Properties Tabs

RalphBrown99 — Tue, 21 Feb 2023 23:21:34 GMT

Hi,

I have a CAD drawing sent from a municipality and it has the Elevations values in an special category within the properties window called OD. My AutoCAD is not displaying these properties and not even the tabs on the side (Design, Display, Extended Data etc.) How is possible to see the tabs and the OD: Properties? The Files was sent on Civil 3D. Is not possible to fix the problem?

For better understanding I am sending the PDF with the data that I cannot see

Ralph

Install and use the right program

Install Autodesks Civil3D Object Enabler, that's all you can do (I don't know if that is enought for your needs - test it)

But using Civil3D, if you like to have the same ability as sender, is the only solution.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick replay. I am not using Civil 3D. Is not possible to activate the object enabler?

Regards

Ralph

This is now, how is it tommorrow? It's your choice (no, I am also not using C3D)

>>Is not possible to activate the object enabler?"

Why not, sure it is (AutoCAD/Windows= it is possible) -

Install C3D object enabler and open your file again, and check if you can find what you need in the properties (but you won't see the tabs in any case)
Just try

Ask them to dumb the file down for your use,

grab a free trial version of C3D nd at leas for the next 30-days you can dumb down the files yourself instead,
