Been working on C3D 2013 for a few weeks - not sure if anyone else is having these problems:
I've lost the ability to display NE coordinate point labels in 2013, it will show the point style but not my text label.
Did it all the time in C3D2012 but its not happening in C3D2013.
It's there in the properties dialog box with all the values but will not display on my screen.
I've check layers on, tried different fonts and sizes, made sure "true was toggle where it needed to be in the label style,
the correct coordinate system was active in drawing properties, UCS world was correct, transparency settings etc..I'm at a lost....
There's also the usual problem... For every bug Autodesk fixes in each release, they seem to introduce at least one more. Very frustrating. Especially considering every release is incompatible, and many people are forced to work in multiple releases, in order to collaborate with other companies. It's very hard to keep track of what bugs are in what releases.
Add to those:
1. tilted Cube with coordinate systems assigned to the drawing. the Cube shows sometimes as bottom even if it is the top.
2. Surface Legend Tables do not update dynamically when the surface data changes.
3. Viewport Type Choice does not work.
4. Civil 3D objects do not use transparency anymore, so no more overlays with imagery for surfaces analysis.
5. Dragged State for arrows thru the xref does not change based on the styles.
There are more, but could not think about them all at this moment of night 🙂

I have also experienced several issue listed so far. Here is another: I edit a DWT (specifically Parts Lists), save, exit. Upon reopen, all the changes have been lost. No errors or warnings were given when I closed the DWT. There seems to be a SAVE bug. Maybe related to this topic: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/AutoCAD-Civil-3D/Data-Shortcut-Error-2011/td-p/2682434
Are you talking about the pipe networks parts list? If so, I believe that is not saved in the template, but in a separate file.
The command AECCSETNETWORKCATALOG will check which file each machine is pointed to.

Parts lists are stored in the drawing. Parts catalogs are not.
I got logitech to send an old copy of the software that includes the 'middle button' option. It works great in 2013 for panning!
I have issues with the layer properties manager. There are issues when creating new layers and renaming them in the properties manager. This worked flawlessly in C3D2010. Note that I experience this issue adding/renaming layers in a group filter view (my default work habit). I have not tried in the All Layers view.

When working with Style based pen settings, feature lines and alignments that are externally referenced take on the xrefs layer plot style instead of the objects plot style. So a design can only have one lineweight once xrefed. So far only a problem with feature lines and alignments, surface styles are fine. Also does not matter if the style properties are set to ByLayer, ByBlock or a named plot style.
This problem persists in c3d 2014 to zoom and scroll with the mouse wheel, this is annoying ... I thought that the 2014 version would fix this problem.
You can use the button behind the wheel as middlebutton. When having no logitech driver installed that button is standard used by windows as middle button.

We're having a problem with a few of our PC's, and I'm not even sure were to begin describing it.
In various files, we seem to have a problem with AutoCAD reading data from either the Alignments for roads, or the Existing surfaces.
In some instances, 1 user can pull up the drawing, and everything shows up fine (see Grid-1 attachment)
They save, exit, and user 2 opens the same drawing. And gets an incomplete profile (see Grid-2)
Typically we're missing either existing or proposed grades, either existing or proposed elevation labels, and User 2 will be missing pipe data for Sanitary and Sewer systems.
We've been kicking this around for a while, and can't find the answer. If anyone else has an idea, please let me know.

My understanding is that the pipe networks and roadway aligments and surfaces are drawn in a masterplan Roads drawing file.
The profiles are drawn in a profiles only drawing, with the pipe networks and surfaces data-referenced into the Profiles drawing.
There is not a command line error message.
There is however a Event list (see attached)
