ely Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 I am looking for a way to import my regular p,n,e,z,d text files with a custom tag for the point number. For example when I collect OG shots I like to number them OG##( Quote
CyberAngel Posted January 24, 2011 Posted January 24, 2011 Sorry, point numbers are just that, numbers. However, you can renumber them once you've imported them. I suppose you could use the full description field (if it's not occupied or not important) for the tag you want. You might have to do a little coding to append the number to the raw description and assign it to the full description. There might even be a way to get C3D to do it, I haven't tried anything like that. Quote
BIGAL Posted January 25, 2011 Posted January 25, 2011 If your already using the d description couldn,t you add it there ? Try Word replace ^p with freds^p have a look adds fred to your description. I think Civ3d supports aplahnumeric numbering but your instrument probably does not, for each code you could write a program to change the point number to have the OG in front based on description for OG. try say 10 points to see what happens. maybe post your wanted data file (10 pts) Quote
ely Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 Thanks for you input. @Bogal: My data collector/instrument does support alphanumeric(if C3D supports this that is what I'm looking for). Looking for a way to import into C3D vs out of C3D. Quote
BIGAL Posted February 2, 2011 Posted February 2, 2011 Please post an example or did you get it to work ? Quote
ely Posted February 2, 2011 Author Posted February 2, 2011 This is how I have it exporting out of my data collector: OG1,485565.9062,451285.6486,57.5152,GS OG2,485588.3760,451263.6842,58.0347,GS OG3,485595.4283,451255.8119,57.3297,GS OG4,485600.3199,451250.1959,55.0629,GS OG5,485608.4858,451242.9794,55.4044,GS OG6,485612.5002,451238.7528,56.9893,GS OG7,485623.6686,451233.9017,56.8880,GS OG8,485633.5746,451225.4557,52.0853,GS OG9,485635.7841,451223.8324,52.0755,GS OG10,485643.9429,451216.8632,54.7432,GS Quote
sinc Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 You can create a Point File Format to import your data. Just copy the existing "PNEZD (comma delimited)" Point File Format, then modify it so that the first field is Point Name instead of Point Number. The following image is an example. I also loaded your sample data into the dialog, so you can see how it gets parsed. Just keep in mind that every Cogo Point in Civil 3D must also have a Point Number, so C3D will also automatically assign Point Numbers to these points as they are imported. So you may want to adjust your "next point number" prior to importing your data. Quote
ely Posted February 23, 2011 Author Posted February 23, 2011 Awesome SINC. Just what I was looking for. Thanks For the help! Quote
civileng Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 Hello, I am a student interested in experimenting with civil 3d 2014, I am looking for somewhere to get points with elevation. I tried to use google maps and google earth but not sure im doing it right.. please help me find a source for any points so I can practice!!! THANKS!! Quote
Murph_map Posted December 21, 2013 Posted December 21, 2013 There's a few files in the tutorial folder for civil3D, then there's always the USGS site and the National Map page. Quote
