CyberAngel Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 This is not so much an issue as an addition to the knowledge base here. If someone has had this issue before, I couldn't find it. An associate here was trying to add a couple of PIs to an alignment. When he pulled up the geometry editor toolbar, most of the buttons were greyed out and none of them worked. Part of the troubleshooting SOP is restarting AutoCAD, during which he got a message about enabling macros. The first time he had answered No. This time he said Yes, and the geometry editor worked. So be warned. There are some commands in Civil 3D that depend on macros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinc Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 I have no idea what the macro stuff was about, but this is a known bug. I forget for sure what versions it affected. I think C3D 2009, and maybe C3D 2008. As you discovered, restarting C3D clears it up, until it happens again. I never heard what triggered it, but eventually Autodesk fixed it.

This happened with C3D 2011. If it's a bug, they didn't fix it. No surprise there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMCD31 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 This happens to me in 2012 every time. I can open the geometry editor once and use it fine, but if I try to do it again it is all disabled until I restart the program. Any fixes for this yet??

There were bugs in the program then that they still haven't fixed. Don't hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 It's still an issue in C3D 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyberAngel Posted May 15 Author Share Posted May 15 ... and it's still a problem in C3D 2021. Unbelievable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
