I found in my last point I needed a starting point if I’m going to post little VBA macros. Asking to delete a bunch of lines from other projects seems a bit more difficult than it should be. After the jump lets create a starting point for future VBA posts.
Lovely. Autodesk released a tech solution today to Network deployments that did not copy the palette contents properly during the deployment creation. Read the full text here. And did you know that you can subscribe via RSS to ALL Civil related technical solutions? Go to this page and toggle on the areas you want information about, and you’ll get a custom RSS feed spitting out all the fresh Knowledge Base information you can handle.
Not sure how to deal with feeds? Here’s a quick Adesk primer, and here’s my link from last year’s AU presentation. Short answer? Outlook 2007 will open a feed.
I’ve updated the links in the right-sidebar to reflect that the 2010 editions of Mastering and Introducing are available for preorder. Both of these texts are in PDF format right now, but will ship in mid-summer. Thanks to Scott and Rick for their great efforts as co-authors this year, and to Lisa and Jonathan for Tech Ed work!
Civil 3D allows one to select where a structure label should go in the settings for the Pipe Network. If you have multiple structure labels that require placement at different locations on the structure in a Profile View it can get a bit repetitive either moving the labels manually or going into the Settings and changing depending on what type of label you are going to place. After the jump I’ll go over how to create a macro to change where the structure label should be placed on the structure.
As cool and as powerful as styles are in Civil3D, there is an ongoing challenge to keep up with what styles affect what objects and which styles are new to each release. As part of a software development project underway, I found myself in the need to have an easy guide of all the styles in Civil3D 2010.
For all of you I took the format a little further and made it look pretty. Come to the ‘other side’ to get the PDF.
