6/13/2023 0 Comments Softdesk civil survey softwareIf we can establish a single instance of a block Civil 3D will recognize as a Softdesk Point Block, we can then trick Civil 3D into thinking other (standard) AutoCAD Blocks are Softdesk Point Blocks. The secret rests in converting the standard AutoCAD Blocks into a block Civil 3D will recognize as a Softdesk Point Block. Unfortunately, Civil 3D does not provide a direct workflow to convert standard AutoCAD Blocks into Civil 3D COGO Points.Īlthough no direct workflow exists, an indirect one does. While Civil 3D does include a command to convert Softdesk Point Blocks to Civil 3D COGO Points, the command does not work on standard AutoCAD blocks. Third-party civil applications will often place points as standard AutoCAD blocks. In the context of points, it’s not uncommon for this scenario to play out when not everyone on the team is using Civil 3D. Sometimes we get whatever is sent to us, and we’re forced to figure out some way to use it for our own design purposes. While exchange formats like LandXML exist and are certainly the preferred way to transfer points between platforms, getting such a file is not always an option. Do you have a drawing full of standard AutoCAD Blocks you need to convert to Civil 3D COGO points?
