I have exported one point file from arc gis software to autocad. It is opening in autocad but I 'am not able to change the size of those points. Though I can change the color. I also created a small symbol and tried to match it by using MA option but it is not of any use.
View 2 RepliesI setup a dwg with all of my annotations sized just right for model and paper, but when I XREF them to my dwg that has all of my sheets to plot. The points look the same on my model tab, but when I go to layout the points are huge. I then made sure I had the same styles and drawing settings in both dwgs.

Is there a way to change the leader arrowhead size without changing the dimension arrow/tick size?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMleader arrow head didn't change size when change the scale on Object property?
The Arrow head size didn't change corresponding to the scale, i included the pic below, the top picture, the arrow head was set at .18" but was really small when i plot out, so i wanted to make it bigger, when i changed to .50" or .75" or even 1" the arrow head became even smaller than .18". Only when .18" than the arrow side is legible

I am trying to change the height of the points. "pntelev layer" all at one time. The drawing was giving to me by our surveyor, and I am having a hard time finding a command to edit multiple points at the same time.
I can select one point and utilize block editor to change the height, but is there a way to select multiple points and edit all of them at one time?
I am using AutoCad 2012 and I believe that is one of my issues, b/c in the past when using Civil3D I had a points tab, and that is where we went to edit things like this.
I attached a .dwg
Is there any method in Civil 3D change the points number?
View 9 Replies View RelatedIn AutoCAD leader settings you can set the number of point so the leader looks standard. I am searching for this in inventor and am coming up empty. I have seen other engineering drawings where I can tell that the generated data in the balloon was entered from the parts column in the B.O.M. But instead of part numbers, I have seen text. and I have mine set up to generate the Balloons that way but I do not like the leader type it is giving me. The attachment is what my leaders are looking like in inventor.

Just starting using Civil 3D 2012 version.
I am trying to find out if there is a way to change the code for the Corridor Section Points Report. See attachment.
In page 1 of the attachment you will see the names that we prefer for the different zones in our assembly as per our Standards.
On page 2 is the default names that C3D spits out as defaults (under String Cut).
We are running C3D 2012.
there are some points in my dwg that I can't move. I can rotate but not move. I noticed in the point file the ones that I can't move have a grey square in the cell with the point number and the ones I can move have an empty circle. How do I change the square to a circle?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am new to Civil 3D upgrading from LDD2009. I am trying to edit some point descriptions brought in through a fieldbook import through my survey database. Under my survey database in Survey Points I hit EDIT POINTS and it brings up the SURVEY POINTS EDITOR. My points are listed as white observed points but when I click on the description cell it won't allow me to change anything.

How to change the number of decimal places of the elevation of points?
as the points are labeled with their elevations, I couldn’t find how the number of the decimal places of the elevation be chosen. In this case, I wanted to let the number of the decimal places to be zero.
How to set the number of the decimal places to be zero or 1, for example? how to sepcify it height (size)?
Screenshot below.
I can only change the layer color.
But I can't change the cross simbol, its drwaing scale.
Also cant view the point number,....
Maybe I cant view or set these properties when points were added using "Point Files" option.??

I wanted to select dimensions and change the precision to 2 decimal points.
For any dimensions I positioned on the object (like the width of the block centered in the block)...rather than above, below or off to the side. I am unable to select that dimension. Every time my cursor goes towards the dimension to select it.....the block itself is automatically selected. Any dimension outside the boundary of the object is fully selectable to edit.
I want to know why I can't change coordinate of points while importing points from Points menu?
I created new file, assigned any coordinate system to the model. Opened Import points windows there, created new file format which there I assigned Coordinate zone transform to the coordinate system of the text file and imported my text file. But the coordinates of points didn't changed or transformed. When I do it by Survey in Toolspace its works good. I want to know whether I did any wrong or it is problem of software.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to get to know the size/weight of a custom shape, measured in points. I basically need to get to know which of two almost similar shapes are the physically biggest.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI often create points manually. You get that dialogue box where you choose the layer and the default local coordinates, etc etc.
The local coordinates setting always defaults to Northing/Easting. (ditto the grid coordinates).
I set it to Easting/Northing as is standard around these parts and do my points, but if I close the box, when I reopen it to add more points later, it is back to Northing/Easting.
I cannot find a variable to control this behaviour.
I never need points to have north first and would like it to default to Easting/Northing at all times. Yes I'm using the Metric template.
Is there a way to change this default?

I imagine that I can select the create points and manipulate them. Am I dreaming?
What setting have I changed: Just today, when I try to move a point, "unite" shapes, or join 2 points, the points jump out of position. I've turned off "snap to grid" and "align new objects to pixel grid". I've even copied and pasted the artwork into a new "default" file. I've also restarted AICS5. I'm sure I'm overlooking something obvious.

I have a large surface (over 1.5 million points and 20 000hectares)
I need to get a point file .csv from the TIN to be able to use it in another program.
-so i've extracted the points from my surface, but they are Autocad points.
-next step is to convert them to civil 3d points.
-I can not select them all when converting them or my computer crashes.
-so i select about 25 000 at a time, the converting takes roughly 10 minutes.
and i have over 1.5 million points to do.
how can i speed this up.
will more ram useful?
