I just recieved a file that was saved from Civil 3D I opened it in , but when I try and create survey points off the drawing, it will not let me. There's no prompt of an error. Go to Solution. If it is a C3D dwg then you will not be able to use any C3D commands in it. Only options are:. If there is linework involved, ask for a drawing exported to Autocad.
This will give you all linework ath you could then import the point file from 2 into. So there is really no way to establish any type of coordiantes or elevations for points off of this drawing? That is correct when you open a Civil3D file with civil object in it with an older version opening a dwg with the drawing will open but all the civil3D command and functionality will be disabled.
This is the way it is. Sounds good. I just had the creator of the DWG just export the file into a file so I can open it and use the C3D commands in All of the autocace drawing objects will be there, but the civil3d objects will be unavailable.
They will show up with an object enabler, but not have any intelligence. That's not quite right Give the range a name, it will default to what value is in cell A1, I find that is not very descriptive and causes a few problems down the line.
If there is an empty cell in the first row you may not be able to select the X-Y columns when you connect to the data in Map. So select the left top cells then scroll to the bottom of you data and shift-select the bottom right cell you need.
If there is more data in the file than what you need then just select the data you need. OK out of the dialog boxes and close the Administrator tools and any other dialog boxes that may still be open. Then click the connect button. You do this by clicking in the blank space under each column. Select the columns that contain the X and Y coordinates in your Excel file. Now you should have some points in your drawing with all the attributes that is in the text file.
Is there another way of doing it? All I want to do is show the X,Y as a point and the number as text. Create a new folder in your c: directory, then make a SHP connection to that folder. Then use the bulk copy function to create the shp files. The key to getting it to work is the folder must not have any files in it.
You can set its location in drawing: by clicking mouse or by entering coordinates in command line. As soon as you specify coordinates, point is built, and Point command completes execution. Point command in AutoCAD is always in normal construction mode if you call it from command line. If you have not yet changed appearance of point shape and size in AutoCAD system, then putting dot on drawing, you may not notice it. By default, in AutoCAD, point is displayed as one pixel, which is difficult to see on screen.
The Points display dialog box allows you to change display of points in drawing, which you can call:. The dialog box offers 20 styling points. Select desired point style by clicking mouse. Point size can be set:. When zooming drawing, their size will change and cause some inconvenience, so use Regen command — regeneration of current viewport or Vseregene command to regenerate all viewports. Type style of AutoCAD point I use Cross as in multiplication sign , since does not clutter up drawing and is clearly visible.
Point objects in AutoCAD are used as full-fledged drawing objects printed. In this case, AutoCAD point size type is logical to use in absolute units.
