View 9 RepliesI want to add northing, easting and the elevation (point of the middle in the top layers) in section views annotation as you see in the picture, I tried my best but I couldn’t find how to do it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know what the point of the false northing and easting is as it's defined in some coordinate systems. My understanding was this was an issue many years ago so that any coordinate values that were extracted for use in a db would be positive values. However, I'm not sure that is an issue any longer for most applications so is there any point to using a coordinate system with those values?

how can i enter that into autocad (2010) and find its location?
I am working on a pipeline profile. I have survey information (existing surface) and the horizontal alignment. I have created an existing surface, a pipe alignment, and a surface profile/profile view.
In the profile view, it only showed the existing surface. Now I have taken the design information of the pipeline and drawn in the vertical alignment on the profile view.
I need a surveyor to go out and shoot the top of pipe at high points, low points, and select points in between.
I have placed a pvi for each of these locations.
I need to know how to either spit out a table of these points that will include northings and eastings or create cogo points from the pvis so that i can create a table from the points that will include northings and eastings.
I would like to create a toolbar command to label northing and easting. I know I can label it using Note Label, but can I make this into a macro with a shortcut button?

I've got a user who imports points into the survey database and RANDOMLY the points will be shifted on average 27 feet in the northing and 4 feet in the easting. She notices this because she'll check a point and see tht the northing and easting varies from the grid northing and easting (I've attached an image to view) She will then discard the drawing and begin a new one only to import the data and now it imports correctly. The behavior is completely random and it's happening on multiple projects.
All the projects begin with the same template. All the settings (drawing settings and survey settings) have been set to US Survey Foot. It's weird because once the issue is noticed it can be fixed by simply beginning another drawing and re-importing the data, but it has happened on projects where she's already got pre-existing data.
how would i add a static offset to the both the northing and easting to all my points? i need to add 3.02 feet to the northing and 0.56 feet to the easting. elevation is good, but the positions all need to be shifted.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI need to export to an Excel Spread Sheet (along a 15,000 foot alignment) the Station and Norhing-Easting at every 100' station tic. The only solution I can think of is to place a point at every 100' tic and export the points to a file. I can then put in Excel and edit the point number to reflect the correct station.

I have a "gps block" that spits out the proper coordinates but i am not sure how to move to a specif point. My layout is set up such that when i use my "gps block" on a known point it spits out the northing and easting, however, when i try to actually type in a specif northing and easting, it is no where near the point i am looking for on the layout.

After reading several forum threads I don't think CAD allows me to change the coordinate system of model space from map coords to northing easting coords, as we can in GIS.

I would like to sample that surface at very specific locations -- I could produce the required points in PNE format.
What I want is to find the way to: (1) import those points, (2) sample elevation from the surface at those locations, and (3) export the 3D poitns in PNEZ format.
I am trying to create an elevation label that will give me the spot elevation followed by the letters "TC" and then on the line below subtract 4 inches from the elevation followed by the letters "BC". It's easy enogh to add the letters but the simple equation of elevation - 4 inches eludes me.

A few weeks ago I did not have this problem but once my computer was switched to the company's global server and c3d was reinstalled the problem appeared. Furthermore (post switchover), when a colleage of mine prepared a simple test drawing with just a line and a point, he was able to snap to that line without the point changing elevation. When he sent that drawing to me and I tried snapping the point to the object, the same problem occured with the point taking the elevation of the line object. I suspect it is a system variable issue
i have some existing drainage pipe and structures in a base plan that i need to change the invert (which is the easy part) and the top elevation to the existing top elevation that does not meet the minimum presect in civil 3d 2012 is there a way to change these min. to match my exisitng elevation for example i have a catch basin invert is 15.45 top is 17.56 with a 18" rcp the cover will be less than 12" and i need to change this.

I was wondering if there is any way to dump out all system variables with current value in a text file. One way would be to have the variable names already preset in a list of strings then extract them. But is there any other faster way? I need to compare some drawings side by side.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI work in a manufacturing facility and we are trying to come up with a way to extract data from an AutoCAD file in to a .KML or .CSV file which gives coordinate points, etc.
This will be used in a mapping-type software to display/highlight areas of the plant with zooming capabilities and information shown on the left-side. We are trying to make it look something like Google Maps, so it can used to determine areas of the plant undergoing work, lighting zones, etc.
In a nutshell, I want to be able to extract coordinate data from our layout(s) which can used to pinpoint locations on the map and highlight regions, etc. Perhaps it could export data in to Excel with attributes assigned to the coordinates which give Area, Bay Location, etc. The initial thought was to somehow export this to a .KML file and use that as a starting point.
I have a program that I used years ago to extract attributes from AutoCAD into excel. The VBA program is in excel. It is Attribute extraction Utility for AutoCAD Release 14. I want to use it again for 2014 but when I run it I get a compile error can't find project or library and it highlights the the following code "set doc = ACAD.ActiveDocument". Below is the entire VBA sub routine.

I am doing a project where am required to open AutoCAD Database and Extract Data from AutoCAD.I am using VB.Net as Front End.I am not using NetLoad.
Directly i am opening the AutoCAD Drawing and trying to access the data.
acadApp = CreateObject("AutoCAD.Application")
acadApp.Visible = False
Dim ValCount As Integer = 0
'acadDoc = acadApp.Documents.Open(Files(ValCount), True, Type.Missing)
acadApp.Documents.Open("C:SomeDwg.dwg", True, Type.Missing)
acadApp.Visible=false
Now using acadApp i am trying to extract Data as AcadApp has AutoCAD Drawing
Imagine i have a polyline(2d or 3d doesn't really matter),and i want to extract the coordinates info of every vertex on the polyline from start to end.
How do i do that in AutoCAD?And if not is there a way to do it on any of the verticals?
I have to tabulate the X and Y co-ordinates along a polyline at 1 metre intervals. I have divided the polyline into segments of one metre and have tried to use a command called data extraction. So I use this command and individually click on each point. The end result gives me the X and Y coordinates in the order I have picked them however when I put it into a table on the drawing it messes up the order?

I tried using block with attributes and field which refer to a dimension line but it's too complicated and takes far more time than just check them by hand.

Say tag1 value to layer1, tag2 value to layer2,entity1 to layer-entity1 .The source blocks are all in one layer containing texts and symbols/entities.

I have multiple closed areas that i want to show the sq ft. Now i use the command multileader then click to insert a feild.

I have tried this question before but it is now becomming a little more urgent. I would like to extract data I can see in a viewport then add it to the data it finds in the paperspace of the sheet. I don't want the entire drawing (modelspace) just what is seen in the viewport. Then do this process again and so on. 1 excel sheet per 1 sheet.
