Point group query invalid with 2012

[gelinase]

Hola!

I'm using civil 3D 2012 for 2 weeks now. When I create a query to include or exclude points in a specific point group I get an error. It doesn't allow me to build a query with decimal number but only with natural number. 

Everything was fine with my old civil 3D 2011.

The problem is with civil 3D 2012? or maybe their is a magic switch somewhere to allow me to use decimal number?

Thanks for suggestion to resolve my problem.

You're using decimals in your point numbers?

[gelinase]

My elevations have decimal.

like this query:

with elevations matching :  < 0.05

Works for me.

I don't know if this will fix the issue you are seeing, or not. But have you applied Update 1 for C3D2012? LINK

My propduct is up to date.

I get the same error with every drawing in 2012.

When I try to enter something invalid in the point group properties like this:

with elevations matching : <0.5

a message in the command bar appear "Le type ne correspond pas.  (point elevation <0.5)"

or

with elevations matching : <blablabla

a message in the command bar appear "Le type ne correspond pas. (point elevation <blablabla)"

It's weird to have a French sentence in an English version of Autocad. Never saw that before. Maybe because I have a French version of Windows xp 32. Maybe I should update something special in my Windows OS?

Why would you have elevations less than 0.5'?  Is this subsea?

[gelinase]

Yes, I'm working with bathymetric surface.

I use "point groups" to divide points in different categories with different Point Label Style:

-above zero : with elevation >0.05

-near zero : with elevation between -0.05 and 0.05

-below zero: with elevation <-0.05

My temporary solution is to use the Qselect tool and assign Point label style manually.

Decimal number .05 is working with Qselect tool!!
