Civil 3D Description Keys and Figure Basics

3/30/2020

 

Kyle Groves, a Technical Specialist at ATG, explains how Description Keys and Figures work in Civil 3D.
From the ATG YouTube Channel.

Comments

This is a decent walk through of Description Key Set, Figure Prefix Db, and Linework Code Set mechanics in Civil 3D.
You got to love the CTC Survey Sweeper, but Kyle - Where you run the Process Linework command from in the Civil 3D Survey interface matters.

A better Civil 3D Survey requires that you externalize the creation, upkeep, and maintenance of the resources. Excel works great for some things.
One Description Key Set and one Figure Prefix Db makes about as much sense as one Civil 3D Template that does everything.
The Framework for Civil 3D provides all these Civil 3D Survey Adaptive Resource details in considerable depth.
The Frameworks's many Spreadsheet Tools, wonder of wonders, also work well with the CTC Software Tools.

Create a Data Link Table to Excel

Bruce Harris, AEC Technical Specialist at TPM Solutions shows how to create a Data Link Table from an Excel Sheet.
From the TPM Solutions YouTube Channel.

Comments

Data link table interop is very useful. Bruce's walkthrough dodges some of the sometimes problematic issues of formatting than can happen to you.>br /> Left unsaid is that the formatting here comes from the Excel Sheet and not the Table Style definition.

Our Legends and Lists video page includes videos with both Data Link and Data Extracted (DXE) links.
