AutoCAD Civil 3D

[#1]

I am using  Civil3D 2012 and I am trying to create a 50'x50' grid in model space that automatically populates the N & E. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[#2]

Cogo points can be populated based on a 50 x 50 grid and have a label style that just shows northing and easting.

[#3]

I'm not wanting to create points though. I just need the lat long lines and an annotation. Carlson has the command dgrid, but I'm not sure how to do it in Civil3D.

[#4 · Accepted solution]

Use the MAPLAYOUTREFERENCESYSTEM to create the grid in a layout. Then use CHSPACE to move it to Modelspace.

[#5 · Accepted solution]

You can set up a Note label style to display two lines and a coordinate at the intersection.  You can also create a dynamic block to do the same thing.

I get this error

c:\program files\autodesk\autocad civil 3d 2012\acmapgridsystem.arx cannot find
a procedure that it needs.
Unknown command "MAPLAYOUTREFERENCESYSTEM"

Steve,

I figured out the note, but I can't seem to make it offset a specified distance. I tried to use the array, but I can't figure out how to make the thing work.

Have you installed SP1?

[#9]

The only sp update I get is for SP 2.1

[#10]

After updating to SP 2.1 the mapreference works great!

Thanks guys now I have 2 options on performing the same task. If I could just get the note to offset at a specified distance that would speed up that option.
