Dragged state for above line labels on long sections – Station & Elevation etc use stacked text rather than as composed – remove arrow head size from dragged state to remove step in leader, set all origin points as middle centre

Structures Added to Sample Line Materials Using Criteria Can’t Be Deleted/Edited
After adding a whole bunch of materials to my sample lines using criteria, I can’t delete any of the structures from the list…
However If these are added manually using the buttons then you can delete them.. Kind of frustrating if you have to edit your materials quickly…
See example drawing link here
You will also need custom subassemblies to be attached here
Look in DS-TSF-ULTIMATE.dwg
Horizontal Geometry will not display in bands on a data shortcutted alignment
See link to download example drawing
The horizontal geometry band displays no values until the alignment is promoted. Breaking the reference to our alignment, which is not a suitable workaround IMO as we have too many profile views, alignments that would need to be recreated if something changes…
We really need a proper fix for this ASAP.
Before no values displayed
After, promoting the alignment, removing the band and re-adding ,the values now display.. (not a suitable workaround!)
Autocad Loses Focus when selecting civil 3d objects
UPDATE: Autodesk is aware of this issue and can reproduce the problem CaseNo:10466148, This only happens when you ahve your properties palette open.
This is a difficult one to explain. So I have made a screencast to show you here
But basically when selecting something that is a civil 3d object with a “Left-Right” or “right-left” selection and you drag your mouse outside the autocad window (say the start menu). Autocad no longer is the current program. Requiring the user to select the autocad icon on start menu. Or click on the top bar to regain focus..
Very frustrating as my commands often have to be done twice as a result. OR more often then not a complicated selection during a command that may have taken a little while is lost.
Additionally once this has occurred once. A left-right selection on the object without even dragging outside will continue to allow the program to lose focus!
See example file and explanation below so you can recreate problem for yourselves.
Surface Style Layers for Analysis Greyed out
In Civil 3D 2014 you could change the layers for surface styles for slopes/directiosn etc. This no longer works in 2015
But now they are just greyed out? Is there something that toggles this so I can manage the layers again?
This makes transparency particularly difficult to manage for analysis
When trimming with 3D polyline and Live Preview on, Autocad Freezes
Getting an error in 2015 when trimming lines with a 3d polyline. (see attached drawing).
Download 0011 – trimming 3d polylines 2015_test1
I select the complex 3d polyline as the trimming line, then when I go to trim the lines. IF I accidentally hover over the 3d polyline I am using to trim it just freezes for up to 5 minutes.
If I turn off live preview I don’t get the error?
The more complex the 3d polyline the longer the wait!
What’s wrong?
Deleting an Input Parameter in Subassembly Composer will freeze program
Create two input parameters, rename one, delete the other. Subassembly composer freezes.
been there since 2013! please fix
Have been told that this will be fixed in the later release!
Osnaps and overlapping surfaces causes civil 3d to freeze/crash
Well after some basic investigation I have found the problem.
Overlapping surfaces that both have contours displayed will cause freezing when osnaps is turned on.
Download the example file here – onsnaps-freeze1, see image below for explanation. Try and draw a polyline over the top of the overlapping area with onsnaps turned on
I can confirm that this happens in both Civil 3D 2014 and 2015. With 2015 recovering slighltly faster than 2014. say 3-5 minutes instead of 10 – 15minutes
Delete Civil 3D object with broken references
Is it possible to just be able to delete broken references without having to go through all the popup boxes to repair them first…
Very annoying!
Surfaces with holes do not paste correctly into other surfaces
A common problem with Civil 3D. If you have a surface with a hole, the hole will not be filled with the surface you are pasting into. It will triangular across the hole like below.
Pond with hole in middle
When pasted together the middle is wiped out. Rather than the middle been taken by the existing surface pasted in first.
I know you can create a “hole surface” as workaround, but this isn’t as dynamic.
