Bartels, I'm just waiting for your master class in tables. I cannot imagine how much we're going to learn from that video. Thank for this video. Excellent!
For those of you who who are like me that are used to setting our paperspace scale by typing into the command line (ex: "1/200xp"), be sure to unlock your viewport and select a different scale, then reselect your desired scale to "refresh" the text, or the annotations will continue to use the model space scale. I've been struggling with this for years and even though this video didn't cover this issue, there was enough information here to confirm I've been doing everything correctly, and I was able to finally troubleshoot why my text wasn't showing in the desired scale.
Hi Chris, we do have virtual session called "Civil 3D Tips, Tricks and Unnatural Acts" scheduled for this year. Hopefully we'll be back to doing "in-person" AU's next year.
The down side of fields for drawing stamp info is that they don't work through xrefs... Rtext is the better option in most cases. You sir are the Peter Funk of today's generation. Keep it up. 👍
Jeff, love your channel and have been watching it for awhile. Watching this episodes reminds me of a question: Is there any way to rotate a "structure-label" in its "dragged-state" like you actually can in a regular AutoCAD Multi-leader? I wish that AutoCAD would make the functionality of the Dragged-State Structure-Label similar as the regular AutoCAD Multi-leader and vis-versa. There are times that I want that "Dragged-State" Structure-Label to follow the rotation of buildings that offer area to occupy instead of the default paper-space view. Thanks and keep those episodes coming....
As usual another informative and detailed video, thank you! I am fairly new to Civil 3d and still learning. Quick question, how would you go about changing the layer on some of the pipes and structures on a storm pipe network? I want to turn off some of the pipes and structures in the drawing. Is it the same procedure as you would in Autocad, ie, creating a new layer and changing the pipes and structures to that new layer? Thank you in advance!
Is there a way to have a field attach to a point number? Specifically, I would like to have a bit of text that says "The coordinate for Point 1 is X= Y= " that way whenever I import data, in my notes it will always display the imported point 1's X and Y?
Hello Jeff, your classes are superb, I would like to work on Dry utility services in Civil 3D,like Electrical cable, telecom ducts etc. what is the best method to show that, please make a tutorial if possible which will be very helpful for guys planning to do dry utilities in civil 3D
I can extract table cell number values into a field, but text values do not display properly. Is there a way to get text values extracted from tables and put into a field?
please Jeff can you post a clear and detailled video on using survey data link collector, we wanna learn on how convert gsi file to fbk. i'd be a grace if you can help Thanks for the hard work
Hi Jeff, big fan! Is it possible somehow to incorporate subassembly naming field into C3D template, so when i create subassembly, civil names it automatically position based? Currently using c3d 2022. Thx in advance!
Jeff, within your presentation you shaw how to extract values from a cell of a table in order to use to compute another calue within an Mtext. Is there a way to do this the other way? I am thinking of tallying all my hatched impervious areas into leaders with the area of the hatch for each item, i.e driveway, house, walk, patio, pool etc. and the show them as a total on a table. I do not want to add each hatch, but add each field within thr leader.
I may have figured it out in my head; maybe i could add all areas from the fields shown on each leader bu adding and extracting thr "value" from each leader, that is if they have a field valie similar to the measured value that you can extract from dimensions. I will have to try that....
Thank you Jeff, as always, your stuff is very informative. Is there a way to create a field that references a cogo point or a cogo point group's style? I'm a landscape architect amongst a bunch of civils. I have a template that has various landscape objects as different styles. To create a proposed design, I create a field of points and then assign different styles to make them different plants materials. It's a lot easier than toggling through blocks and I was hoping it would also make them dynamically quantifiable. I'd love to create a "Landscape Table" that tabulates the number of points in the file that are of a certain style.
I dont mean to be off topic but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot the login password. I love any tricks you can give me
@Easton Tyson thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
HI Jeff Bartels, CAN I ASK ABOUT HOW TO EXTRACT THE GEOMETRIC CENTER OF AN IRREGULAR PARCELS' GROUPE IN C3D ASSOCIATED WITH EACH LABEL INTO AN EXCEL FILE, PLZ
Darn. I thought I had the last piece of the solution to my problem... I have a floor plan of my office. At each desk I want to add labels with desk number (number), user name (string) and computer model (string). I have that information in an Excel worksheet to which I linked and with which I created a table. Then I created a multiline text, pressed Ctrl-F, selected Objects, Formula, Cell, picked the desk number cell, OK, et voilà! The desk number appeared next to the desk drawing. Awesome. So I did the same with the next datum, user name... and egad, I failed misserably. I get only "####". Of course, "Formula" requires numeric values. There has to be an easy way and I'm just missing it. Drat.
Bartels, I'm just waiting for your master class in tables. I cannot imagine how much we're going to learn from that video. Thank for this video. Excellent!
I can't thank you guys enough for these amazing tutorials. So clear and excellently presented, just shows how much you know your stuff
You're welcome David! Thank you for your support!
Excellent video. Well done. Just scratched the surface.
Thanks Edward!
This is very helpful for me sir jeff. Thank you. Best teacher.
Simply AWESOME as usual
Thank you Jeff, I've been searching for a detailed explanation like this since a while. Thank you again
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks for all your instructional and informative videos Jeff. They are a HUGE help. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Jeff!!!

Thank you for the kind words!
Great job once again Jeff. Keep doing these great learning vids. To bad I will not get to see you again this year in Las Vegas for AU.

Rtext?
Thanks jaff , I used the field in the template iso bords , Thank you for defining fully
Happy to help!
Thanks Mr.Jeff...i am a big fan yours
Thanks Fahd! I appreciate it!
Awesome Jeff!
Thank you!
Thank you
thanks Jeff
Always inspired by your videos
So glad to hear they are helpful for you!

You are very welcome!
Do you have any advice on a field to link the Matchline Stationing from my viewframes to auto fill in my title block?
I can extract table cell number values into a field, but text values do not display properly. Is there a way to get text values extracted from tables and put into a field?
Hi Sir, 15:33 Object Type "Name" is no longer available in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2022, is there a work around on this?
شكرا جزيل 🌹🌹🌹

Can you add a field in a pipe labe in civil 3d

Hello sir, u can share this dwg for help me please?
This is all well and good, but none of this was specific to Civil 3D, or in other words you can do all this in basic AutoCAD.
