![]() ![]() Some of this can be corrected by using commands such as AECIMPORTSTYLES and AECCIMPORTSTYLESANDSETTINGS as posted by Scott McEachron of the I.II.I consortium. One of the frustrating things about working with old drawings is that everything gets placed on Layer 0. ![]() I found this totally by accident and though I lost a couple of minutes worth of changes to a template, I know that this find will save me a lot of time in the future, especially when a drawing is started from the wrong template. I found a nice "undocumented feature" in Civil 3D 2011 today. This command sequence works in Civil 3D 2011 too, but there are new enhancements with polylines in AutoCAD 2011 that you might prefer. In fact, you can even insert PI's at a specific distance or at a specific increment along the polyline. The Insert PI command works on polylines too. The selected PI will immediately be removed from the polyline. ![]() Move your cursor inside the red circle and left click to select the PI you want removed. As you move your mouse near a PI, the gray triangle nearest to the mouse cursor turns green to indicate which PI will be selected. The command line now prompts you to "Specify point:". The polyline you select will now have triangles at each PI. The command line prompts you to "Select object:", so left click on the polyline to select it. We will now remove the PI inside the red circle. We'll start by drawing a polyline roughly in the shape of a W. For those of you that haven't made the jump to Civil 3D 2011 yet, here's a tip for you.
