 Personalize Civil 3D ToolTips

Personalize Civil 3D ToolTips

2/20/2018

 

Jerry Bartels of Autodesk shows how to customize the rollover ToolTips in the Civil 3D CUI (and any ACAD-based application) to include additional property information.
From the Jerry's YouTube Channel.
and the Civil Immersion blog.

Comments

Technically, I'd call this personalization not customization unless you're going to share the CUI tweaks.
Because of WTMI in Civil 3D for some Features, folks also ask how to turn off the ToolTips.
You can change this for individual named Features in the Info tab or via the Feature Settings for all Features of a Feature type.

Civil 3D Assembly Management Tools

Jeff Bartels of Autodesk explores some of the benefits of using the Civil 3D Toolspace Prospector tab to work with and manage Assemblies.

and the Civil Immersion blog.

Comments

Right Click is your Friend in Civil 3D.
Your initial take away should be that you can somewhat protect your current Assembly collection by removing them from Modelspace.

You should recognize that Civil 3D considers Assemblies, Subassemblies, and PKTs as Data in the Civil 3D object model not as a Style. In other words, Assemblies are more like Point Groups (a display collector) than Points (the collected data). Needless to say - there are referenced Styles attached to Assemblies.

The current glaring lack of even basic Import and Export tools for Assembly collections in Civil 3D is more than annoying.
The work-arounds are basic AutoCAD command Insert/Explode and WBLOCK methods which create some maintenance hassles that can be easy to miss.
