The following issues have been resolved in Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D 2016
Service Pack 2:
API
- An issue with the Profile.CreateFromFeatureLine styleId parameter has been
resolved so that a profile style can now be applied as expected.
- An issue where three LabelStyleCollection.Expressions (CantCriticalPointsLabelStyles,
AreaLabelStyles, and FlowSegmentLabelStyles) would display an InvalidOperationException
has been resolved.
- The Label.SetReferenceTextTarget method now works as expected for a surface
reference.
Export to DWG/DGN
- An issue has been resolved where the display order of objects would change
when the drawing was exported to DWG or DGN.
General
- Having Quick Properties enabled no longer causes a selection issue with
AutoCAD Civil 3D objects, where the drawing would lose focus and a second
click was required to run a command.
Grading and Feature Lines
- A change in behavior has been introduced which enables you to create feature
lines without specifying a site for them. To create feature lines outside
of a site, select the <None> option from the site selection list when
you are creating feature lines. Selecting the <None> option adds the
feature lines to their own top-level collection on the Prospector tab in Toolspace,
underneath the drawing name.
Feature lines that are created outside of a site
do not interact with each other, so you do not need to specify the style priority
for them like you do with feature lines that exist in the same site. They
also do not interact with other objects that they cross, such as alignments,
parcels, or survey figures.
There are some restrictions on using these feature lines in previous versions
of the software:
- These feature lines cannot
be moved or copied to a site.
- In a drawing that contains such feature lines, you must create a new
site for any new feature lines that you want to add to a site.
- An issue has been resolved where extra vertices were created on some feature
lines which impacted the ability to create grading projections from those
feature lines. To resolve this issue, run the AUDIT command in any affected
drawings after installing the service pack.
Hydraflow Storm Sewers
- An issue has been resolved where the junction loss was not calculated in
Hydraflow Storm Sewers when the flow was supercritical.
Labels
- An issue has been resolved where parcel labels and tables within an xref
would become corrupted if the source drawing was modified.
Object Enabler
- An issue has been resolved where having the object enabler loaded would
cause new objects to be added to a drawing when it was saved, which caused
a prompt to be displayed that the drawing needed to be recovered when it was
reopened.
- An issue has been resolved where proxy warnings would appear in Autodesk®
AutoCAD LT® when opening a drawing that contained AutoCAD
Civil 3D objects even though the AutoCAD Civil 3D object enabler was installed.
Note: To download and install the fixes for the object enabler, go
to the AutoCAD
Civil 3D 2016 Object Enabler website.
Points
- The point creation commands At Alignment Geometry and Profile Geometry Points
now honor the specified start and end stations.
Pipe Networks and Pressure Networks
- An issue has been resolved where user-defined structure descriptions would
change to Null Structure when the part was moved or the invert was changed.
- An issue has been resolved where pipe invert grips were in the wrong location
and had incorrect inverts, and these pipes could not be swapped for other
parts.
- The Set Sump Depth structure rule now runs as expected without displaying
an error.
- Synchronizing data shortcut pipes and structures no longer causes the drawing
layer settings to revert to the settings specified on the Object Layers tab
of the Drawing Settings dialog box.
- Linking to a pipe network or pressure network data shortcut in the Link
to a Data Shortcut dialog box and then using the UNDO command no longer causes
an error.
Surfaces
- Issues have been resolved with how negative and positive elevation ranges
in surface analysis are calculated for a volume surface when there are gaps
in the elevation ranges or overlapping elevation ranges.
- An issue has been resolved with surface analysis where the volume reported
in an elevation range was inaccurate if the elevation range exceeded the highest
or lowest elevation.
Survey
- An issue has been resolved where survey figures were exported incorrectly
from the survey database.
Autodesk® InfraWorks® 360 Interoperability
- Alignments and corridors which contain compound spirals are now exported
as expected to IMX.
- An issue has been resolved where an entire Autodesk InfraWorks 360 model
would be opened after selecting the Area Of Interest option in the Open InfraWorks
360 Model dialog box.
Autodesk® Vault
- A drawing with xrefs attached to it and saved with the Save As command can
now be checked into Vault.
- Performance has been improved when checking in files into Vault, refreshing
Vault projects, opening read-only drawings that have xrefs attached, and logging
into a Vault database that contains several projects.
- On the Uses tab of the Preview pane in Vault, duplicate drawings no longer
appear in the list of files for a drawing that has xrefs attached.
- An issue has been resolved where point groups in drawings in a Vault project
would always be marked with an out-of-date icon in Prospector.
