    Moving profile or alignment,

     

    I’m not sure why moving profile introduces a problem! Some data is missed!

     

    What might be the reason?

     

    Thank you

     

    Best

    Using the Move command isn't our preferred method of editing an alignment and/or profile. We use the grip edit tools of both those objects.  Perhaps going through the tutorials on editing alignments and editing profiles would help you.  There's also some good reference material out there, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Essentials and Mastering AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 are two that we use.

    I just moved a couple of profile views in 2012. I didn't have any problem. Does the design profile still exist in the Prospector?

    Are you selecting the Design Profile or the Profile View when you do the Move?

    I didn't realize it was the profile view he was moving, I thought it was the alignment or profile. I agree, moving the profile view shouldn't have any effect at all.

    Don't do a move with a window or window crossing on objects.

    Move the "base" object by picking it, then everything attached to it will follow.

    Therfore, in your situation, move the "Profile" by moving the Profile View.

    While I agree moving profile views with the grips instead of the move command is probably the better method should you need to adjust the profile view, have you regened after moving it? I have had this issue happen to me after moving a profile or section view. Some of the data appears to either get "lost in translation" or remains in the original location until I regen or regenall.

    That sound like it might be a video card or version issue. I don't see that in 2012. I move a profile view and everything shows in the new location immediately.

    Come to think of it, that hasn't happened since we switched over to 2012 a few months ago. It was more common when we were in 2011.
