donaldo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I have been sent a zip files for some road drawings that were produced in civil 3D. I have successfully downloaded them all however in the contour drawing zip file the contours do not appear when I open the main drawing though they are visible in the preview window. I have reloaded the xref as some are shown as not loaded, I have set a new path back to the xref folder and as a final attempt I was advised to download a 3D enabler from autodesk which I have done but the contours still do not show up. (In their place are rectangular boxes labelled surface elevation label) I have very little experience using xrefs so I'm possibly missing something fundamental but any pointers appreciated.

Cad64 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 When you say 3D enabler, you're referring to the Civil3D enabler? https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/downloads/caas/downloads/content/civil-3d-2019-object-enabler.html Check your PROXYSHOW variable and make sure it's set to 1. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2018/ENU/AutoCAD-Core/files/GUID-E0F980FF-53A5-4094-B259-B1143F8C9B89-htm.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
