I'm pretty sure that the Publish command has been around for at least a dozen years. I've been using Sheet Set Manager to publish sets of drawings for...

I knew this would be the eventual outcome.?ÿ That's why I didn't respond originally.?ÿ Here's how the rest of this will play out: The person you commu...

Interesting. First, let me clarify that CTB files are not specifically for plotter information. That is handled in PC3 files. CTB files were the origi...

I would try using the Dataextraction command.?ÿ This doesn't provide the information you desire for polylines, but it does work for line and arc segme...

Without knowing exactly how you set up point styles and what it is the tech doesn't like about them, it's hard to make suggestions, but in the end, Ci...

Sorry, one last post. I have to say that I completely agree with the assessments given by Cameron Watson and Jim Frame. Spot on for both of you! I eve...

It's not the order that is a problem. I don't think I've ever seen a file that wasn't PNEZD comma delimited. C3D has default formats for the order of ...

I take the topo drawing, create a data shortcut for the surface, xref the topo in to my design files, and create a data reference to the surface short...

Wouldn't an ASCII points file have solved all of the points-related problems noted above? No, not all the problems. The points would still not be sort...

Trying to be fair here. The Carlson project is a finished project that I haven't pulled up in a year. Those points are not actually topo points. I'm n...

Okay, today is your lucky day. Fortunately I am a little slow at work today, so I have some time on my hands.?ÿ I'm even including visuals for you. Th...

I guess you can't define a typical engineering tech either. I am only including this quote, but the OP and others have also described the engineering ...

I'm a Civil 3D user.?ÿ If you were asking me for a file, I would either do an Export of the drawing (not a Save As) to an earlier version or I would d...

Yeah, that's my point. A drawing is either a Civil 3D drawing or it's not.

WA-ID Surveyor and Cameron Watson both summed up most of my thoughts on this topic (you guys rock!), but I do have one question after the last few pos...

One of the great things about this site is that you learn so much about how people around the country and even the world might have different viewpoin...

For #1 above, it's actually the Shade plot setting within the properties palette that I would check.

I know next to nothing about Intellicad, but I will offer a few suggestions as to what I would try if I encountered something like this in Autocad.?ÿ ...
