We just upgraded from Civil 3D 2015 to 2017, and discovered some bugs/issues:
1. Data Shortcut Editor doesn't work properly, all data shortcuts created by C3D 2017 won't show up on the editor window. I have googled this issue, some other post has discussed about this (see https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/data-shortcut-editor-is-blank/m-p/6733115/highlight/tr...), but have not found anything officially from Autodesk.
2. when we publish the drawings from the sheetset (we are not using background publish), pipe crossings on the profile view are not plotted. when I watch the process, i can see the plotting process starts before the pipe crossing show up on the screen (the pipe profile view is fine, just the crossing view not fully loaded). please the images attached below.
above is the screenshot of the CAD paper space
above is the screenshot of the pdf plotted manually by using plot command and dwg to pdf.pc3 driver
above is the screenshot of the pdf published from the sheet set, as shown on the image, the pipe crossing on detail A is gone.
3. the pdf file doesn't automatically open in the viewer after the sheetset publish, but it does open automatically when plot manually (using dwg to pdf.pc3). we have "Show results in viewer" and "open in viewer when done" both selected.
Thanks in advance for any sugguestions/ solutions.
