1st post here. We are evaluating Carlson for our survey division. We have been using Civil 3D. We do construction stake out from Civil 3D drawings. The feature lines in C3D allow for 3D curves. I have yet to find a way to bring them into AutoCAD as anything but teselated 3D polylines. We need to stake radius. I can flatten them to a constant elevation in Civil 3D and they explode to 2D poly with radius but it's a one entity at a time operation.
I tried to download the 2011 object enabler but it wasn't able to find my embedded Carlosn/AutoCAD 2011. This may be because it's embedded, or maybe because it's a trial version or because I've had C3D 2011 installed (I did uninstall).
But has anyone used 2011 Carlson w/AutoCAD & Civil 3D OE? Can you work with Feature line objects?
Thanks, looking forward to working with Carlson but I'm trying to work some of these details out before we committ since our engineers will remain on Civil 3D for the forseeable future.
