AutoCAD Civil 3D - Stormwater

[#1]

I am working with 2 hydraflow files done for separate portions of one project. I'm trying to clearly report the results, so a few questions...

Is there a way to change the hydrograph numbers, or at least the starting hydrogrpah number?
Is there a way to merge 2 files?
Any tips for working with multiple files in general?

Thanks

If one file has 10 hydrographs, let the 1st hydrograph in the 2nd file be
number 11.

I would try opening 2 sessions & try to copy/paste the data into one file.

I didn't think merging was possible. Is this something new in 2010? Please let me know if it works.
I also was not aware of any renumbering capabilities.

I don't know how to renumber nodes. But I did figure out that you can go to the hydrograph list and insert rows at the top, which will result in all your node numbers increasing 1 for every row you insert.

Yes that will give you up to 98 blank rows that will print out as 98 blank rows.

Merging is a bit of a misnomer.

You can open two models in two different instances of the program and use Copy to copy a line and Paste into another. It is one line at a time.

Renumbering Hydrographs can be done with the same methods - cut and pasting hydrograph rows.

On the Hydrographs tab, you can move rows down by selecting a row and inserting. This shifts the hydrographs down a position.
Delete will remove the line. I think it only works with Runoff across files, but within a file, you can copy and paste to your hearts content.

You guys need to be careful with that method as well. I have an existing
hydraflow model that I needed a couple of hydrographs inserted from another
file. I did the copy/paste thing, and now, two of the hydrographs print as
one. Sometimes you double click the hydrograph and get what it really is,
and other times you click the hydrograph and it is a duplicate of the
hydrograph before it.
THEN, when you print the whole thing, two of the hydrographs are identical.

I am losing a lot of confidence in this program. It worked SO good, for SO
long before 2010. Now we are stuck with having to eat a Civil3D license to
use it, AND, I am getting nightmarish bugs.

Another lesson to learn; when you do your check of the work, don't check
only inside the program. Or at least do a full review of the final output
from the PRINTED copy. You will see a difference in what gets printed as to
what gets entered into the program. See my post from yesterday.

Matt you have been EXTREMELY helpful thus far. Keep up the good work!
