Can't add new survey network

[lwkelly]

I was following Civil 3D 2008 Education Curriculum Module 04-Survey on how to import field books, create points and figures, insert them into the drawing, and then (per page 04-35), remove the network from the drawing.

Now I have a serious problem, and cannot add any new Networks. The "Name" and "Description" appears, but there is no place for a cursor entry.

Do I have to re-install the program???

Typically, this is caused by a resizing of the data entry fields. If you can
go to the edge and hover there, your cursor should change - once it does,
click and drag to make the field wider and you should then be able to enter
data into the field.

I received an e-mail reply that said it's due to the size of the data-entry field. As suggested, I used my curser to hover over the area and was able to pick and drag the data field so I could see where to enter the data again. Thanks for the suggestion/help.

Thanks. It worked.

Thanks!  Experiencing the same problem. I could go to other computers and create new networks, but couldn't on mine.  Did a repair; and of course, reset all my settings ... how maddening!

You can also right click near "Property" and "reset columns" if you are not able to hover and grab.
