current entity. I've been staring at examples of lambdas but it seems to me that iterating through the selection set is going about it wrong in the first place.
