I would like to have a feature that could swap multiple parts out of the box in Civil 3D, this can be done with a $300 application available in the store. So why not directly in C3D.
Swaping parts 1 by 1 in the complete model takes ages and while working on projects these changes come every now and then and eventually delivery suffers.
I would really appreciate if the developers can help us out in the next update.
I asked Tim Yarris about this recently and he advised whilst it is on their development list, it is not presently being worked on and their is no time frame for doing it
The estimated work likely exceeds what they have currently available given other development work. More detailed work won't start until they have the required resources available.
@Anonymous, I understand not wanting to spend $300 or even $700 extra. However, consider the fact that you've spent plenty of billable hours making the single part swaps, as well as more time looking for a solution, and then complaining about the extra cost. If you'd have invested in a 3rd party solution think of how much time & $ you would have saved by now.
There is another 3rd party solution available (and has been for ~8 years now) that could be had for as little as $175...which also includes many other helpful tools, therefor probably paying for itself in the first few days of use.
Are you still facing the same issue for swapping multiple parts at once. Please go through this link and you can code in VBA and develop your own tool.
This week, we released Project Explorer for Civil 3D, which contains a variety of tools to make navigating and editing a Civil 3D drawing more efficient. One of the many productivity tools included in Project Explorer is the ability to swap multiple pipe network parts.
Watch this video (at approximately 2:20) to see how to swap parts using Project Explorer.
Note swapping multiple pressure network parts has been available since Civil 3D 2017 v1 Enhancements (which was subsequently rolled into Civil 3D 2018).
