Figure Prefix Database and breaklines

[darrell.wilmore]

I am running Autocad Civil 3D 2012. I created a figure prefix database that our surveyors were familiar when coding in the field. It is a numeric code list. I recieved a survey last week that had 6 breaklines coded in the point file. Only one of the 6 acts as a breakline. All breaklines start and stop with the right linework commands but they fail to break crossing triangle legs. I've checked everything I can think of and the setup looks correct . The only difference between the one breakline that works and the others is that breakline has sequential point numbers while the other breakline codes are scattered throughout the point file.

Any suggestions?

Did you apply them as breaklines? Even if you tell it to be a breakline in the prefix database you still have to apply them. This can be done for individual imports, or the survey database as a whole.

O.K>, that worked.

I was thinking if the code was toggled on in the FPD as a breakline it would naturally create one.

Thanks

Glad it worked for you! This area of civil 3d continues to give me pitfalls.
