kelvscc92 Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Hello everyone, I'm kind of new to CivilCad and would like to learn more about this software. Currently, I'm experiencing one the problems - which is to create survey drawing by importing Ascii file to the CivilCad. Apparently, i have done importing but i have no ideas how to actually utilize the function of linework code sets and survey points stuff. When i saw most of the tutorial videos, once they imported, the survey drawing actually generated with all the lines, while mine is only with tons of points instead. I will upload the ascii in txt format as a reference for you guys and your help issss soo much appreciated. Please be noted the the arrangement is (PNEZD). The D so called description is code at number as per surveyor works.:D try for survey.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFeSTeR Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I've not used CivilCAD but couldn't you issue a LINE or POLYLINE command at the beginning of that .txt file and then copy / paste the contents or drag it into the drawing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 CivilCAD is a program by Sivan Design that works within AutoCAD Bricscad and ZWCAD. Your profile says you are using Civil 3D which is an AutoDesk vertical program. So, which is it? If you are using CivilCAD then change your profile.

BIGAL Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Kelsvcc92 you need a DWT that matches the area you are in, simplest is metric or Feet, all of the librrary functions are critical for the automatic generation of line work, whats contourable, breaklines etc. Where are you in the world, ask nicely and someone may have a DWT that you can use. Your file is ok but you need a library to match the descriptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
