HELP! I Can’t Write to my Survey Database!
Posted by Jason Hickey on 23rd February 2008
So you’ve decided that you’re going to tackle the two most often misunderstood things inside Civil 3D - Vault and the Survey Database. You’ve created a Vault project and you flip over to the survey tab of toolspace and notice that there’s now a Survey Database with the same name. Cool! This software really is smart, it knew I was going to create a Survey Database! You get ready to get down and get busy, and create a network - BZZZT! You get an error saying that the Survey Database isn’t writable, and that you may not have permissions to access it. Now you go into full-on panic mode, eventually slipping off into the muttering frenzy of how badly this software sucks and how it won’t do what you want it to do. Settle down, there’s a really good explanation. Follow the link to lower your blood pressure just a little bit.
