Etransmit and Survey Point Symbols

[dbill2508]

Converting files from Civil 3D 2013 to AutoCAD 2007. We are currently trying to utilize ETRANSMIT to share drawing files with our clients. When going through the command we choose "AutoCAD 2007 Drawing Format w/ Exploded AEC Objects"

This seems to work for everything except for the survey symbols. All of the linework, xrefs, labels and drefs come in fine when opening in LDD 2009. However upon closer inspection, we have no symbols: tress, power poles, gas meters, etc.

Sharing our files with a utility company becomes impossible without these symbols. Is there anything we can try?

Thanks.

Try exporting the survey file using Application Menu>Export>AutoCad Dwg>AutCad 2007

The file can then be added to the etransmit file manually if it's only one or a couple files not exporting properly in Etransmit.

One thing to watch for when using the "File/Export/export to autocad" Method, is if the block fefinitions being used in the point styles are annotative, they will come in wrong.
