Civil 3D Profiles are not dynamically updating

[ggrembowiec]

Why is Civil 3D not dynamically updating a profile of a surface profile that I know I have modified to look a specific way based on a created surface...the alignment is a data shortcut into the drawing along with the surface cut is a data short cut... the surface profile is made in this drawing and I am not getting the updated when the surface cut is changed in the source file and of course validated in the current drawing... the only bootleg way I have gotten this surface profile to update is by going to the profile properties switch it from dynamic to static, then back to dynamic... then all of a sudden it will update to the correct surface look. This is a major problem considering Civil engineering plans are all based on profile elevation and stations. Our company is considering switching back to 2010 becasue of this bug.. The whole purpose of data shortcuts is to have an updated version always of the current design.. Has anyone figured out this problem... and no regen and regenall / validate does not fix this issue.)

Yes, but my case is even more simple and it never works. The work around sucks

Like I said, you should better describe on the forum your problem because I have no doubt in my mind that the stated solution has nothing to do with your drawings current problem which has been described as an in drawing problem, which is completely different. This post is about a solution for using civil 3D data shortcuts where the profile is not dynamically updating automatically when you open a data shortcut'd drawing file.(not a current drawing problem)

I would try to best describe it on a new thread and autodesk will get back to you.
