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

2 Comments

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.
