Terminal updated: 2022-02-25

ClosedExisting Surface - Boundary

Selection 1 - Standard procedure

This workflow is intended for an existing surface file that has no other objects in it.

  1. Open drawing file < Project_ID >\base\Surf-Ex.dwg
  2. Prospector tab > Surfaces > Exist > Correct-click > Surface Properties...
    1. Information tab
      1. Surface style = EX Border
  3. Left-click select the border of the Exist surface
  4. Surface Data Reference: Exist contextual ribbon > Surface Tools panel > Extract from Surface dropdown > Extract Objects
    1. Property - Border: selected
    2. OK
  5. See Export Civil 3D files to AutoCAD format #xprt
  6. Exported file proper noun and location: const\CD-BaseData\ < Construction_ID >-Surf-Ex-Bndry.dwg

  7. Close Surf-Ex.dwg without saving.

Option 2 - Culling workflow - Create a new temporary DWG file for export

This workflow may exist used when at that place is boosted information in the surface file and it may be easier to create a temporary file to export the existing surface border.

  1. Application menu icon > New
    1. Select C:\WisDOT\Stnd\C3D20XX\Templates\Begin-dwg\survey-start.dwt
    2. Open
  2. Data reference the existing surface used during blueprint.
  3. Prospector tab > Surfaces > Exist > Right-click > Surface Properties...
    1. Information tab
      1. Surface style = EX Border
  4. Left-click select the edge of the Exist surface
  5. Surface Data Reference: Exist contextual ribbon > Surface Tools panel > Excerpt from Surface dropdown > Extract Objects
    1. Belongings - Border: selected
    2. OK
  6. Save the temporary file (example: const\Surf-Ex-Bndry for export.dwg)
  7. See Export Civil 3D files to AutoCAD format #xprt
  8. Exported file name and location: const\CD-BaseData\ < Construction_ID >-Surf-Ex-Bndry.dwg
  9. Delete temporary dwg

ClosedProposed roadway features

Information included in this submittal are proposed concrete features of the roadway which may include but are not limited to:

  • edges of pavement
  • shoulder edges
  • curb and gutter
  • barriers

Exported file name and location: const\CD-Pattern\ < Construction_ID >-Pavt.dwg

ClosedProposed construction horizontal features

Information included in this submittal are proposed structure geometrics which may include but are not limited to:

  • structure roadway widths
  • sidewalk
  • parapets
  • abutments
  • wingwalls
  • piers
  • footings

  • does non include reinforcement details, piling locations, and girders

Alarm: This consign provides 2D representation of the judge location of proposed structure(s). These graphics are for general reference and are not to be used for structure staking or structure layout.

Export the proposed structure horizontal features used for the project'due south design and plans production.

ClosedRight-of-Style Monumentation - Lines

Consult with the person preparing the Traditional Right-of-Way plat or TPP to ensure the correct file(southward) is exported.

Data included in this submittal is as follows:

  1. Project right-of-way lines. This is a combination of the existing and proposed (FEE) right-of-mode lines
  2. Permanent Limited Easement lines
  3. Temporary Express Easement lines

Selection 1 - Existing and proposed right-of-way linear objects are stored in a single dwg file

Typical source file: < Project_ID >\rw\dwg\Ult-RW.dwg

Export the existing and proposed roadway right-of-way features used for the plat and plan production.

See Consign Ceremonious 3D files to AutoCAD format #xprt

Exported file name and location: const\CD-RW\ < Construction_ID >-Ult-RW.dwg

Option ii - Existing and proposed right-of-way linear objects are stored in carve up dwg files

Existing Right-of-Way

Typical source file: < Project_ID >\rw\dwg\ERW.dwg (Exiting right-of-mode)

Consign the existing roadway correct-of-way features used for the plat and plan production.

Run across Consign Civil 3D files to AutoCAD format #xprt

ClosedExport Civil 3D files to AutoCAD format #xprt

This workflow volition export a Ceremonious 3D cartoon to a DWG with but AutoCAD objects in it. This is required because some software packages tin import AutoCAD DWGs, but they cannot import Civil 3D objects.

  1. Open DWG file to export. Files needing to exist exported to AutoCAD DWG can be institute in FDM xix-10-43.five Categories of Digital Information Exchange in Table 43.3
  2. App Menu > Export > Export Civil 3D Cartoon
    1. Export to file type: AutoCAD DWG
    2. External DWG references: Detach
    3. Files to consign:
      1. Either Current Drawing Only or Selected drawings in source folder tin can be used. If a Civil 3D project folder contains multiple DWGs to consign, the process can be run for multiple files at in one case.
    4. Include sheets: unchecked
    5. Export Setting dialog
      1. Export file type: AutoCAD DWG
      2. DWG file version: 2010
      3. Export feature lines equally: 3D

      4. The characterization background scale factor for consign sheets: Not used

    6. Source folder: Just used if Selected drawings in source folder is selected.

    7. Destination binder: Select advisable subfolder in ConstData

    8. Consign

File pick and naming

  1. The choice method for ACAD consign is based on user preference. To minimize the number of times the tool is opened for a given project, use the following options:
    1. File to export:
      1. Selected drawings in source folder: checked
      2. Include drawings in subfolders: checked
    2. Source binder: Civil 3D project folder
  2. And then select and consign the advisable Civil 3D DWGs for each appropriate subfolder in the ConstData folder. The design surfaces for ProjectID\ConstData\CD-Blueprint\CD-Surface is the example shown in the above epitome. Repeat for each folder used past project information.
  3. File naming standards for ACAD DWG exports tin be constitute in WisDOT-C3D-ContrDataPack-Meta.docx. Using the Construction ID as a prefix and following file naming standards in WisDOT-C3D-ContrDataPack-Meta.docx volition minimize file renaming.
