AutoCAD Map 3D

[#1]

I am using AutoCAD Civil 3D with Map 3D. I guess the Map 3D was something we paid for additionally. I'm not exactly sure how that works, but I know that's what we have.

I tend to ask questions within posts on the same topic started by someone else. In May of 2008, I was not using 2008 software, that's just the forum where I found related info.

Thanks for your time, Murph. Does my response ring any bells?!

The Civil3D is built on top of Map3D therefore you have all of Map3D when you have Civil3D. t's best if you post in the forum for the software and version that you are using, alot of the helpers in here may not look or follow the older forums and the issues may have different fixes.

Now to your issue, if you are using 2010 version do you have all of the service pack/updates installed?

Murph,

We check for updates at least once a month it seems, so I expect it's currently up-to-date.

Would you recommend I start my own post on this topic in the Civil 3D forum?

I am using autocad map 2012 as of now but seem to recall an issue with the external files being moved during upgrades. I would also look into the issue of shp field headings.  Map 2012 automatically truncates to ten but in the past having illegal field headings  was a problem during export. There are many variables to what could be causig the problem but it seems to be centered around the upgrade.

Could it be this?

If that section of the interface is missing, nothing will be exported (though the .shp file will be created).

WOW....It worked!

I'm blown away.

Now I understand why Murph wanted me to post in the forum for the software version I'm using. 

Thanks everyone!

The version and vertical you use does help finding fixes along with your system spec.
