Everytime I go into an old drawing I want to turn off the point markers and unnecessary subsurface featurelines to make the model preform better.
To turn off the points go into the code set and change the marker style
To remove unwanted featurelines go into the corridor and deselect those not required
Having come back from AU where i caught up with a few New Zealand Civil3d user on the last couple of days. I thought it would be a good idea to setup a New Zealand User Group on Linkedin. If your using Civil3d and want to get into contact with fellow users in New Zealand follow this link and join the group.
Last week I had an issue in a drawing with a surface volume table appearing not to be inserted. For future reference the table was actually being inserted in the drawing but as I had the UCS not set to world the picked insertion co-ordinates were taken as a world co-ordinate point that was away in the distance and hence the issue of non appearance.
Had to troubleshoot a PC today that was not loading the standard company acad.lsp file off the server.
I found using the appload command and searching the load history that an acad.lsp file was being loaded but from a different location.
Looked into this file with notepad it appears it was loaded on the PC with the 12D Exporter and was being loaded first as it was placed in the support directory of the local Civil3d install.
Learning some tricks with annotative text today. I always new you could drag the different pieces of text at different scales to separate locations, by selecting them with the grip itself and not the text object. But I did not know that you could rotate the text to a different angle for different scales by changing the rotation in the properties windows as explain in this blog post.
Reminder to myself if you want to load a .dll you have made that is stored in a network location you will get the error
unless to get around the error you have edited the acad.exe.config text file in the autocad installation directory and added the following line in orange.
Thanks Alfred for the suggestion in the Civil3d forums.here
Reminder to my self once you have set up Acroplot as per the following instructions to save common settings on a network location
You can export the settings from the registry from one machine as follows to import on another machine.
