Recently discovered polyline files as another option to include 3D lines in XML files. Created xml file with *.pln and *.crd files.
However when import xml into a blank dwg (as a test before I send to client) lines or points do not show up. Tried a couple different formats.
Polyline file format [<Carlson>/DTM/Idan/Kof/microStation/MOSS/Peabody/Topcon]?
Ideas?
We use XML files to transfer up and down to ranger DC's every day. Not new to that.
You need to export a polyline file (PLN) of your breaklines and inclue that in your xml export
Yes, that is what we do. Import *.pln and *.crd files into *.xml
Here is a snip of the XML.
xml codes indicate a points list and lines list
IMport to blank dwg and lines do not get drawn. Points drawn. All layers on/thawed
Are you checking both options when importing the xml? It will write out a PLN file when checked, not just the surface file. The linework will not import as part of the surface tin.
