AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

Hello Gents

The issue here is that I can not save the CAD file with the shapes I need to provide to the client.

I use the Civil Infrastructure Suite 2013.

The program makes it possiible to create the Lofting Surface between sections/profiles (from two to eight), but when saving the file, after creating the surfaces, Autocad is forced to close the program suddenly, therefore, no joy on saving the shape  acheived by the program, again and again.

I hope you can help, it used to work in 2012R.

Thanks and Kind Regards.

Santi.

I'm not on 2013 so don't know anything about this problem. But, as a workaround, could you wblock the lofted surface to preserve it. It's possible that it could then be inserted after the drawing is closed and reopened.

As I said. I'm not familiar with the problem and have never tried this. I'm just extrapolating from what I know of the program.

BTW. That sound serious enough to open a Service Request with Autodesk, if your on Subscription.

Hello Allen

Thanks for the comment, but the last thing I would like, is a "workaround".

I am afraid I can not admit this kind of behaviour by the software, that we all like, and keep in our businnes, in order to produce the best for our clients.

We need to keep improving this... "thing".

Thanks again, let me try other routes and I will keep you informed.

Hi Santi,

I certainly wasn't suggesting it as a final solution. But sometimes you have to take the quick choice when a deadline looms. Let us know what Autodesk says.

I know, I know

Please do not get me wrong.

Autodesk is in the know right know, therefore, as soon as I am in the know of the "Doctors Recipe", I will let you know, and may be... they will let you know.

Again... we need to keep improving, and very fast.

Thanks a lot for the reply.
