Civil Site Design V26 introduces the new command Import Cogo Point File (by Alignment). This tool allows you to import a file that specifies chainage and offset along an alignment for points to be created. The command is available for Civil Site Design and Stringer across all base platforms.
The command can be found at the bottom of the toolspace under the Cogo Points icon.
The Cogo Points by Alignment command allows you to import coordinated point files containing, at minimum, a chainage and offset input for each point you wish to create. If you are importing data using chainage and offset instead of x,y coordinates, ensure that you have applied (or created) a Point File Format to match the format of the file you are importing.
After selecting a file to import and assigning a matching file format are selected, choose the alignment in the drawing that you wish to create the points along, as well as the start and end chainage.
Next, you set properties from the file to match Chainage, Offset and (optionally) Side, so that the software knows which information in the file to apply to create the Points. If you are using positive and negative numbers to differentiate between side for offset, you can leave the Side Property box empty; however, you may have a separate entry in your file to denote ‘side’, which would need to be set as the Side Property.
Lastly, you can set the Default Point Style and Code Set Table to manage the assigned Point Style and layer for each point you will create.
Clicking Import Points will create the points as COGOPoints.
You spoke, we listened! Our streamlined design process shaves hours and days off your Civil 3D projects, including the creation of a Civil 3D Corridor complete with multiple regions, target mapping, and assemblies, at the click of a button. We always aimed to make the corridor like you would, reusing and consolidating similar assemblies wherever […]
Field attributes provide Surveyors with the ability to include additional data in their Survey pickup of points. With Stringer Topo V26 users can now include additional data (attribute data) with their COGO points and survey strings for review, editing and output from their drawing. There are a number of ways to add attributes to your […]
Home Use Licensing was provided to customers to support access to a single license from two computers, to support non-concurrent office and home use of the software. Prior to the release of our V26 licensing models, Home Use License access was provided via the issuing of two license keys: one for office use and one […]
