AutoCad :: Edit Block Description Without Exploding
Feb 19, 2009I have multiple dynamic blocks that I would like to add descriptions to. If I have a block in a tool palette, I can add a description by right clicking and selecting "Properties." But I would like to add a description that shows up in the Design Center as well.
Is there a way to do this without redefining the block? Exploding makes me lose all of my dynamic properties, and I'd hate to have to recreate them.
I'm using LT 2008, by the way, so I don't have ref edit or any of that other cool stuff.

Oct 21, 2011we are updating fron LDD 2004 to Civil 3D 2012 needles to say it a huge change. I've got my template almost done I'm just having one problem. With LDD any point that came in with a raw descripitoin not within the description key it would be placed in the current layer with point number, descripton and elevation. How do I make that happen with Civil3D do I have to change my default lable settings? When I import points with a raw description not within my description key it places the point on Layer 0 and only shows the node no point number.

How can make this default to "False" in my template. I've tried changing it and then saving the template again but it reverts to true all of the time. I have to select my points and do apply desc keys whenever I import points.
AutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Set Description In IProperties
Oct 18, 2013I am sure this is extremely simple to do but I am missing something. I am wanting to set the Description of a part in the Iproperties using values from the parameters. For instance, if the part has a length value of 10 and a width value of 5 I want the Description to say: 10 x 5 Floor Sheet
I cannot figure out how to extract the parameter values and place them into the iproperties. Here is what I have tried: iProperties.Value("Project", "Description")=" =<Length> x <Width> Floor Sheet"... This gives me the following result in my description: x Floor Sheet
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Blocks For Description Keys
Jan 10, 2013Civil 3D Newbie here.
I am making a directory full of the blocks we will use for the description key file to use. My understanding is that all of these blocks (manholes, hydrants, trees...etc) should be on layer "0" and of standard size. Manholes should be about 3' in diameter, transformer pads around 4' square....etc. Essentially, 1 = 1 true scale.
Is this true?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Using Description Keys With Linework?
Jul 18, 2013I currently use Leica Viva Smartworks for surveying and it captures the linework codes in its own field, so when I export my CSV file my Descrition comes on with the feature code but the linework code is another field. Is their a way that using the Format field in the description Key that I can get the Full description field to read something like "V-DOMW-PIPE B", which would pull the feature code from the raw descrition field and the begin line code from the Linework field.

Feb 21, 2012Is there a way to change a RAW description such as EC12 +, or EC11 -, to say SWP12 +, SWP11 -
I'm not having much luck using the parameter settings. 1$
I tried Code = EC*, format=SWP1$
That didn't work... I got literally SWP1$ instead of SWP12 +
Is it a space thing? Do I have to rename all the descriptions to have a space before the parameter?
i.e. EC 12 +
I'm hoping this isn't the case and some form of wildcard can be use.

Jun 13, 2012Creating a format to keep a number following a code.
My code is BCCD#
My format is DFL CC $+
My result now is:
Raw Desc. BCCD1 B (Bottom of Concrete Ditch)
Full Desc. DFL B CC (Ditch Flow Line and Type)
I am attempting to create a key that will create the following full description from the raw description:
Raw Desc. BCCD1 B (Bottom of Concrete Ditch)
Full Desc. DFL1 CC B (Ditch Flow Line and Type)
The reason that I need to change the description is to comply with certain standard codes from an outside entity but I do not wish to change the filed coding that we use in house. I cannot seem to find a parameter that would allow me to keep the number behind the DFL descriptor
AutoCAD Inventor :: Custom IPart Description
Dec 6, 2011I have a custom iPart for a rectangular flat bar that's 100x10mm. The length is the custom field.
I would like the description in the BOM to append the length, e.g. 100x10 Flat bar-235mm. (This is so that I don't have to create a length column in the BOM just for this item).
I have tried 100x10 Flat bar - <length> but this gives an error.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Point Description Gets Truncated?
Nov 28, 2012In LDDT 2009, I was able to describe points like this: STK #32
But in Civil 3D 2013, whenever I use the # symbol, the description gets truncated. So, using the point description above, it will show up in Civil 3D 2013 as STK rather than STK #32.
Is this a setting or something that I can switch on so that the I can use symbols such as # and - in my point description?
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Null Structure Description
Apr 18, 2011We use a lot of Null Structures but then give them different descriptions. More often than not when I give them a description and then get out of the drawing, the next time I get back in it says "Null Structure" again. How can I keep the description the way I want it?
I know that "the right way" would be to have specific structures made for each of these items, but that doesn't seem to be a priority at my company..
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Description Key Set With Linework Coding
Apr 22, 2013We are using the linework coding to process our figures and the survey .txt file provided to me uses codes to begin lines with "+" & "-". For example, driveways are coded + DR1 for begin and - DR1 to end the line. The linework process works fine, its when I go to display the point in the description keys that are causing me problems. All the points that are in between the begin and end points display to the appropriate style because they are coded as DR*. The begin and end do not display correctly as the + & - isn't being recognized in the description key. I tried many alternate ways such as *DR*, + DR*, - DR*, with nothing working.
Is there a different format I need to be using? There are way to many points to go thru to move the + & - behind the code.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: How To Freeze Point Number And Description
Dec 4, 2012I just received a drawing with a bunch of points in it. One of the layer is called V-ROAD-CNTR-PNTS. Unfortunately, the point number, description, and elevation are all in that same layer. How do I keep just the elevation turned on but turn off the point description and number? When I turn off or freeze the layer V-ROAD-CNTR-PTNS, all three disappear. I just need the elevation showing.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: COGO Points Description And Styles
Sep 10, 2012How to set a default point description to match the point number. I need to match the point number and the point description as per below:
Point # = 1 - Description = 1Point # = 2 - Description = 2Point # = 3 - Description = 3and so on.
Is there a quick way to add this description once the points are already created?
Also, it seem I can't make the default style and label to work. I edited the Feature Setting on the Setting tab of the Toolspace and I made sure there's no child override. When I open the point creation menu, my default styles are there (grayed out), but when I create the points, they pick up another style and another label style.
