Hi All,
I've tried to use radial stakeout on several computer using C3D 2014 and I select my occupied point, backsite point and a range of stakeout points, when I click any of the buttons, i.e. Append to report, nothing happens. Tried it with several drawing. Anyone have the same problem or a resolution.
Thanks,
Walter

There was a problem at one time that only Internet Explorer would work with these reports. What is your default browser? It is not too difficult to change default browsers and give them a chance.

Yes, I tried Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome, no luck with any of them. I think its a bug in 2014.
Walter,
I think Bill has his finger on the problem. Dig in and find where your reports are stored. On my C3D 2010 machine, it's:
file:///C:/Users/Admin/AppData/Local/Temp/CivilReport.html
I had to make a shortcut to see my reports in 2010. I haven't used reports yet in 2014, so I don't know if things are changed.

I took a look in that folder, but it only has the title block, it's not appending the stakeout info.
Thanks
I'm thinking it may not work with the latest browser versions. They should have written it to dump to Notepad, that never changes.
Walter,
I agree. I don't know why someone decided to make the report in HTML format.

Walter, I had some time this afternoon, so I tried to make a Stakeout Report. This is as close as I got, and I could go no further. Nothing I clicked on had any effect.

I've seen a few reports that won't work in IE10. Uninstall it and IE 9 will be reinstalled (might need to reboot). Another example of a report that doesn't work in IE 10 is the General Legal Description.
Instructions to uninstall IE 10 are HERE.
Thanks, Brian, for the info and the link. I'll try that out.

Thanks everyone,
I was up to IE 11, uninstalled the update, rebooted and it is now IE 8.
Radial Stakeout works fine now!
I am in Civil 3D 2013. Uninstalled IE10, still can't get radial stakeout report to work in IE9. Do I need to go all the way back to IE8? If so, how?
Everyone, I have a client who is having the same issue with IE 11 installed. It wasn't until he downgraded to IE 8 that it worked (just like explained in the string here). This cannot be acceptable though. Are we all expected to run IE 8 just to get this function to work?
PS - I've got Chrome set up as my default and it doesn't work there either.
Hoping Autodesk is reading this,
Hello everyone,
This is an issue that we are aware of and investigating further. We do know that going all the way back to IE 8 is not ideal, and we do apologize for any inconvience this issue may have caused.
I have just updated this known issue with my own feedback regarind this issue. If anyone here has any feedback they would like to submit regarding this, please navigate to the link below and submit this to the project manager of that product (specified in link).

What is the status of this known issue? This is a serious issue for surveyors, as it can be very time consuming to manually check construction stake out.
As far as I know it's not been resolved. Praying, lighting candles, and sacrificing my best calf in hopes of a resolutions soon. I have a client (20+ surveyors) who is almost to the point of jumping ship for another software altogether.
No browser needed:
I recently became aware of a compatibility mode option when using IE10 that allows some of the reports that have issues in IE10 to work. To get to this compatibly mode, you can hit the F12 button it will open a developer dialog panel. Once open there is a “Browser Mode IE10 tab, that once click you can select different compatibly modes, IE8 being one of them. I hope this workaround proves to resolve some of these issues.
I looked to see if this option was still available in IE11 and once I upgraded I was not able to find it. Upon further digging I found this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn321449.aspx
It states that in support of some changes to IE 11, the compatibility view button has been completely removed from IE11. The workaround in that link does not seem to work due to the Civil report address not being an actual site and it does not let you add it.
Jason.Ferreli,
Your work around if a viable one for now. I've passed this onto some of our clients and they appear to be okay with it for now. However, as more and more people move forward with operating systems and upgrades it will become almost inevitable that they will make the move to IE 11 (or higher when the upgrades allow). We can't possibly be expected to contunue to run IE 10 just to keep this functionality.
I do realize you are on the support side and not the person who writes the software, but this should be something that is brought to the table when newer versions are in developement. It's quite possible that Autodesk might be missing an entire market (surveyors) due to some minor issues that could probably be easily fixed.
