AutoCAD Map 3D

[#1]

I found this post which describes exactly what I want to do to get data into Map http://map3d.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/bring-a-csv-file-into-map-3d-with-data/ but I get stuck almost at the first hurdle (see screenshot).

Isn't there any easier way to get this data into Map??

Thanks

search this forum for 64 bit odbc.

Hola creo que este link te puede ayudar http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/ps/dl/item?siteID=123112&id=18307898&linkID=9240697

Neily,

Murph's post was for the 2008 version - more functionality (i.e. the survey tab under mapwspace) has been added, but you can still follow through & use ODBC to connect to Excel.  If using ODBC, you must use a named range in Excel and have the current 64bit excel driver.

If you're really stuck, send me a PM and I'll see what I can do to help walk you through it.

Gracias por esto voy a echarle un vistazo (from Google translate....)

Thanks Todd, I only have 32 bit Office so will need to look at the link in the post from jimyquick....

I also only have 32 bit office.

What I had to do was to uninstall office, install the 64-bit Access driver, reinstall 32-bit office over the 64-bit driver - you can't update the driver with 32-bit office on the machine.

Then use a named range in excel - this is critical.

Worked for me only after upgrading to 2012 - wouldn't work with C3D 2011 for ODBC to excel.

HTH!

Yes with the newer version (2010 and up) Use the Mapimport and select the ASCII format, You may need to edit the CVS file a bit but that's one way with out ODBC.

Thanks for this but when I try the ASCII file, there doesn't seem to be an option to change the input fields....

Neilyj, If you have C3D why not just use the Civil3D opint import tools and create the format you need? Once you import the the cvs as points do a export to Geospatial of that point group to SDF format.

Can you attach a few lines of the CVS file?
