Shapefile Export crashes C3D

[Gerhard_Niemand]

Hi All

I am experiencing a terribly annoying issue where I can't export a shapefile from Civil 3D.

I am currently running C3D 2024.

I have tried it on previous versions as well and my PC went through a format and C3D has also gone through multiple re-installs.

I tried the MapExport and MapDWGtoSDF commands and both yields the same result. I go through the whole process and then C3D just closes with no warning before it reaches completion. Upon re-opening, C3D shows the Fatal Error message and then I have to open C3D again for it to function as per normal. 

It does not seem that the amount of data selected to create a shapefile of has any effect on the outcome as it does the same with little to no data selected as well. 

The data I am trying to create a shapefile off is lines as everything has been exploded so no funny business there. 

Can you please advise?

Hi Gerhard,
What happens with a different drawing and different linework? Same result? Can you post your drawing where this happens?

Hi @Gerhard_Niemand 

<<...trying to create a shapefile off is lines as everything has been exploded...>>

What were those 'lines' before you exploded them? If you still have the original drawing file, select a line, then with the line still selected take a screenshot, include the Properties Palette in your screenshot. Take a second screenshot of a line after it was exploded, include the Properties Palette. 

Comparing an object's properties before and after exploding can provide vital information. Please share it.
