Object Enabler 2017 and Corridor

[Anonymous]

(sorry for strange translation)

a) Civil 2017 created a corridor, the target of the slope is a polyline

b) Open the drawing with "Civil 3D as AutoCAD 2017" from start menu. I'm not sure if the Object Enablers are installed.

c) Delete the polyline which is the target of the slope -> the entire corridor is modified and the slope is created with "standard settings", without the polyline as target.

Questions:

- Is the OE that powerful that is recreates the corridor?

- Or offers "Civil as AutoCAD" a lot of Civil-features, although it should work like vanilla  AutoCAD?

the program 'civil 3d as autocad 2017' is simply vanilla autocad with all the civil 3d features removed

object enablers should be installed as part of civil 3d install

'civil 3d as autocad 2017' cannot rebuild corridors etc, if you delete a target polyline, it will not rebuild until it is opened in civil 3d again.

Thanks @M_c3d

but how to explain the watched behaviour - the modification of the slopes?

[M_c3d]

can you do a screencast?

Sadly not. It was remote-access on another PC. So maybe this topic has to stay not totally solved ..

So I just did a test of this and it turns out if you remove a target in 'civil 3d as AutoCAD' it will change the corridor!

I didn't expect this and it really shouldn't be able to happen. You should only be able to view the corridor, not modify it in anyway...

If you do it in vanilla 2017 and not 'civil 3d as AutoCAD' it doesn't do this and performs exactly the way I expected it to originally.

Thanks for confirming it. Let's hope that some Autodesk-guy will read this thread.

@BushW perhaps you could shed some light on why running 'Civil 3d as AutoCAD' is able to modify corridors if you delete the polyline target?

Vanilla autocad works as we expect and is not able to effect the corridor in anyway if we delete the polyline target.

Thanks

I don't understand the need for deleting the polyline targets.  If you want a clean look without the targets showing a) freexe them off or b) dref the corridor in to a clean model

[M_c3d]

I agree, but i think the post was regarding why it happens rather than wanting to

@Anonymous

what do you mean with " b) dref the corridor in to a clean model"?
