This AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors Video shows you how to use the FILEDIA command. I believe this command works for all flavors of AutoCAD.

The FILEDIA command controls the file dialog boxes, turning them either on or off, like those used when opening and saving drawings. Sometimes, when the program crashes, this command gets reset to “0″ from “1″.

This AutoCAD Civil 3D for Land Surveyors Video is an update to my last video (AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Paste Surfaces Video – see link below), in which, I forgot to show you how to paste surfaces using the Ribbon in AutoCAD Civil 3D.

You can use this technique to merge design and/or as-built surfaces into your original existing conditions surface. Once you paste the surfaces into the first surface, you will then have one surface that blends all the surfaces together.

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Guts Google Earth

AutoCAD Civil 3D Guts Google Earth!

AutoCAD Civil 3D Guts Google Earth!

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise … Autodesk Guts Google Earth From AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013

In working with the newly released AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, it surprised me to find out that Autodesk gutted Google Earth functionality from this latest C3D version. After not finding the formerly available Google Earth commands in the Import Panel on the Ribbon Insert Tab, I searched on Google for an explanation (ironic, isn’t it?).

What I found was the following Autodesk forum post by an AutoCAD Civil 3D Senior Product Manager:

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Guts Google Earth

AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Guts Google Earth

While I’m not thrilled by getting an explanation that Google Earth utilities are not included in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013, and I’m happy to know that Autodesk will post any potential announcements (if any) on “various channels including Autodesk Labs, Facebook, Blogs and the Civil 3D Discussion Group”, it’s not as effective and open as an explanation clearly posted on the Autodesk, AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 Product Page!
