I have a grading plan with the existing and finish grade surfaces data shortcutted. For my spot elevations I am using civil 3D spot elevations. When submitting to our client, they request cad files in autocad format. I have been trying to export my grading plan to autocad and haven't had any luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I've run an audit and purge my drawing to see if this would help, but no luck.
Thanks,
Oscar..

By not having any luck - do you mean that no file is created of that the file doesn't contain what it should?

Allen,
A file is never created, it seems to start the process but shortly thereafter it will stop as if it has finished. I open the text window and it shows that duplicate blocks are being ignored.
Attached is an illustration.

That's unfortunate. I have similar results with 2014 and had hoped that 2015 would be a fix.
As a workaround. Do a SaveAs, open the newly created drawing and explode everything a couple of times then Wblock out to whatever version you need to send.

Allen,
I tried that, since the labels are dynamic and tied to the surface as soon as I explode it, the labels go away.
I've also tried promoting the surface and then exporting just incase the hangup is because of the data shortcut but that didn't work either.
I noticed a few glitches in 2015 since I've worked with it so there is always a chance that it may have corrupted my drawing.
Thanks for the advice though.
Oscar..
That's strange. If I explode a Surface Elevation Label once I get a block a second explode give me entities for the marker and MText for the Label. If the label disappears when you explode. Try turning on the layer or layers it might land on.

Allen,
You are correct, I hadn't look around carefully enough, thanks,
