I am working on a survey/design for one of our storm water projects. I had just finished another project and now this new drawing is causing me grief. Here's a background of what has happened. Since I worked on the last project the Surveyor/Draftsmen updated all of our templates so now it is running under a new template.. could that be the issue maybe I don't know.. I've recreated this job so many times and get the same results..
Below are two snips of what I am wondering about. The first is the Profile/Alignment with the pipe networks attached. Everything come's in fine. The second snip is after I create my view frames and create my sheets. There are lines outside of the views which I circled in red.
Any input would be great and here are the snips. Thanks in advance!
Yikes.
I'd need to get my hands on that drawing. How many sheets is it creating? Are you also using sheet set manager? Are these being sent to individual drawings, or are they all in the same dwg?
Obviously it's not supposed to do that, unless you are giving some manual overrides in the profile view properties. Chances are the template being messed with isn't the cause of this, certainly since a drawing that existed before the template was redone won't be affected by future template changes. Unless you use the style manager.
My gut is telling me to spend some time in the profile view properties, and it will be found in there.
Or, send me a Dropbox link and I'll give it a five minute pass.
I woke up early this morning thinking of what I could have done different. So, here's how I think I fixed the problem. When I did my pipe networks everything was included into one. From storm manholes to inlets to junction boxes. There was a pipe that connected without having a junction box involved and it created a null structure. So, my thought was to create each pipe run on a different network and then draw them into the profile.. Well, wouldn't ya know, it worked. I don't know if this is the best fix but it works for what I need.
I appreciate your response and your offer to help though! I'm sure in the future I will need a lot more help as I'm not going to lie I probably only know about 5% of what AutoCAD can offer me haha
Yup. get the job done first, then figure out how to do it more "elegantly" later.
In my experience a single pipe network can and should have everything in it, if they are connected.
when you say you put "each pipe run" into their own network... are we talking multiple roads and corridors? If you have two roads, then... ya - I'd do network "A" and Network "B" too.
One road but pipes coming in at an intersection and an alley. The previous project I worked on had multiple intersections and pipes coming into them and everything fit well. But, there were no oddball connections that had a "null structure" so I'm thinking this is the main culprit as when I selected the lines that were displaced they were the pipes connecting to the main pipe.
Appreciate everything again.

That could qualify you as an expert.:-O

Then I should have said I only know about 0.0005% then.. ha
